Amitabh Bachchan says 363 days to 2027
"Someone who thinks they are very smart – Amitabh Bachchan decoding Shaana on KBC"

Mumbai, Jan 2

Veteran Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan seems to be done with 2026 already. On Friday, the actor took to his X, formerly Twitter, and shared a note as he said that 2 days have already passed in 2026, and only 363 days remain until 2027.

He wrote, "T 5613 - 2 days have passed; 363 are left".

Big B is known for his short but intriguing tweets, which often tickle the funny bones of his followers. The actor also hosts the quiz based reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.

Earlier, actress Mithila Palkar, who recently visited the sets of popular quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati, threw in popular Marathi phrases, asking Big B to decode them one by one, leaving the audience entertained. Mithila asked the megastar the meaning of "Shaana".

Big B smiled and said, "Someone who thinks they are very smart". Mithila laughed and replied, "Correct". Sharib Hashmi, who accompanied Mithila on the show, further quizzed him on "Dedh Shaana", and the actor responded, "A person who tries to act extra smart".

Mithila nodded in acceptance, impressed by the quick decode. The actress later asked the meaning of "Sumdi to Komdi". When Amitabh found it difficult to decode, she hinted with a relatable example, describing it as quietly doing something you shouldn't, like sneaking into the fridge at midnight to eat extra Diwali sweets after being told to have only one.

Amitabh, after a brief pause, lit up and said, "Oh yes, stealing!" The duo shared a laugh, with Big B adding, "I will use this tonight". Mithila also revisited the slang "Vaat Laagli", to which Amitabh repeated the slang in his style, making the audience burst out into laughter. Beyond the playful exchange, Mithila, who was thrilled upon meeting the legendary megastar, shared a heartfelt note of gratitude on her social media.

She wrote, "Grew up watching him do his magic, grew up watching this show, and now got to be on this show with him. So grateful that I get to live this life".

The special episode will also feature actors Vir Das and Mona Singh on the hot seat, with Sharib Hashmi joining the celebration.

"Sumdi to Komdi" hahaha! That's exactly what my kids do with the mithai box. Love how he's always game to learn and engage with regional slang. A true legend who never stops being a student.

Respectfully, while I adore Big B, this feels like a very light news day. There are more pressing issues in the country than a celebrity's tweet about days passing. Media should balance coverage better.

His tweet is a mood! Feels like 2026 just started and he's already looking ahead. Time flies, yaar. Also, promoting Marathi phrases on a national platform is so nice to see. Representation matters!

As someone who's lived in Mumbai for 5 years, I love seeing these cultural exchanges. Bachchan's willingness to engage with local language and humor is what makes him beloved across generations.

Mithila's gratitude note hits home. Many of us have literally grown up with him - from angry young man to the wise host of KBC. He's a part of our collective memory. What a career!
