Before curtains come down on Kaun Banega Crorepati's 13th season on Saturday, Amitabh Bachchan will be seen hosting India's celebrated spinner Harbhajan Singh and all-rounder Irfan Pathan. The episode is part of the "Shaandaar Shukriya" week, planned to express gratitude towards fans before the season ends. In the promo shared by Irfan Pathan on Instagram, the all-rounder asks the Big B to have a game with them as, "Harbhajan has bowled to many greats but only one is left."
To which, Amitabh Bachchan was seen playing a round of cricket on the KBC 13 stage. As Harbhajan bowls to him, Irfan, acting as the commentator, says that "Amitabh Bachchan Aaj Harbhajan Singh ki bahut pitai karne wale hai’. Big B hits a six and a four, leaving the cricketers surprised. Both the players and the actor were seen having a good time and even the audience was looking delighted to see their favourite cricketers in the quiz show.

In one of the earlier shared promos by Sony, Harbhajan asks Big B that since they have crossed a certain level in the game, they should celebrate with bhangra. Initially surprised at the request, Amitabh asks him for a confirmation saying, “Humare saath aapko naachna hai (you want to dance with me)?”. He then smiles and says, “Toh gaana baja diya jaye (So play the music)”. And soon the trio gets on the stage to Daler Mehndi’s “Bolo ta ra ra ra”.
As part of "Shaandaar Shukriya" week, guests like Ayushman Khurrana, Vaani Kapoor, Badshah, Neha Kakkar, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao, Manish Paul and 'bahus' from the Sony Tv's soaps played a game for a social cause. Notably, Amitabh Bachchan was also seen enjoying his interactions with the celebs. While he re-enacted his Gulabo Sitabo scene with Ayushmann, he rapped along with Badshah and even competed with the heroines in a roti-making competition. On Thursday, while answering Neena’s candid questions, he even went on to surprise fans by saying how he lies to wife Jaya Bachchan every day.
