Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared a fascinating anecdote about Sara Ali Khan’s family legacy.
During the conversation on the popular quiz based reality show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh complimented the beautiful eyes of members of Sara’s family and recalled an interesting memory about her great-grandmother, Sajida Sultan, the mother of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, fondly known as Tiger Pataudi.
Sharing his observation, Amitabh said, “Ek cheez hum batana chahte hain aapko jo humne hamesha ye nazar rakha hai. Aapke parivaar mein jitne bhi chehre hain, un sab ki aankhein bahut sundar. Tiger se lekar ke aaj tak kuch baat hai aapke aankho mein, wo hume bahut pasand hai. Aur yahin tak nahi main aapko bata doon, shayad aap soche bhi nahi thi, us zamane ki baat bata raha hoon, Tiger ki matashri jo ki Bhopal ki thi, kaafi vriddhavastha mein thi us zamane mein, wo ek white color ki open-air Jaguar gaadi chalati thi Delhi mein aur bade shaan se baith ke chalati thi..” (There is something I would like to tell you, something I have always observed. Everyone in your family has very beautiful eyes. From Tiger to the present generation, there is something special about your eyes, which I like very much. And that’s not all. Let me tell you something you may never have imagined. I am talking about those days. Tiger’s mother, who belonged to Bhopal, was quite elderly at the time, yet she used to drive a white open-air Jaguar in Delhi, sitting behind the wheel and driving with great pride and elegance)."
Sara appeared surprised by the revelation and responded, “Nahi maloom…” (I didn’t know).
Amitabh then added, “Maine dekha hai unko..” (I have seen her).
The anecdote offered a glimpse into the family’s rich history, while Amitabh’s personal recollection added a nostalgic touch to the conversation.
