Amitabh Bachchan gets ‘disappointed’ on listening ‘Mere Angne Mein’ on ‘Kbc 15’: ‘I have sung badly’
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was left disappointed and embarrassed, when the song ‘Mere Angne Mein’ was played in ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ season 15, revealing the story behind the iconic track sung by him.
The song is from 1981 film ‘Laawaris’, directed by Prakash Mehra. The film is famous for its song ‘Mere Angne Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam Hai’, due to Bachchan’s comedic performance in drag. The lyrics pay tribute to every type of wife, be they fat, tall, short, dark, or fair skinned.
The male version of the song is sung by Amitabh Bachchan, while the female version by Alka Yagnik. The movie stars Big B and Zeenat Aman in the lead.
In the episode 21 of the quiz based reality show, host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed Neeru Yadav, popularly known as Hockey Sarpanch, from Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu, and Chhavi Rajawat former Sarpanch of Soda, a village which is 60 kilometers from Jaipur, Rajasthan — to the hot seat.

Well, that's the question that everybody seems to be asking about the Sajid Khan's hit film Housefull that's all set to have its worldwide television premiere on August 29, 2010. When the film was released in theatres earlier this year, it had the remix version of the yesteryear's famous track 'Apni Toh Jaise Taise' (from the late Prakash Mehra's hit film Laawaris), which later on became the reason for a controversy that's dodging the film till today. Prakash Mehra's son, Puneet Mehra, objected to the usage of the song in Housefull saying the producers had not taken rights for the same. While the makers of the film claimed that they had purchased the song rights from the music label Sa Re Ga Ma. The issue was however settled and the film released in theatres with the song. Coming to the television premiere of the film, Puneet again moved to...
