Imagine this: You’re glued to the show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’, heart racing as contestants chase crores under those bright lights. The legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan isn’t just hosting – he’s dropping wisdom bombs wrapped in laughter. When a contestant named Harshit Bhutani shared a hilarious personal story about his home (back in 2024) he had everyone cracking up, and Big B’s cheeky response to it was nothing but pure gold! It’s the kind of marriage advice that’s equal parts funny and spot-on, straight from a man who’s married for over 50 years to Jaya Bachchan.The contestant’s personal anecdote that led to the candid talkHarshit, beaming with excitement of being on KBC, spilled the tea on a long-running challenge at home. “There’s this bet with my wife— my Adishakti sitting right behind me,” he grinned in Hindi. “We’ve both been trying hard—who’ll make it to KBC? She’s prepping, I’m prepping… and finally, I got here!” The audience chuckled as his wife playfully chimed in from the wings, claiming credit for his prep sessions. It’s that classic couple banter we all recognise and secretly adore.Then came Amitabh Bachchan’s witty remark, “Patni ke saamne haar maan lena chahiye humesha, vo humesha sahi hoti hai. Andar ki baat toh hum aur aap jaante hi hai na?” Which literally translates to, “You should always politely agree to lose in front of your wife— she’s always right. Meanwhile, we all know the reality, right?” The studio erupted in relatable laughter. It’s witty, wise, and winking at every husband watching: Pick your battles, guys. Let your beloved wife win this one— for peace, harmony, and a happier home.Why this tip works wonders (Even if it’s said in humour)Big B’s advice isn’t just playful; it’s a blueprint for marital bliss. In the heat of an argument— over who controls the remote, whose turn it is to watch over the kids— choosing grace over ego diffuses tension like magic. It’s about reading the room (or the relationship) and saying, “You’re right, love.” Not because she’s always correct, but because harmony is more important than winning an argument every time. Marriages are built on compromise, laughter, and understanding that your relationship is more important that winning an argument.And, Amitabh Bachchan knows this better. He and Jaya Bachchan have been married since 1973— for over 50 years and counting! From working together in films like ‘Sholay’ and ‘Abhimaan’ to raising their children Shweta and Abhishek, they’ve weathered storms, scandals, and spotlight glare. The secret to their long lasting marriage? A blend of respect, humour, teamwork and choosing to show up, every day.What’s your go-to move for keeping peace at home? Tell us in the comments below.
