Amitabh Bachchan’s Uunchai co-stars Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher left teary-eyed on Kaun Banega Crorepati as they talk about their children

Sikander Kher, Masaba Gupta, Danesh and Kayoze Irani talked about the best qualities of their parents, leaving them in tears. Masaba, who mentioned that Neena has the ‘ability to laugh about herself’, added that one of her drawbacks is that she is too emotional about people. “Woh logon ke leke bahut emotional ho jaati hai, woh bhi bewakoof log. So I tell her, treat people for what they are. Treat them as they are. Now she understands it.” About what she would like to change about her mother, Masaba said, “She often says that she wishes that she had received offers earlier in life, just like she’s getting now. But, I just keep telling her to be grateful and to use this time and enjoy.”

Sikander Kher said in his video video message, “Something that he told me that has always stayed with me, is that keep working, and you’ll get more work. And I see that in him. I see his attitude towards work.” He added, “Just want to thank you, dad. You’ve supported me for my entire life. You’ve given me everything. I don’t think a thank you is enough. That will always be there. I love you.” Sikander said that Anupam is too trusting of people, and that could be a drawback. “He trusts anyone immediately, and most of the time, he really hasn’t thought about him, and it doesn’t work out well for him,” he said.

After this, Anupam Kher agreed that children don’t express themselves much to their parents, but he’s grateful for ‘other mediums’. “Father and son never express love so openly, I just saw what Abhishek did for you on your birthday, he spoke so lovingly–and I realised that this is the actual relationship,” he told Amitabh Bachchan, referring to Abhishek Bachchan’s emotional speech on his birthday.

Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, Uunchai is a slice-of-life film that also stars Parineeti Chopra. It will be released in theatres on November 11.
