The video also carries Malayalam actor Mukesh's audio responding to Bachchan and scolding him for calling him at night.
How did we find out the truth?: We performed a relevant keyword search on Google which led us to the audio recording of Mukesh.
In the original audio file, Mukesh can be heard abusing someone for calling him after 11 PM.
This video was shared by a YouTube channel called 'Cochin Buddies' and was shared on 12 June 2015.
We also found a report shared by The Times of India where he addresses the incident and says that he has no regrets about that particular conversation.
About KBC episode: We found the original video of this episode from 25 March 2024 on KBC's YouTube channel.
This clip is from Season 14, Episode 58, which shows Bachchan making a surprise call to a man named Khurram Kalam from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
