Mumbai, March 13 (ANI): In a candid episode of "Kaun Banega Crorepati 16", host Amitabh Bachchan shared his unfiltered account of the arduous journey to stardom. The 77-year-old actor reminisced about walking long distances on foot and facing rejections in job interviews, leaving viewers touched by his humility.

Bachchan mentioned that he had learned many roads while walking from Vile Parle station to Jalsa, his former home. "It's not like I've only travelled by car," Big B said, highlighting the struggles he faced. "When I used to go job-hunting, I would get off at the station and walk everywhere on foot."

The Bollywood legend recounted how hard work propelled him towards success. He expressed surprise that one of the KBC contestants, Nishant Jaiswal from Chhattisgarh, echoed his own experiences of unwavering dedication.
