Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting the twelfth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati and on one of the Kids’ Special episodes, he recalled an incident when he mistakenly interrupted his granddaughter, Aaradhya Bachchan's virtual class. When he once saw Aaradhya doing yoga poses, he asked her what she’s doing. To which, Aaradhya asked him to move aside as her online class was going on and her teacher was teaching yoga. Then, when the kid contestant noticed and complimented the cufflink on Big B’s outfit, he revealed that all his cufflinks have names of all kids from his family and the one he is wearing has his grandson, Agastya Bachchan's name.
Amitabh Bachchan had spent his lockdown at his Mumbai residence, Jalsa with his children, Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and grandchildren, Navya Naveli Nanda, Agastya Nanda and Aaradhya Bachchan.

In May 2019, Agastya Nanda had graduated from Sevenoaks School, London and his proud grandfather, Amitabh Bachchan had penned his feelings in his blog. He had written, "Another (grandchild) several miles away graduates and it's a moment of great pride and joy... The family is all with him and there are frequent messages and pictures flying about. But I mean, he was just born the other day and we had all been around his mother at Breach Candy Hospital, and carried him into the world with affection and love... And there he is today, spanking big boy, carnation on his suit lapel, hair flushed back and looking very British... And taller than everyone else in the family. Err...almost... still have to see where he measures against Abhishek and me."
In an interview with the IANS, Amitabh Bachchan had shared how he takes advantage of his authoritative figure in the house and spoils his grandchildren, Navya Naveli Nanda, Agastya Nanda and Aaradhya Bachchan. Big B had said, “I’ve loved all of them. When I want to spoil my grandkids, I am so authoritative that their parents dare not oppose me. Aaradhya will still come and destroy my working desk, as she wants to use this pen and wants to write things and wants to play with the laptop. It brings immense joy and is a beautiful experience.” (Also Read: Amitabh Bachchan Retweets A Video Of His Granddaughter, Aaradhya Bachchan Singing A Devotional Song)
