In the episode 84 of the quiz-based reality show, host Big B welcomed Vishwas Tulshiram Dake from Mhalis Pimpalgaon District Beed, Maharashtra to the hot seat. He is a farmer.
After winning Rs 3,20,000, the actor took out his pen and signed the cheque for the contestant. While, signing the cheque, Big B touched the nib of the pen on his tongue to make it work better.
Seeing this, the contestant curiously asked the actor: “Why did you do that to the pen? I had the habit too. When the pen won’t work at school.”
Amitabh said: “I have the same habit.”
The ‘Sholay’ actor said: “Do you think it can be yours only?”
The contestant couldn’t control his happiness and said: “Then that’s a shared habit.”
Big B went on to say: “There is no difference between the two of us.”
To this the contestant humbly replied: “No, sir. We’re poles apart. You’re great, sir.”
The ‘Don’ actor then narrated an anecdote: “During childhood, I didn’t have a pen. My dad used to earn around Rs 400-500 a month. We couldn’t afford a pen with it. So, that’s how we got educated.”
The contestant couldn’t believe this and said: “No, Sir. It’s not like that.”
Big B said: “What do you mean? I’m telling you. That’s how it was.”
Vishwas then asked the 81-year-old actor: “I’ve heard this about you. I don’t know if it’s true. When you approached All India Radio for a job, because of your voice you didn’t get a job there. And after that, you became the king of voice. Is this true?”
Replying to him in a candid manner, Big B said: “Your first statement is true. But the second statement is wrong.”
‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 15’ airs on Sony.
