Saif Ali Khan Jokes He Is Still Waiting for KBC’s Ghee Prize and Cheque

Saif Ali Khan has turned his memorable reaction to a ghee prize on Kaun Banega Crorepati into another light-hearted moment, joking that he is yet to receive the promised supply or his cheque. The actor made the remark during an appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show alongside his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan.

The exchange revisited a moment from Saif’s September appearance on Amitabh Bachchan’s quiz show, where his enthusiasm over the possibility of winning two years’ worth of ghee caught viewers’ attention. This time, the actor joked about the reward still being pending, prompting laughter from the host and guests.

What Did Saif Ali Khan Say About His KBC Prize?

During the conversation on Kapil Sharma’s show, the host referred to a fan comment joking that Saif was so delighted about winning the ghee prize that he decided to join Instagram. Kareena joined in the teasing before Saif responded with a clarification of his own.

According to coverage of the episode, Saif said he had not received the ghee yet and added that his cheque had also not arrived. The remarks were delivered in a humorous exchange; they should not be taken as independently verified evidence of a dispute with the quiz show or its organisers.

The moment also brought Kareena and Saif’s easy banter into focus, with the couple sharing the stage during their joint appearance on the Netflix comedy programme.

Why Did Saif’s Ghee Reaction Become Memorable?

Saif appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati with Akshay Kumar to promote their film Haiwaan, directed by Priyadarshan. During the episode, Amitabh Bachchan explained that answering the tenth question correctly would earn the contestants a two-year supply of ghee.

Saif reacted with visible excitement to the prospect of the prize. His response became a widely circulated entertainment moment, with viewers joking about how enthusiastically he welcomed a household staple rather than a conventional luxury reward.

The follow-up on Kapil Sharma’s show gave the anecdote a second chapter. Instead of simply repeating the original reaction, Saif used the joke about the pending reward to play along with the attention it had attracted.

Saif and Kareena’s Appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show

The couple’s appearance offered a mix of personal anecdotes and humour. Their conversation included references to their household’s fondness for ghee, extending the running joke beyond the original quiz-show moment.

For Saif, the exchange also shows how a brief television interaction can take on a life of its own online. A small, spontaneous reaction became a recurring joke, and the actor was able to acknowledge it directly in another entertainment setting.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The appeal of this story lies in its simplicity: an everyday food item became the centre of a celebrity joke, and Saif himself returned to the subject rather than avoiding it. The moment works because it is relatable and self-aware, not because it establishes a serious complaint against Kaun Banega Crorepati.

The distinction matters. Saif’s on-screen remark is the confirmed newsworthy moment; whether the prize and cheque had actually been delivered by the time of the episode has not been independently established. Until the show’s organisers or the prize sponsor clarify the matter, the story is best understood as a humorous follow-up to a viral television appearance.

Sources & Verification

This report draws on published coverage of Saif’s appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show and NDTV’s earlier coverage of his KBC appearance. The claim about the pending prize is presented as Saif’s on-screen joke, not as an independently verified failure to deliver the reward.
