What did Aditya tell Amitabh Bachchan?
In the teaser, Aditya tells a funny story about Amitabh Bachchan about how he played a prank on his friends back in college. It sounds like it was a pretty hilarious moment, and said, ‘During my college days, I had told all my friends that I was selected for KBC, and I played this prank for an entire week, where I told them that the KBC team would come to shoot a video in a week, so everyone got ready. Someone got a new pair of pants made, and someone bought a new shirt. After a week, when they asked me why no one came, that’s when I told them I was joking.’
What did Aditya say?
Aditya further said, ‘This time, when I got a call from the show, no one believed me. When I showed them the message, that’s when they figured that this time it was true.’ To that, Big B responded, You just didn’t reach the show, you have also come very far in the game now.’
The promo then shows Aditya answering the Rs 1 crore question correctly and moving on to the last question of the season – the 16th question. Aditya says he’s willing to take the risk, and he’s gonna go for the Rs 7 crore jackpot. This makes him the first contestant of the year to get to that super big milestone.
