Amitabh Bachchan's Grandson Agastya Nanda Enjoys Free Meals in New York

Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood actor, is not just known for his remarkable film career but also for sharing delightful stories from his life on the popular quiz show "Kaun Banega Crorepati." Recently, during an episode featuring celebrity contestants Kartik Aryan and Vidya Balan, a charming anecdote about his grandson, Agastya Nanda, emerged, showcasing the lighter side of fame and family.

In the latest episode of "Kaun Banega Crorepati 16," which aired on Sony Entertainment Television, Amitabh engaged his guests in a fun discussion about food. He asked them about their dietary restrictions and the dishes they simply cannot resist. Vidya Balan, known for her love of comfort food, expressed her fondness for "dahi chawal," a popular Indian dish made of yogurt and rice. She reminisced about her childhood in Chembur, where a vada pav stall near the post office was a favorite haunt. Her enthusiasm was palpable as she said, "Sir, I'm salivating just thinking about it!"

Amitabh Bachchan, in turn, shared his own culinary preferences, highlighting a place in Chembur famous for its delicious gulab jamun. He remarked, "The gulab jamun there is also amazing," and noted that in South India, everyone enjoys "dahi chawal." Vidya humorously added, "Dahi bhaat is the remedy for everything," emphasizing the comfort food aspect of their conversation.

Kartik Aryan also joined in, sharing his fond memories of a Chinese food stall in Juhu, close to Amitabh's residence. He mentioned that he has been visiting this stall since his struggling days in the industry and humorously noted that they even named a dish after him, calling it "The Kartik Special." Amitabh responded with a smile, saying, "There's something special about eating on the roadside, and since this place is near my house, I'll visit it to try the 'Kartik Special.'" Vidya playfully warned, "Sir, if you go there, they might change the name of the place!"

The conversation took a delightful turn when Amitabh shared a story about his grandson, Agastya Nanda. While studying in New York, Agastya discovered a dish named "Amitabh Bachchan" at a nearby Indian restaurant. Curious, he inquired about the dish and, after trying it, proudly told the staff, "You know, he's my grandfather." Initially skeptical, the restaurant staff were convinced when Agastya showed them a photo on his phone. This charming revelation led to Agastya enjoying free meals at the restaurant for two years!

Kartik Aryan, with a laugh, added, "Sir, wherever I go to eat at Juhu, they continue to charge me full price!" This light-hearted banter not only entertained the audience but also highlighted the unique experiences that come with being part of a famous family.

Amitabh Bachchan's stories remind us that behind the glitz and glamour of celebrity life, there are relatable moments that connect us all. Whether it is the joy of sharing a meal or the nostalgia of childhood favorites, these experiences resonate with everyone. As we enjoy our own comfort foods, we can appreciate the simple pleasures that life offers, just as the Bachchan family does.
