On the celebrity episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana jokingly apologized to veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan for referring to him as "budhau," or old man, in their 2019 film Gulabo Sitabo. The incident occurred as the two discussed their past collaboration. Ayushmann playfully apologized to Bachchan, who turned 84 during the show.
Bachchan humorously inquired about "84-year-old behavior," eliciting laughter from the studio audience. The episode also included a tribute to Bachchan during his birthday week and a segment where Ayushmann sang one of his songs. Sara Ali Khan, Ayushmann's co-star on the show, revealed her envy of Khurrana's prior experience working with Bachchan, noting that her own relatives had acted alongside the veteran.
Ayushmann and Sara reached the Rs12.5 lakh question on the quiz show, with the winning amount being donated to charity to Balashah Foundation and UNICEF India. Udta Teer, directed by Akash A Kaushik, is Ayushmann's directorial debut and features him in a spy-comedy role.
