Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan says he does not belong to any religion.
On the Gandhi Jayanti special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, host Big B will be seen sharing an anecdote with the sociologist Bindeshwar Pathak.
“My surname ‘Bachchan’ does not belong to any religion as my father was against it. My surname was Srivastava, but we never believed in it. I feel proud saying is that I’m the first person to hold this family name. When I was taking admission to Kindergarten, my father was asked my surname and then he decided that my surname would be ‘Bachchan’. When Census employees come to my place, they ask me about my religion and I always answer that I belong to no religion, I’m Indian,” Bachchan had said.
Big B also spoke about his family tradition of starting the Holi festival by putting color on the foot of a person who is highly respected and elderly.
The episode is all set to air on Sony TV on Wednesday. (IANS)
