Veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is currently busy hosting the quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati season 15. It is the grand finale week of the show, and the audiences are eagerly waiting to know the fate of the recent contestant. Throughout the years, the actor has not made meaningful connections with the contestants of the shows but he has also revisited many precious moments from his life. In the latest episode of KBC 15, he welcomed contestant Avinash Bharti, who is not only studying in college but also staying in the same hostel room he did years ago.
It all happened when an IAS aspirant Avinash Bharti was quick to answer the fastest finger round question and was welcomed by the veteran on the seat. After an emotional and overwhelming moment with the host, the contest takes his seat. It is then that Bachchan notices the empty companion seat and asks the contestant about it. He explains how he didn’t bring anyone. Bharti shares that he is one of the lucky ones who got the opportunity to study outside his village and that he promised his mother that he would return only after becoming an IAS officer or winning the reality show.
