KBC13: Rajkummar Rao reveals Amitabh Bachchan's touching gesture for his late mother on the night she died in 2016

Actor Rajkummar Rao who recently graced the hot seat on Amitabh Bachchan hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 for a special episode revealed how his late mother was a big fan of the Bollywood superstar. The Hum Ho Humare Do actor revealed how couldn’t fulfill his mother’s wish to meet Amitabh one day but died in 2016 before he could make that happen.

Rajkummar, however, did receive a video from Big B on request which he later played in front of her picture after she died. On the show, Rajkummar told Amitabh, “My mother was your big fan. She loved you a lot. She told me that when she got married in Gurgaon, she only brought one thing with her, that was your poster and she pasted it in my father's bedroom. So my father felt so insecure, he was like, it is an arranged marriage and she has brought a poster of Amitabh with her. My father was so insecure that he asked her if she was with him or with Amitabh.”

Recalling how she always wanted to meet the superstar, Rajkummar then revealed how he was shooting for Newton when he got the news of her demise. The actor said he felt rather guilty about never having fulfilled her wish to come to Mumbai and meet the Bollywood superstar.

Rajkummar then went on to reveal how he had contacted Amitabh on the night of her demise and asked him to make a video which he promised no one else will see. “That very night when (she died), I contacted you and told you about it. I asked you if it was possible for you to make a short video for her and I will not show it to anyone else and I'll just play the video in front of her photo because she just wanted to meet you once. And sir, you instantly made a video for her and I played it in front of her photo and for some reason sir the video disappeared from the pen drive on its own. Nobody knows where the video is. I think it was meant to be between you and her and thank you so much for doing this,” the Shahid actor revealed.

Kriti Sanon who is seen in Hum Do Humare Do opposite Rajkummar was his partner on the hot seat with him.
