The episode was filled with candid conversations with Amitabh Bachchan. In a significant moment, the 83-year-old actor shared his first meeting with his wife, actress Jaya Bachchan, capturing everyone's attention.
A woman from the audience asked Big B about his love story with Jaya Bachchan. She said, "It is heard that your love story with Jaya ji began on the sets of Zanjeer and soon after, you two got married. Is it true?” Reacting to this, Amitabh Bachchan smiled and said, "This is a parivarik (family) show and let it be like that. But since you asked, let me clear the air—you are absolutely wrong."

Responding to her question, the legendary actor shared an interesting story about when he met Jaya Bachchan. Big B said, "Jaya and I were cast for Guddi. I had also shot for 10–12 days. But Hrishikesh da thought I would not be a good choice since my film Anand was releasing, and I might not suit the role. Hence, they got Dharmendra. But Jaya and I met there first—and what happened next, I am not going to say."
