Bachchan Opens Up About Early Struggles, Inspires Contestant's Dream
Mumbai: In a touching episode of "Kaun Banega Crorepati 16", host Amitabh Bachchan shared personal anecdotes about his early days, inspiring contestant Nishant Jaiswal from Chhattisgarh to pursue his dreams.
During the game show's recent telecast, Bachchan humorously recounted the times he walked everywhere without a bag or car, recalling how he had only a small suitcase when job-hunting for work. He also reminisced about how his life's circumstances made him walk almost everywhere, giving him hands-on experience of navigating Mumbai.
The legendary actor recalled his own early days in the industry and shared that no single milestone is predetermined. "I never imagined this house (Jalsa) would become mine," he said with nostalgia.
Bachchan was visibly touched by Nishant's heartfelt story about facing rejection multiple times at KBC auditions, until one day walking outside Jalsee home with a dream bag of the show and a prayer for being selected. Nishi revealed his dreams to Big B from Chhattisgarh on how far and hard he got in attempting auditions for KBC but ultimately remained unsuccessful.
Nishant shared that Bachchan's inspiration resonated deeply, as the seasoned IPS aspirant had been working tirelessly to pursue his nation-serving objectives while never losing hope. The contestant was encouraged by Big B’s humility in revealing his unrelenting struggles earlier in life while trying to land a job in the entertainment sector.
Amitabh Bachchan also shared an episode from his life where he met someone who ended up being his brother-in-law, adding personal charm and depth to sharing his humble beginnings on the stage. This gave Nishi immense motivation and strengthened his resolve.
Abhishek Bachchan had recently joined his dad in promoting his recent movie "I Want To Talk". With a renewed air of kindness towards an aspiring fan, Amitabh expressed gratitude for being part of this great journey to inspire Nishant's aspirations through the television show.
