Amitabh Bachchan got asked a question about Jaya Bachchan in the most recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) 16, available for streaming on SonyLIV via OTTplay Premium. The host was questioned whether his wife cribs about his busy work schedule. This left the actor in splits, post which he joked about Jaya's response. Here's what exactly happened...

Amitabh Bachchan questioned about Jaya Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan was on the hot seat with contestant Sumitra Dinesh. In the middle of the question-answer round, she complained that her husband does not give her time.

Sumitra then went on to ask Amitabh Bachchan himself if his wife Jaya Bachchan complained because he goes on shoots continuously rather than spending time with her. Hearing her question, Big B broke into a laugh. He then joked, "Oh ho, kya bataaye! Yeh jo paarivaarik prashn pooch lete hai na log yahan aake, uss mein humko bada kasht hota hai (the question leaves us in a difficult situation)."
