Sibling love on "Kaun Banega Crorepati" moved its host Amitabh Bachchan so much that he shared some fun anecdotes about his brother Ajitabh with the audience.

On the 'Jodi Special' episode of the show, when Delhi-based brothers Achin and Sarthak Narula, who hit the jackpot of Rs.7 crore, shared about their brotherly bond, Big B also got nostalgic and shared fond memories of his relationship with his younger brother, said a source from the set.

He said it was Ajitabh who had clicked his first photograph when they were in Kolkata and incidentally, that was the same photograph, which he had circulated to all producers when he decided to become an actor.

He also said that his brother was the one who encouraged him to enter Bollywood and he is really grateful to him for his unconditional support.

"Kaun Banega Crorepati" is aired on Sony Entertainment Television.

Rekha plays harmonium on comedy show

It's a rarity that Rekha steps out of her comfort zone, but when she does, she makes sure her fans know why she's called Bollywood's evergreen diva! On the sets of "Comedy Nights With Kapil", the actress not just took her old harmonium, but also played it for her fans.

The film veteran, who turns 60 Friday, came on the hit TV show to promote her forthcoming film "Super Nani". Her fun-filled stint on the show made her small screen appearance a treat, said a source from channel Colors.

"Rekha brought with herself one of her most prized possessions, her harmonium which has been her musical companion for close to 30 years. And when the instrument was in close proximity, how could she not play it before her fans and audience," the source revealed.

The episodes of "Comedy Nights With Kapil" featuring Rekha will air Oct 11 and Oct 12.
