Actor Saif Ali Khan has provided a humorous update regarding his much-discussed guest appearance on the television quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. During a recent episode of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, where the actor appeared alongside his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan, he revealed that he is still waiting to receive the two-year supply of ghee and the prize cheque that were promised to him during the reality show.
The conversation began when host Kapil Sharma referenced the actor’s recent debut on Instagram. Sharma brought up a fan comment suggesting that Saif’s newfound enthusiasm for social media might have been sparked by the excitement of his KBC prize win. The reference prompted Kareena Kapoor to join in the lighthearted teasing, while the audience responded with laughter. Saif, seizing the moment, clarified the status of his winnings, stating, "I just want to clear one thing. I haven’t even received the ghee yet." He further added that he had also not yet received the accompanying cheque, which drew amusement from both the host and guest Archana Puran Singh.
The original "ghee moment" occurred when Saif appeared on Amitabh Bachchan’s show alongside actor Akshay Kumar to promote their film, Haiwaan. During the broadcast, the host informed the contestants that answering the tenth question correctly would earn them a two-year supply of Gowardhan ghee. Saif’s genuine, enthusiastic reaction—where he exclaimed, "Wow, what?" and later remarked, "This is it; this is why I came"—quickly became a viral sensation on social media. Clips of the interaction were widely circulated, with many viewers finding the actor’s candid response both memorable and unintentionally funny.
Following his recent comments on The Great Indian Kapil Show, fans have once again taken to social media to discuss the incident. Several users humorously demanded that the show organizers fulfill the promise. Some fans tagged the production channel, questioning why the prize had remained unfulfilled for so long, while others used the opportunity to circulate the popular meme that originated from the actor’s initial reaction on the quiz show.
Beyond the joke regarding his pending prize, the couple also discussed their real-life affinity for the dairy product. Kareena Kapoor confirmed that ghee is a regular staple in their household. Saif added a comedic touch to the discussion, joking about the culinary environment of their home. He remarked, "She just doesn’t eat ghee but also rubs it on her feet every night. Imagine, this is such a romantic thing that our bedroom smells like dhaba every night."
The lighthearted exchange served as a reminder of the enduring nature of viral television moments. While the actor’s frustration regarding the missing prize was clearly delivered in a comedic spirit, the internet’s revival of the narrative demonstrates the lasting impact of his original KBC appearance. Currently, Saif Ali Khan was last seen in the Priyadarshan-directed film Haiwaan, while Kareena Kapoor is preparing for the sequel to the film Crew.
