Amitabh Bachchan Reacts To Contestants Missing Their Chance On KBC: ‘Emotionally Shattering'
Amitabh Bachchan regularly shares daily updates with his fans through posts on his personal blog. The Bollywood megastar, who is currently hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) season 17, recently shared how it is emotionally tough to see some of the Fastest Finger First contestants leave empty-handed after a week of hoping to secure a spot on the hot seat. He said that it is hard to control the frustration of defeat and lost opportunity- not just for the contestants, but for him as well. He said that watching the contestants leave without getting a chance to play affects him too, and is 'deeply shattering'.
In his recent blog post, Big B wrote, 'we sit on the hot seat and meet and confront the contestants that have ambitious hopes of winning during the week of their stay on the floor ..and when they cannot make it , it's the hardest to control the frustration of defeat and lost opportunity .. for them yes , but for me as well ..it is emotionally shattering to their tears swell up as they find the week over , the Hooter played and the need to come and play , for whatever personal reasons , goes missing .."
He further added that no amount of consolation seem enough in those moments. ' no amount of consolation at the time can give them solace and understanding .. the need for some is crucial , the opportunity for some who have sacrificed their study or job opportunities to be at the FF and then the main chair to play and WIN, lost ..difficult to face such moments ..but what can be done .. a smile of 'try again' .. a word of encouragement that all shall be fine .. loss is not the end of life .. its a learning and adheres to : मन का हो तो अच्छा; ना हो तो ज़्यादा अच्छा."
Amitabh Bachchan further continued, 'but as they say the show goes on ..you come away thinking of not the winner and his expertise and knowledge , but the one that tried and lost ..life is a tough job .."
Kaun Banega Crorepati returned with season 17 a few days ago. Amitabh Bachchan will be seen welcoming Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of the Indian Army, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force and Commander Prerna Deosthalee of the Indian Navy, during the Independence Day special episode of KBC, which is set to air on August 15.

Sophie Turner Spills How Famous Actress Dumped Fiancé After She Waved At Him: 'I Had No Idea'
Last Updated: Sophie Turner recalled a Comic-Con party where a famous actress accused her of flirting with her fiancé, leading to a dramatic breakup that night. Sophie Turner has made a surprising revelation about a wild night from her early Game of Thrones days. During her guest appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on August 14, the 29-year-old actress shared a story that left audiences stunned. According to Sophie, over a decade ago she was attending San Diego Comic-Con with her co-star Maisie Williams when an unexpected moment changed the course of the night. 'That night was actually quite crazy for me, it went really south really quick," Sophie admitted. She explained that she was with her childhood best friend, who spotted an actor she admired. Wanting to help, Sophie simply waved hello to the man — not realising what was about to unfold. Accusation From a Famous Actress Later that evening, Sophie recalled being confronted by a well-known actress. 'She's a famous actress, and I was like, 'I have to go and tell her how much she means to me,'" Sophie shared. But instead of a friendly exchange, she was shocked when the woman accused her of stepping out of line. According to Sophie, the actress told her directly: 'Can you stop f—— flirting with my fiancé?" The X-Men star said she was left baffled, responding, 'Who's your fiancé?" The actress then pointed to the man Sophie had casually waved at earlier. 'I have no idea who this man is," Sophie stressed. What's more shocking is that the engaged couple reportedly called off their relationship that very night. 'Turns out, I think they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]," Sophie laughed, joking about the unintended fallout. While Sophie may have inadvertently ended someone else's engagement, she also experienced her own whirlwind romance. She began dating singer Joe Jonas in 2016 after connecting on Instagram. The pair got engaged in 2017 and married in two ceremonies in 2019 — a spontaneous Las Vegas wedding followed by a grand celebration in France. They share two daughters, Willa and Delphine. Sadly, their marriage ended in 2023 when Joe Jonas filed for divorce, citing that their relationship was 'irretrievably broken." Despite the split, Sophie and Joe are now on good terms and focused on co-parenting their children. Sophie has since moved on and is currently dating British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. Even though Sophie's personal life has gone through ups and downs, her candid Comic-Con confession proves she still knows how to deliver a story that gets everyone talking.

