Preity Zinta Reveals Kids Call Amitabh Bachchan 'KBC Uncle'
A popular TV quiz show called Kaun Banega Crorepati, or KBC, began a new season.
Its very first episode had three famous movie stars as guests.
One of the guests, Preity Zinta, told the host, Amitabh Bachchan, a funny story about her own children.
Her kids know him from a song he sang long ago called 'Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto'.
They call it the 'tiger song' and love to hum its jingle tune.
Mr. Bachchan laughed and said many little children only know him as 'KBC Uncle'.
He joked that after 50-55 years of making movies, nobody names a single character he played.
That song was extra special because it was the first time Mr. Bachchan ever sang in a film.
Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and Aamir Khan were the first guests on the KBC 18 premiere.
Preity Zinta revealed her children know Amitabh Bachchan through his song 'Mere Paas Aao Mere Dosto'.
Her kids call the song the 'tiger song' and are always doing the jingle tune.
Amitabh Bachchan joked children recognize him only as 'KBC Uncle' after 50-55 years in cinema.
The song comes from the 1979 film Mr. Natwarlal, in which Big B sang for the first time.
