Rishab Shetty recreates Mohanlal’s iconic mundu act on Kaun Banega Crorepati | WATCH

Actor and filmmaker Rishab Shetty, fresh from the massive success of Kantara Chapter One, brought a touch of traditional flair and laughter  to the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati.

Welcomed with applause from the audience, Shetty presented a special gift to host Amitabh Bachchan, saying warmly, “Ek gift leke aaya hoon, sir(I have brought a gift for you, sir).” The megastar, visibly delighted, replied with a promise: “Hum isko pehnenge zaroor(I will surely wear this).”

The exchange quickly turned playful when the conversation drifted to the “art” of wearing the traditional garment. Amitabh Bachchan quipped that one must “learn the art of wearing it,” hinting at the dhoti’s tricky drape. His trademark humor followed soon after, as he added with a laugh that if the garment were to “khisak jaaye,” or slip, the situation could become “international.”

The moment instantly struck a chord with fans, paving the way for applause when he said, “Entha mone Dinesha,” Mohanlal’s iconic dialogue that embodies the veteran actor’s effortless grace and comic timing — qualities that have made the dhoti a signature symbol of charm and tradition.

Rishab Shetty’s gesture on the KBC stage felt like a light-hearted homage to that legacy, blending reverence with wit.

Audiences can catch the full episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, featuring Rishab Shetty’s endearing “dhoti act” and his banter with Amitabh Bachchan, this Friday at 9:00 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.
