In Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan remembered an earlier episode in which he and Ratan Tata shared a flight to London. He explained that when they arrived at Heathrow Airport, the individuals who had gone to pick up Ratan Tata had left. So he walked to the phone booth and called.

After a while, he returned and asked Amitabh Bachchan if he could borrow money from him because he did not have enough money to make a call. Recalling this, Amitabh Bachchan stated, "Kya aadmi the woh main bata nahi sakta. Such a simple human being." 

Ratan Tata and Amitabh Bachchan have had an excellent relationship since the film Aetbaar. Ratan Tata produced the film. However, the film flopped at the box office.
