During the gameplay, a light-hearted moment arises when Abhinav shares his research with Big B, suggesting that humans may be able to travel to Mars. Amitabh Bachchan playfully responds, “If you ever go to space, especially to Mars, make sure to save a piece of land for me as well! And remember, we played KBC together!” With a smile, Abhinav Kishor replies, “There are many craters on Mars named by NASA, so I’ll definitely recommend that NASA find one and name it ‘The Great Big B.’” To this, Amitabh proudly remarks, “Ah, wonderful! Usually, these writers just choose names on their own. My name is simple, let it just be Amitabh… Amitabh Bachchan (laughs).”

Adding to the fun, Mr. Bachchan shares a humorous anecdote saying, “Some years ago, while in Los Angeles, I met a gentleman who was in the business of naming stars in space. He explained that you could name a star after yourself in space, and it would be considered your property.

I was quite surprised and asked if it was truly possible. He showed me a list of stars, saying I could choose one, and it would be named after me. I agreed, paid him, and even received a certificate! But when I returned to India and looked into it, I was told, ‘Sir, you were fooled, there is no such thing!’ So, my friend, if you ever go to Mars, be careful!”
