Today, as we stroll down memory lane for Throwback Thursday, we revisit an unforgettable episode of Koffee with Karan featuring two of the industry's biggest legends: Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. It was a rapid-fire round like no other, filled with wit, charm, and a sprinkle of humor that left audiences in splits.

As the theoretical curtains lifted on this episode, the stage was set for a rapid-fire round, a segment known for extracting the juiciest tidbits from its celebrity guests. The atmosphere was electric, charged with anticipation as host Karan Johar readied his volley of questions. It was a question about Shah Rukh Khan that turned the tables and set the tone for this memorable exchange.

Karan posed an amusing question to Amitabh Bachchan, "What is one thing that Shah Rukh doesn't have?" Without hesitation, Big B, the baritone of Bollywood, quipped, "My height!" Even Shah Rukh couldn't help but chuckle at Amitabh's playful banter.

However, in the world of rapid-fire rounds, what goes around, inevitably comes around. Shah Rukh Khan, known for his quick wit and playful banter, wasn't about to let Amitabh's remark slide. When the same question was thrown at him, he responded, "A taller wife!" A gentle jab at Jaya Bachchan's stature.

The chemistry between these two megastars didn't end there. Throughout the episode, they regaled the audience with anecdotes from their illustrious careers. From sharing screen space in the critically acclaimed film "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" to discussing their shared love for acting, it was a conversation that left fans wanting more.

Recently, there have been reports of the two stars getting together on screen. According to an inside source, there is an interesting project in the works where Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan will once again be sharing the screen together. Not a lot of news surrounding this project is out yet but there will soon be more updates and news coming out.

The duo has worked together in films like 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' and 'Mohabbatein' and their combination has always been magical. SRK was seen in a cameo role as ‘Mohan Bhargav', a former NASA scientist, in the fantasy action adventure film ‘Brahmastra: Part One Shiva'. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead, while Amitabh was seen in a pivotal role of Raghu, the guru of Brahmansh.
