Amitabh’s candid responses
On the hot seat, Priyanka had several witty and candid questions to Amitabh Bachchan, starting with, “Aapka ghar itna bada hai, agar remote kho jaye toh kaise dhoondhte hain (You have such a big house. How do you find it when the TV remote gets lost)?” The actor replied, “Seedha set-top box ke paas jaake usse control karte hain (We go directly to the set-top box)!”

Priyanka then asked, “Sir, middle-class families mein jab remote kho jata hai, toh ghar mein ladai ho jaati hai. Kya aapke ghar mein bhi aisa hota hai (If the remote gets lost in a middle-class family, then everyone starts fighting with each other. Does the same happen at your house)?” Amitabh responded, “Nahi, Devi ji, humare ghar mein aisa nahi hota. Do takiye hote hain sofa par, remote unmein chhup jata hai. Bas wahi dhoondhna padta hai (No, not at our house. There are two cushions on the sofa, and the remote is mostly found somewhere between them)!”

What Jaya Bachchan asks him to bring home
Priyanka also asked, “Jab main office se ghar jaati hoon, toh mummy bolti hain dhaniya ya kuch aur le aana. Kya Jaya ma’am aapko bhi kuch laane ke liye kehti hain (When I return from work, my mother asks me to get some vegetable from the market. Does Jaya Bachchan also do the same)?” Amitabh Bachchan says: “Bilkul kehti hain. Keh deti hain, ‘Apne Aap ko le aana ghar (Yes! She says to bring myself home)!’”

Priyanka moves on the last question, “Sir, kabhi ATM jaake cash nikala hai aur apna balance check kiya hai (Have you ever taken out cash from the ATM and checked the account balance)? Amitabh Bachchan replied, “Na toh hum apne paas cash rakhte hai, na kabhi ATM gaye hai, kyunki hamein samajh nahi aata ke kartein kaise hai. Lekin Jaya ji ke paas hota hai. Main unse paise maangta hoon (I neither keep cash nor visit an ATM because I never understood how to use an ATM! But Jaya keeps cash. I ask her for money).”

He then added: “Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai, toh raaste mein jab chhote bacche haar bechne aate hain, toh main unse kharidta hoon aur woh haar kabhi Jaya Ji ko deta hoon ya kabhi gaadi mein rakh leta hoon, kyunki unki mehek acchi lagti hai (Jaya loves jasmine flowers so I often buy some jasmine garlands from the road and either give it to her or keep it in my car because it has a beautiful fragrance, which I like).”

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan tied the knot in 1973 and have been married for 51 years now. They have two children – Abhishek Bachchan, who is also a Bollywood actor, and Shweta Bachchan.

Bang Si Hyuk credits himself and BTS for cultural impact, but fans aren’t happy: ‘It’s embarrassing…’

In a recent interview, Bang Si Hyuk discussed his journey with BTS, acknowledging their groundbreaking success and the shift in perceptions of Asian culture.

HYBE founder and Chairman Bang Si Hyuk recently sat down for an interview with Asia Society, which was subsequently released on YouTube. During the interview, the K-pop mogul, currently embroiled in legal disputes with former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and the K-pop group NewJeans, attributed the rise of the global Hallyu wave to the success of BTS.

Bang Si Hyuk credits BTS for K-pop success
“Honestly, I never imagined this kind of success,” Chairman Bang replied when asked if he ever envisioned his work leading to the spread of K-pop and Korean culture. “When I was young, the global market, or the U.S. market, which represents the global market, felt so far from me. All those involved were heroes to me, people I could never possibly approach.”

Crediting BTS for their role in his success, he continued, “And when BTS and I embarked on this journey together, I never thought it would lead us to where we are now.”

Bang Si Hyuk spoke about his unexpected journey with BTS, admitting that he never imagined their success would reach the level it has today. He shared that a couple of years after BTS debuted, he realised he was creating something truly groundbreaking in Asia. “I got to where I am now because I chased my dreams, but even now, when I look back, there are many times when what I’m doing feels unrealistic,” he said according to The Qoo.

Bang also touched on the importance of understanding cultural differences, believing that when we welcome those differences, it can lead to global peace and progress. “Before BTS achieved global success, the understanding of Asian culture was very narrow or superficial, and people who liked Asian culture were seen as people with very unique tastes.”

He continued, “I think that my efforts through BTS have improved our understanding of each other as people around the world have come to think that they are hot.”

K-netizens react to HYBE’s chairman’s comment on BTS and K-pop success
While BTS undeniably brought a revolutionary change to K-pop, positioning itself as one of the biggest and most influential boy bands with millions of fans around the world, not everyone seemed pleased with Bang Si Hyuk’s recent remarks. Some Korean fans felt it was unfair of him to overlook the contributions of earlier K-pop acts who helped pave the way for BTS’s success. Others also pointed to his ongoing controversies with NewJeans and questioned how he handles K-pop groups beyond BTS.

“Is he still in the US? Why isn’t he even coming to Korea, yet keeps mentioning the members and talking nonsense?” a social media user commented. “Bang Si Hyuk, wake up. I had a lot of problems with being a BTS fanboy, and I’m worried about the future, so I’m on the verge of quitting the fandom,” another user shared. “It’s embarrassing that HYBE is becoming the face of K-pop,” a third chimed in. “It’s all because of BTS, not you, so don’t take credit,” another remarked. However, some defended him, praising his treatment of BTS despite the criticism, with others pointing out how he is being treated unfairly in Korea due to “stupid” allegations.
