Big B recalls audacious U.S. club entrance using cigar and persona during KBC17, entertaining audience.

In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, viewers got more than quiz excitement they got to see a slice of Amitabh Bachchan’s younger self, cheeky and creative. A contestant named Vijay Kumar Prasad, part-time teacher and budding entrepreneur from Lohardaga, Jharkhand, was on the hot seat, hoping the game would change his life. Amid tensely fought rounds, Big B shared an amusing memory from his time in the United States: he once used a cigar as a prop and dressed up like an influential personality just to gain entry into an exclusive club.

He recalled noticing how appearances and perception matter in certain social situations abroad. Dressed sharply, holding a cigar, and carrying himself with confidence, he managed to convince the doormen that he belonged in that club. The anecdote had the audience laughing, but it also revealed Bachchan’s early understanding of image, class, and the subtleties of social boundaries. The show balanced it with Prasad’s journey, his hopes, and the usual tension when lifelines, risk, and big money are involved.

More than just entertainment, this story felt personal: it showed that even superstars have gone through moments of improvisation, performance, and daring. It reminded many that sometimes people do whatever feels necessary to belong, to be seen, to cross thresholds that seem closed. Comedy and humility combined when Bachchan chuckled at how young he must have looked, how audacious the plan was, but how it worked in that moment.

By the end, the audience saw not just questions and cash but also the human behind that voice on the TV, someone who once learned that maybe a little boldness goes a long way.
