Kartik and Vidya took to their social media handles on Monday evening and shared a picture of him posing with Amitabh and Vidya as the three struck the signature Bhool Bhulaiyaa pose.

Also, interestingly, KBC allowed a reunion for Vidya and Amitabh as well, as she played his character's mother in R Balki's 2009 movie Paa.
