Amitabh Bachchan and his family have dominated the headlines for a while now but for all the wrong reasons. From rumours about feuds in the family to speculations of an impending divorce between his son, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai, the family was tormented by unfounded speculations. However, they have finally taken steps to shut down the false reports in the classiest ways. Recently, Amitabh was seen bonding with a KBC 16 contestant over a discussion about family and love marriages. The legendary actor's responses hint at his fondness for his loved ones, proving that all is likely well in the Bachchan clan.
Over the years, Amitabh Bachchan has become a permanent fixture on the quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati. Moments from the show frequently go viral online as fans love the host's candid interactions with contestants. In Season 16's latest episode, Big B was seen bonding with a participant over discussions about family and love marriages. The contestant in question was Ashutosh Singh, a software developer from Vadodara, Gujarat.
Ashutosh revealed that participating in KBC had been a long-standing wish so he could appeal to his parents, who regularly watch the show. The reason was that his parents had not spoken to him in five years because he had a love marriage. Ashutosh admitted that he had desperately wanted to come on the show to discuss these issues with Amitabh, hoping his parents would listen to them.
Amitabh responded with a heartfelt wish for Ashutosh that doubled as a plea to his parents. The veteran actor can be quoted as saying:
"I hope that after watching today's episode, your parents will talk to you again, and you can have the conversation you've been longing for."
Amitabh Bachchan further tried to explain to the contestant's parents that love has no barrier by opening up about the love marriages in his family. The actor revealed that his father would joke about bringing family members from every part of the country through marriage. In Amitabh's words:

"Hum hai Uttar Pradesh ke, par chale gaye Bengal. Hamare bhai saab jo hai woh Sindhi parivaar main pahunch gaye, hamari beti Punjabi parivaar mein aur bitwa, aap toh jaante hai… Mangalore. Babuji bola kartein the pehle, 'Desh ke har kone kone se byaah kar ke laaye hai sabko'."
Interestingly, Amitabh Bachchan's comments on family and marriages came not long after his son, Abhishek Bachchan, and daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai, made headlines for a rumoured split. The unfounded speculations first started spreading when the pair arrived separately for the Ambani wedding earlier this year, even posing without each other. Netizens further wondered if things had soured between the couple when Aishwarya's birthday tribute for her beloved daughter, Aaradhya, didn't feature her husband.
However, the couple laid the gossip to rest in the classiest ways. First, it was revealed that Abhishek was very much present at his daughter's 13th birthday when the organisers uploaded a video of the actor thanking them for their work in making the day special. Then, pictures of the couple attending a wedding together went viral online, and they looked happy as can be.
Most recently, Abhishek appeared on Riteish Deshmukh's show, and the I Want To Talk actor's blushing face when the latter asked him about a second baby with Aishwarya was unmissable! Now, Amitabh's heartfelt words on family and love marriages seem to add to the idea that the family's bonds are still going strong.
