Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan has revealed on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 that he used to bunk not just classes but also school.
Sony Entertainment Television’s knowledge-based game show, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16’, brings an exciting twist to the format with ‘India Challenger Week’. This week, out of the 10 play-along contestants, the top two contestants from the Fastest Finger First round will compete in the ‘Jaldi 5 Buzzer Round’ to ensure their place on the hotseat.
The winner of this buzzer challenge will continue the game starting with the sixth question on the money tree. Joining this exciting lineup for India Challenger Week is Jaspal Singh from Punjab, a science lab assistant with a sharp mind and sharp reflexes.
During the show, a curious Jaspal asked Amitabh Bachchan, “You played the role of a principal in the film Mohabbatein, where you played a character who valued ‘tradition, prestige, discipline’. I am curious- if you were really the principal, would you be this strict? And, did you ever bunk classes?”
Amitabh Bachchan laughingly replied, “Where did you get the idea that I could become a principal? Padhai – Likhaai me uddur zero the hum… so I can never become a principal. But yes, the principal in my school was very strict. I used to bunk not only classes, but school as well!
Big-B said, “I was in a boarding school in Nainital, and we couldn’t go out of the campus. But at night, when everyone would sleep, I would sneak out. If I got caught, I would get punished.”
Jaspal adds, “In that movie, your students did the same, right?” Amitabh Bachchan nods, and says, “Yes, and when they got caught they got punished too!”
This week, India Challenger Week on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 will air at 9 pm, only on Sony Entertainment Television.
