A contestant on Amitabh Bachchan's show Kaun Banega Crorepati just shared a wild story about putting his life on hold for the program. Mitkumar Thakrar told Big B he has been trying to get into the hot seat for a full twenty-five years. He was so committed that he turned down a marriage proposal back then, telling the woman he needed to be on KBC before he could ever be a groom. Bachchan, amused, asked if she had been waiting all this time, too. Thakrar replied that she got married to someone else a long time ago, making the host and studio audience crack up.
The show's long cultural impact came up again with guest Ananya Panday. She was there promoting her new film Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which is scheduled for a Christmas release. Panday said her family has been hooked on KBC since it started, with a standing ritual to watch together when her grandparents visit from Delhi. She watches it alone when they are not there. She mentioned it was a family dream for someone to finally get on the quiz show, and she was the lucky first one to make it.
