Big B’s Midnight Match Routine Keeps Jaya Bachchan’s Peaceful Sleep Completely Undisturbed

Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a candid and humorous glimpse into his family life while interacting with contestants on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18. The veteran actor spoke about his love for sports and revealed how he and his son, Abhishek Bachchan, manage to watch late-night matches at home without disturbing his wife, Jaya Bachchan. During the episode, Amitabh was asked whether Jaya objects to watching matches at home, similar to the experience described by the contestant.

The actor laughed and agreed that she does. He then explained that he and Abhishek came up with what he described as a clever solution to continue watching sports late into the night while allowing Jaya to sleep peacefully. Amitabh said the family installed a separate television for him and Abhishek. According to the actor, when it gets late, they tell Jaya that it is time for her to go to sleep. Once she retires for the night, the father-son duo stays back and continues watching their matches.

Amitabh recounted the arrangement with humour, describing it as a bit of “akalmandi”, or cleverness. The actor also acknowledged that both he and Abhishek take a keen interest in sports. Their enthusiasm for watching matches, particularly those that take place late at night, has apparently resulted in the unusual arrangement at home. Rather than giving up on their viewing habits, the two have found a way to continue following the action without keeping Jaya awake.

Amitabh’s anecdote offered viewers a glimpse into an informal side of his relationship with his family. Known primarily for his decades-long career in Indian cinema, the actor frequently shares personal memories and stories while interacting with contestants on Kaun Banega Crorepati. His conversations on the show often move beyond the questions and answers to anecdotes from his professional and personal life.

The exchange also highlighted the shared sporting interest between Amitabh and Abhishek. While the two actors have established separate careers in the film industry, their enthusiasm for sports appears to be another common interest. Amitabh’s account suggested that watching important matches together has become a familiar part of their routine. His humorous description of the arrangement prompted a relatable picture of a household trying to balance different preferences around late-night television.

The separate television allows Amitabh and Abhishek to follow their favourite sporting events while Jaya can retire for the night without being disturbed. The anecdote came during Amitabh’s ongoing stint as host of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, where he continues to engage contestants with questions, conversations and stories. His latest revelation about late-night matches provided another light-hearted moment on the show, giving viewers a glimpse into how one of Bollywood’s most celebrated families handles its sports-viewing traditions at home.
