WHY AMITABH BACHCHAN GAVE HOUSE HELP NUMBER FOR ONLINE SHOPPING?

Amitabh Bachchan and Shravani engaged in a light-hearted conversation during which the Deewar actor shared a heartwarming story about facing struggles with online shopping.

"You all may have mastered online shopping, but I still haven't figured it yet. Several people have tried to teach me, but I just don't get it. You know that code that comes to your phone when you need to provide it for delivery? The OTP. Well, I was told not to give my number, or else it would become a hassle. It became quite a challenge whenever I wanted to order something, so I gave my house help's number instead. Funny enough, he's even taught me how to shop online! He knows that when I return home after a shoot, it's usually around midnight. If I want to buy something at that time, what can I do? The phone is with him, and the OTP would go to his phone. So now, he leaves his phone in a box at my place, just in case I need to provide an OTP," Amitabh was quoted as saying in a statement released by the channel.

Senior Bachchan further said in his conversation, "Slowly, I'm beginning to understand online shopping, but I haven't quite mastered it yet. And to this day, I haven't used that phone because I haven't bought anything! Then there's the other thing-the cart. They tell you to 'fill the cart.' Now, where am I supposed to fill it from? All of this is still very confusing to me. It's much easier to just go to a shop and tell the shopkeeper, 'Please give me this.'"

Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 airs every Monday to Friday at 9pm on Sony Entertainment Television. The show can be streamed online on SonyLIV.
