Megastar Amitabh Bachchan revealed that ‘Bachchan’ was originally his father and renowned poet Harivansh Rai’s pen name. It eventually became his identity, so for his son’s school admission, he chose the surname ‘Bachchan’. The actor said, “My father never wanted to be in the ropes of caste. His surname ‘Bachchan’ was his ‘kavi naam’ or pen name. During my school admission, the teacher asked my parents what my surname was to be. It is then that my father on the spot decided that my surname would be, ‘Bachchan’. I became the first example of being a, ‘Bachchan’.”

Big B, who is currently seen hosting the quiz-based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 14’ was quite impressed with Ruchi’s perspective on the show about surnames. Hailing from Gurugram when KBC 14 contestant was asked by the host the reason for not having a surname. She replied: “My full name is Ruchi. I feel that a surname puts you in a caste bracket. I feel your first name is self-sufficient, it is your individual identity. And like me, my husband too has his own identity. Since childhood, I have only been addressed as Ruchi and here, on the platform of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati,’ I am only Ruchi.”
