Amitabh Bachchan was seen chatting with various candidates who had demands for him in a video released on Instagram by Sony Entertainment Television. While one individual requested that Amitabh recite a few lines from his father Harivanshrai Bachchan's poetry Agneepath, another asked if he would name her soon-to-be-born grandchild.

She said in Hindi, “Sir, during this Aasha Abhilasha week, even I have a request for you. I am about to become a grandmother, and I would be honoured if you would agree to naming the baby.” Amitabh congratulated her, as she continued, “This way, my generation, my son's generation, his child's generation – all three generations – would be connected to you.”

 Before the clip broke off, Amitabh smiled and turned away, indicating that he didn't have an immediate response. Explaining the concept of the Aasha Abhilasha week, Amitabh said in his introduction, “Through this initiative, we will try to fulfil the wishes of our studio audience, our contestants, and even viewers at home.”

He continued, “Then she scolded me, ‘Hey get it right, who do you think you are?’” Farah interjects and says, “I was telling that to Abhishek, sir!” Bachchan replied, “But his cap was falling right.” To which Farah jokingly asked, “Is your cap falling correctly now?”