After Mrunal Thakur, Kareena Kapoor Faces Backlash For 'Mean' Remarks On Hrithik, Salman
Kareena Kapoor faces trolling after old interviews resurface, where she allegedly threw shade at Sridevi, Salman Khan and others. Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is facing social media backlash after old interviews resurfaced online, portraying her as outspoken and allegedly throwing shade at fellow actors. The controversies follow a similar incident involving actress Mrunal Thakur, whose past comments about Bipasha Basu went viral recently, forcing her to issue an apology. The viral Reddit thread shared snippets of Kareena's past remarks, labeling her as a 'mean girl" and drawing criticism from netizens. In one old interview, Kareena reportedly criticised filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, calling him a 'confused director" with no morals or principles after losing the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Devdas to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. In other interviews, Kareena questioned the historical box-office success of Sridevi and commented on Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), Hrithik Roshan's debut film. She claimed that filmmaker Rakesh Roshan prioritised his son over co-star Ameesha Patel, pointing out the latter's skin imperfections. Kareena had originally been considered for the film but eventually walked out. The actress also reportedly called Salman Khan a 'bad actor" and made a controversial remark that 'being fat is not sexy." These statements have resurfaced on social media, drawing a flurry of reactions from netizens. Netizens React With Memes And Trolling Social media users have been quick to troll Kareena Kapoor for her unfiltered remarks. One user called her 'Pooh in real life," while another added, 'Her fans pass her mean behaviour as 'sassy' and call her real-life 'Poo' as if it's an achievement." Others noted that while Kareena's comments were unfiltered and bold, celebrities today are scrutinised much more heavily on social media. Some internet users appreciated the honesty in her interviews, saying she gave magazine readers 'their money's worth," while others criticised her for lacking diplomacy and respect for co-stars. Many comments expressed that her outspoken nature was iconic for its time but questioned the impact of her words on her public image today. Despite the trolling, Kareena Kapoor remains one of Bollywood's most influential and iconic stars, known for her confidence, style, and career spanning over two decades. The resurfacing of these old clips shows the fine line celebrities walk between candid interviews and public perception in the age of social media.

Prof. Charu Kapoor, class of '91, serving up Bollywood classics – with Amit Dhanda, class of '97, strumming away on the guitar Time blurred as St Stephen's alumni from different decades came together for a nostalgic lunch in Delhi recently. From meeting old friends to connecting with seniors, the afternoon was filled with meaningful conversations, music, and dance. Talking about how she never felt the need to go out during college, Arjuna award-winning cricketer Anjum Chopra recalled the popular Kamla Nagar as 'KNags' and said, "Bahar jaane ki zarurat hi nahi hai – college aa gaye toh bahar jaana hi kyun hai? College itself is an event."

Siddharth Singh Longjam, Additional Secretary and Financial Advisor in the Ministry of Defence, class of 1990, recalled his initial days. "When you sit in the cafe, you tend to overhear, or you are sitting and quietly listening to a lot of colleagues who are experts in speaking. That kind of learning experience is equivalent to reading hundreds of books every day," he shared. Dedicating his success to the college, economist Prasenjit Basu from the class of 1986, said, "You get to widen your intellectual horizons in college to an extent that is almost impossible to replicate anywhere else." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They were so beautiful before; look at them now; number 10 will shock you Boite A Scoop Undo This is a very special institution that shapes people's character Anjum Chopra, class of '97 Actor Abhinav Chaturvedi (L), class of '87, with economist Prasenjit Basu, (C) class of '86; Arjuna awardee, cricketer Anjum Chopra (R), class of '97 'The proud feeling of being a Stephanian always remains' Whether you graduated in the 70s or are a current Stephenian, you know it's cafe and not a canteen, residence and not a hostel.
