Amitabh Bachchan talks about “why he wore harem pants”

• Amitabh Bachchan wore harem pants on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati.
• Contestant Vaishnavi asked him about his fashion choices and showed him a picture of him.
• The actor began explaining what made him wear the unusual outfit.

Amitabh Bachchan has told his fans why he wore harem pants on the set of Kaun Banega Crorepati, which made people laugh for months. Amitabh was asked about his style by a contestant, who then showed him a picture of him wearing harem pants before he started to talk.

Amitabh told the audience that one of the contestants, Vaishnavi, is a reporter. Vaishnavi then told Amitabh that she wanted to interview him. “There’s a story behind this. I was shooting in Rishikesh and spotted some men from the production team wearing these pants. As the wind blew, the pants would also flow and I liked them. They looked very comfortable, so I was like ‘humko bhi ye pajama chahiye (I want them for myself). Thoda ventilation ho jaata hai (It provides ventilation). I asked them and they told me they got it from the market. But when I sent a few people to the market, they could not get it.”

He added, “After a few days, the designer from the production team got it for me and sent it to me. Now the picture that you saw here, was shot on KBC set. I had come to the sets, not for KBC, but for rehearsals. I asked them if I had to wear suits like how I dress up for the shoot and they were like ‘it is a rehearsal, wear whatever you want’. I had just received those pyjamas so I wore them. And, I did not have a kurta, so just wore a shirt with it. That’s how this look happened, it was no fashion, but out of compulsion. This also had a red pocket, to keep keys.”
