The episode featured guests Boman Irani and Farah Khan. In the episode, Amitabh said, “Kya aadmi the main bata nahi sakta. Such a simple human being. Ek baar hua ye ki hum dono ek hi jahaj mein jaa rahe the London. Finally landed at Heathrow Airport (What a man! Once we were both travelling via the same flight).”
‘I can’t believe that he said this’
Amitabh added, “Ab jo log unko lene aaye the woh chale gaye honge aur dikhe nahi unhe. Toh he went into the phone booth to call. Main bhi udhar bahar hi khada tha. Thodi der baad wo aaye and I can’t believe that he said this! ‘Amitabh, can I borrow some money from you? I don’t have money to make a phonecall!’ (The people who were supposed to meet him must have gone away as they were not seen. I was waiting as he called. A while later he came and asked me whether he could borrow some money from me)!”
