What do you expect when Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and superstar comedian Kapil Sharma join forces on the stage? Entertainment, entertainment and entertainment!
Their chemistry was crackling! Their barbs were hilarious! And their oneliners literally bowled over the audience who assembled here for the mega launch of the eighth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, which will go on air from August 17.
From taking potshots at each other to trading light-hearted barbs - both of them displayed their funny sides and made the audience double up with laughter on Saturday at the jam-packed Surat International Exhibition and Convention Centre, which has a seating capacity of about 7,000 people.
The two, now described as the titans of Indian television - Big B for his over 14-year successful stint with KBC, and Kapil for entertaining with his hit show Comedy Nights With Kapil - were so enthralling that the audience stayed glued to their seats for over five hours.
The high point of the show was when Big B, marvelling at Kapil's humour, turned to the comedian's mother sitting in the audience and asked, Aaj main bhi aap se poochna chahta hoon ki aapne kya kha ke isse paida kiya tha?
"Daal-phulka," pat came the response of Kapil's mother which had the people in splits, and she then told Big B that his father had a good sense of humour and his son had inherited it from him.
Another funny moment was when Kapil's single status was enquired about and he turned the table by requesting Big B and saying, "Would you please be kind enough to take my proposal to actress Deepika Padukone?"
They complemented each other on the stage and their fans were delighted to see them letting their hair down, especially 71-year-old Mr Bachchan, who was in full form.
From shaking his leg to cracking jokes, Amitabh, known for organising stage shows abroad during his prime, was admirable in every sense of the word.
Kapil admitted being jittery about teaming up with Mr Bachchan, but praised him for "giving space" and added, "This is my third time with Bachchan saab and whenever I work with him, I feel blessed."
Kapil, who also took the hot seat for a dummy round, said his father was a fan of KBC and he used to watch the game show with him.
The ace comedian also got emotional.
"My mother was sitting in the audience and I got emotional, but then I thought I have come here to entertain people."
Big B was a treat to watch and Kapil, known for his gift of the gab, increased the fun with his presence.
