In
the
upcoming
episode
of
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati,
viewers
will
witness
a
heartwarming
reunion
as
Manoj
Bajpayee
shares
a
deeply
cherished
moment
with
the
legendary
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Joining
the
star
cast
of
The
Family
Man
Season
3
on
the
stage,
Manoj
opens-up
about
a
memory
that
has
stayed
with
him
for
nearly
three
decades.
He
recalls
their
first
meeting
during
the
screening
of
‘Satya’
28
years
ago,
a
moment
so
overwhelming
that
he
initially
tried
to
avoid
facing
Amitabh
Bachchan
altogether.
But
destiny
had
other
plans.
Reflecting
on
that
unforgettable
encounter,
Manoj
says,
“A
well-known
film
journalist
tricked
me
into
stepping
out
of
the
car
and
locked
it
from
inside,
forcing
me
to
stay
out
and
meet
Amitabh
Bachchan
instead
of
hiding.
I
panicked.
If
I
stood
there,
Amitabh
ji
would
see
me.
So,
I
ran
straight
into
the
washroom
and
locked
myself
inside.
After
some
time,
thinking
Bachchan
might
have
left,
I
stepped
out
only
to
find
Abhishek
Bachchan
waiting
outside.”
Manoj
Vajpayee
adds,
“Abhishek
told
me
he
had
seen
him
run
in
and
had
waited
to
say
hello.
And
then,
this
tall,
towering
figure
appeared
right
in
front
of
me,
Amitabh
Bachchan
himself.
Time
just
stopped.
I
couldn’t
hear
anything.
My
mind
went
blank.
The
man
who
inspired
me
all
the
way
back
in
fifth
grade.
was
standing
right
in
front
of
me.
Amitabh
sir
was
holding
my
hand
and
was
talking
to
me
and
I
had
gone
deaf,
I
could
not
process
the
whole
scene.
Overwhelmed,
I
mustered
the
courage
to
ask
,
“Sir…
can
I…
may
I
hug
you?”
Amitabh
Bachchan
hugged
him.
Manoj
revisits
that
memory
on
the
stage
of
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
with
the
same
humility
and
admiration
he
asks
once
again
for
a
hug,
creating
a
beautiful
full-circle
moment.
