Samay Raina’s hilarious banter with Amitabh Bachchan over share in actor's property
A special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 (KBC 16) recently featured popular comedians and YouTubers Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, and Bhuvan Bam as guests. Hosted by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, the episode quickly went viral, thanks to Samay’s witty remarks about Sooryavansham, a film synonymous with endless reruns on Indian television.
Samay’s playful dig at Sooryavansham
During the show, Samay, seated on the hot seat alongside Tanmay while Bhuvan watched from the audience, humorously recalled his first experience watching an Amitabh Bachchan film. “The first film of yours I ever saw was Sooryavansham,” he declared. As Amitabh nodded in approval, Samay continued, “The second film I watched was Sooryavansham, and the third film was Sooryavansham.” He then explained, “Kyuki TV pe wohi aati thi” (It was the only movie that aired on TV all the time). The remark left the Shahenshah star in splits.
"Aapne Beta Bana Hi Diya Hai Toh Property Mein Hissa?"
In another lighthearted exchange, Amitabh recited his iconic Shahenshah dialogue:
"Rishte mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hain, naam hai Shahenshah."
Seizing the moment, Samay quipped, “Aapne beta bana hi diya hai toh property mein thoda hissa?” (If you’ve made me your son, can I have a share in your property?), while folding his hands in a pleading gesture. The witty comeback had both the audience and Big B laughing.

Samay’s failed attempt to enter Amitabh’s Juhu bungalow
Taking the humor up a notch, Samay shared an anecdote about attempting to enter Amitabh’s iconic Juhu bungalow, Jalsa, only to be stopped by security. He jokingly claimed, “Mujhe hi nahi, mere dadi ko dhoondhke peeta sir” (Not just me, they even found my grandmother and beat her up). The playful exaggeration once again had Amitabh and the audience in stitches.
The clip ended with Samay expressing his disbelief at being on the show, saying, “Mujhe believe nahi ho raha sir, aapko humare saath baithna pad raha hai” (I can’t believe, sir, that you have to sit with us).
The comedians and their journey
Samay Raina, known for his bold roast show India’s Got Latent, first gained recognition as the joint winner of Comicstaan Season 2 alongside Aakash Gupta. Apart from comedy, he is a chess enthusiast who regularly streams chess matches.
Tanmay Bhat, co-founder of the now-defunct All India Bakchod (AIB), has successfully transitioned to YouTube, producing reaction videos and investment content. Bhuvan Bam, one of India’s most successful YouTubers, is best known for his BB Ki Vines sketches.
KBC celebrates 25 years
With Kaun Banega Crorepati celebrating its 25th anniversary, this episode was a reminder of the show’s ability to blend knowledge with entertainment. The camaraderie between Amitabh Bachchan and the three comedians created a fun-filled moment that resonated with fans across social media.
