When Saif Ali Khan strutted onto the KBC set in late September, the buzz was all about his new film Haiwaan. Host Amitabh Bachchan, ever the showman, turned the 10th question into a culinary jackpot: a two‑year supply of ghee. Saif, eyes wide, laughed and said, “What are we talking about? I’m not a butter fan, I’m a butter connoisseur.”
The clip hit the internet like a butter‑spoon splash. Fans dubbed him a “Gen Z born in the wrong era,” and the ghee joke became a meme that even made the actor’s Instagram debut a talking point. He posted a photo of a ghee jar, captioned “Just joined Instagram for the ghee.”
Fast forward to Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, where Kapil Sharma poked fun at Saif’s ghee saga. Kareena Kapoor, playing her husband’s best friend, clapped and teased, “You still waiting on that butter?” Saif, never one to miss a beat, quipped, “I haven’t even received the cheque yet.”
So why the delay? Sources on the set say the show’s production schedule left the prize pending, and the cheque has been stuck in a bureaucratic loop. Saif’s humorous tone keeps the meme alive, but the real story is a reminder that even the biggest stars can’t wrangle a pantry when the paperwork gets tangled.
While the ghee drama simmering, audiences can still look forward to Haiwaan hitting the screens in November. The film promises a blend of action and romance, with Saif’s trademark swagger. For now, the only thing more elusive than the ghee is the crypto‑priced popcorn that fans keep debating.
