Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Amitabh Bachchan recalls how he would gatecrash weddings during his college days; says 'hum dhoondhte the kahin shaadi toh nahi horaha, phir khaa peeke aaramse bahar aate the'
The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 starts with host Amitabh Bachchan welcoming the audience. He resumes the game with rollover contestant Shruti Jain from Mumbai, Maharashtra. He teases her that since she has not invited him to her wedding, he won't come. Later, Big B asks her about how she plans to tie the knot and Shruti reveals that she is going to opt for court marriage because she doesn't want to spend money on wedding. She says, "Mujhe apni wedding nahi marriage acchi chahiye." Mr. Bachchan gets impressed after knowing about her thoughts and calls her sorted. He says, "I have learnt a new term these days, 'she is very sorted." The megastar then recalls his college days and shared a hilarious anecdote about gatecrashing weddings. He says, "Hum jab college mein the toh rupaya paisa toh hota nahi tha humare paas, shayad 2 rupaya pocket money milta tha.. toh jab bhook lage shaam ko toh samajh mein nahi aata tha kya karen? Toh hum log dhoondhte the ke kahin shaadi byaah toh nahi horaha... hum log aise jaate the jaise baarati jaa rahe ho andar. Toh darban humko poochta tha, toh hum peeche aarahe hain aise bol ke aage chale jaate tha. ..(laughs). Khaa peeke aaramse bahar aajate the. Agar aap court marriage karengi toh hum jaison ka kya hoga..." (Back then, we hardly had any money, maybe just ₹2 as pocket money. So, whenever we felt hungry in the evenings, we would look around to see if any wedding was happening nearby. We would sneak in pretending to be part of the baraat. If the gatekeeper stopped us, we'd say we were coming from behind and walk right in,' he shared with a laugh. 'We would eat to our heart's content and walk out happily. That's why I say, if you go for a court marriage, what will happen to people like us?') His hilarious anecdote left the audience in splits. Shruti admitted feeling extremely nervous, adding that it still hasn't sunk in for her that she is sitting on the hot seat, playing the game of Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B starts the game and reads the question for Rs 3,00,000. Which saltwater lagoon, located along the Coromandel Coast, is shared between Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu? As Shruti is not aware of the answer, she uses her lifeline 'Audience Poll' and selects Option D) Pulicat Lake. Shruti next faces the question for Rs 5,00,000 and she again uses a lifeline. She uses her last lifeline 'Sanket Suchak'. The flag of which ofthese countries features a seven-pointed Commonwealth Star, symbolising its six states and its territories? Even after getting the hint, Shruti is not able to guess the answer and she decides to quit the game. After quitting the game, Big B asks her to take a guess and she selects Option C) New Zealand. The correct answer is Option B) Australia. Shruti takes home Rs 3,00,000. Amitabh Bachchan Breaks Silence on His 'Changed' Look in KBC 17 | Here's What He Says
