Amitabh Bachchan turned emotional remembering the tragic deaths of Sushant Singh Rajput, Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan on his quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati. Bachchan had shared screen space with Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. The Bollywood megastar was asking one of his contestants a question on Angrezi Medium. The question read, “Whose last film in a leading role was Angrezi Medium?” The options were Rishi Kapoor, Sridevi, Irrfan Khan and Girish Karnad. The contestant from Gujarat, a teacher, correctly answered in favour of Irrfan Khan.

Bachchan explained, “Angrezi Medium was directed by Homi Adjania. Irrfan Khan, Radhika Madan and Deepak Dobriyal were seen in leading roles in this film. The film was released on 13 March and, unfortunately, Irrfan sahab passed away on 29 March. He was an extraordinary artist. Our film industry had to lose a hugely talented artist.”Bachchan then went on to add how the year 2020 had seen the tragic deaths of many talented artists. He said, “Rishi Kapoor ji, Sushant Singh Rajput. It hurts when it happens.” Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor were last seen together in film 102 Not Out playing the character of the latter’s father. 77-year-old Bachchan had earlier appeared alongside Rishi Kapoor in films such as Kabhi Kabhie and Amar Akbar Anthony among others.
