Mumbai, August 5 — Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, known for keeping pace with contemporary language, discovered a new Gen Z term — “Biwi Paglu” — during the shoot of the upcoming season of the quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
In a promo released by the host channel ahead of the show’s August 10 premiere, Bachchan was left amused after noticing that a contestant had listed his occupation as “biwi paglu.”
Reacting to the unusual entry, he said: “Biwi paglu, occupation biwi paglu, hum sochein, ki aap labour ministry mai kaam kar rahein hain, idhar to occupation aaraha hain biwi paglu.” (Biwi Paglu? Occupation: Biwi Paglu? I thought you worked in the Labour Ministry, but here your occupation is listed as ‘Biwi Paglu’.)
