14th October 2023,Mumbai: The Evergreen Show and Amitabh Bachchan’s Charm
Kaun Banega Crorepati, a beloved Indian quiz show, has always been a hit with audiences, thanks in part to the charismatic host, Amitabh Bachchan. In a recent episode, the show’s magic continued as Rachana Rustagi from New Delhi, a homemaker, won the fastest finger round and took the hot seat, sharing a heartwarming and humorous interaction with Big B.
An Unconventional Start: Rachana Rustagi’s Story
As the episode began, Rachana Rustagi took the center stage. However, it wasn’t just her trivia skills that made her stand out. In a candid conversation with Amitabh Bachchan, Rachana opened up about her marital woes. She revealed that her husband had come on the show for free, as KBC covered all the expenses. In a humorous yet touching moment, she accused her husband of being a miser who never takes her out.
Amitabh Bachchan, the Unexpected Marriage Counselor
Amitabh Bachchan, known for his wit and wisdom, calmly listened to Rachana’s problems and responded with a twinkle in his eye. He humorously suggested to the channel that they should change his title from show host to marriage counselor, considering the amount of domestic issues he encounters. It was a testament to his relatable and down-to-earth persona that resonates with viewers of all ages.
Big B’s Advice to Rachana’s Husband
Amitabh Bachchan didn’t stop at the jest. He engaged with Rachana’s husband, Ravi, and advised him to start spending more on his wife. Ravi defended himself by mentioning that he had taken Rachana on a Europe trip, but she quickly clarified that it was sponsored by a bank, emphasizing her husband’s reluctance to spend on her. Big B, with his signature charm, shared some unique tips with Ravi on how to impress his wife.
The Art of Winning Her Heart: Amitabh’s Advice to Ravi
Amitabh Bachchan’s advice to Ravi was simple yet effective. He recommended that Ravi take a card with “I love you” written on it, adorned with a heart and an arrow, and a picture of a rose. The host suggested that Ravi open the card, write the date (tomorrow’s date), and leave a heartfelt message. The message read, “Hello darling, I want to take you to Europe at my own expense. Whatever you want to buy, I will pay for it, not you. Thank you so much, all my love… Ravi.” This heartwarming gesture was met with smiles and applause from the audience, highlighting the importance of small gestures in maintaining a happy marriage.
Rachana’s Emotional Decision
As the game progressed, Rachana reached a pivotal moment when she faced a question worth Rs. 3,20,000. Uncertain of the answer, she decided to quit the game. Despite the audience’s anticipation, Rachana chose to take home Rs. 1,60,000, prioritizing financial security over taking risks.
A Memorable Episode
The episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati featuring Rachana Rustagi was not just about winning money; it was a heartwarming demonstration of the show’s enduring popularity and Amitabh Bachchan’s ability to connect with contestants and viewers alike. His role as a quasi-marriage counselor, sprinkled with humor and genuine concern, added a unique touch to the episode. It reminded us that KBC is not just a quiz show; it’s a platform where people from diverse backgrounds can share their stories, and where even the legendary Amitabh Bachchan can wear a counselor’s hat. As the episode came to an end, it left the audience with a smile and a warm feeling, reinforcing why Kaun Banega Crorepati continues to be one of India’s favorite television shows.
