Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary figure in Indian cinema, recently experienced a heartwarming moment of nostalgia on the set of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 15' when a contestant shared a unique connection with him—a shared hostel room from their Kirori Mal College days.
During the show, Amitabh welcomed Avinash Bharti, a contestant from Haiderganj, Uttar Pradesh, to the hot seat. Avinash revealed his connection to the same college hostel room where Amitabh had once stayed, sparking a flood of memories for the megastar.
Expressing his delight, Amitabh mentioned that the show's creators had captured Avinash's story in a video. In this video, Avinash emotionally shared his journey, expressing his aspirations to crack the UPSC exams and make his family proud.
Amitabh praised Avinash's determination and sincerity towards his goals, commending the emotions he conveyed. He also reminisced about his time at Kirori Mal College, where he completed his BSc degree.
In a delightful revelation, Avinash disclosed that he had been residing in the same room (room no. 27) where Amitabh had stayed during his college years. Amitabh chuckled, recalling shared memories of the room, mentioning how they used to sneak across the wall to watch movies.
Playfully reflecting on his college days, Amitabh humorously remarked that despite spending years studying there, he felt he hadn't gained much, jesting that his BSc degree hadn't proven useful in his current endeavors in the film industry, leaving the audience in laughter.
Avinash, acknowledging Amitabh's iconic status, referred to him as a 'mahanayak' (great hero) of the era, to which Amitabh humbly responded, downplaying the title as something attributed by journalists, expressing his disbelief in such accolades.
