Amitabh Bachchan was left cracked up when a contestant on KBC 16 explained Gen Z dating terms to him, called Abhishek Bachchan her ‘backup’ option and suggested the superstar ‘bench’ his wife Jaya Bachchan. KBC 16 contestant Ritika Kumari said, “I love giving advice to my friends, especially when it comes to relationships because as we all know, today’s youth faces numerous issues. I mean, consider the trends nowadays – benching, ghosting, breadcrumbing are all prevalent.
..” A post shared by Sony Entertainment Television (@sonytvofficial) Amitabh Bachchan asked, “Breadcrumbing matlab roti khana? (What is the meaning of breadcrumbing? Is it eating bread?)” Ritika explained, “Sir, breadcrumbing means that the boy gives hints, the girl gives hints, but they don’t commit to being in a relationship.
” The actor quipped, “Just want to know, I know I am too old for this. However, if I ever get a chance, what will I say? Hey, will you eat bread?” “Gen-Z keeps coming up with new terms, and nobody can normally decode it,” Ritika said and then explained what ‘benching’ means. She said, “The last one is benching, which means that you and I are sitting on a bench, but there is another boy also sitting there, like Abhishek Bachchan.
So, sir, I am talking to you, but my backup plan is Abhishek Bachchan...
” This left Amitabh Bachchan in splits and then he asked if the concept applied to both men and women. Ritika suggested that he bench his wife, Jaya.
