Amitabh Bachchan's personal touch
Mr. Bachchan adds a personal touch by remembering his own early job hunt difficulties, creating a genuine connection with Nishant's drive and perseverance. This conversation is sure to motivate viewers by highlighting another remarkable tale of determination and ambition.
During the game, Nishant shared a heartwarming story about his numerous unsuccessful attempts to get into the KBC ground auditions and his subsequent journey to Amitabh Bachchan's residence with a tiny bag, all in pursuit of his dream of being on the show's main stage. His confession included his secret prayer outside Big B's house: "This time, please make sure to call me on KBC."

In response, Mr. Bachchan stated that he also learned how to navigate the roads by walking, drawing a poignant parallel to his own early struggles.
