Big B reveals: Harivansh Rai Bachchan named their house Pratiksha

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan goes down memory lane to share how his father and legendary poet and writer Harivansh Rai Bachchan named their house Pratiksha.

While interacting with a 21-year-old CA graduate Prakyath Shetty on the quiz based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 14’, Big B said: “This name was given by my father and there is a line in his father’s poem which says, ‘swagat sabke liye yahan par nehin kisike liye prateeksha” (all are welcome here but but there is no wait for anyone).

Later on, the contestant dedicated his cheque of winning amount to his mother, saying: “This amount is huge and till now I have only been doing internships. I had my company’s joining date this month but I asked them to push it since I was to come here and play.”

He remembered giving a watch to his mom with his first salary.

“The stipend I received from that internship, my first salary, I gifted my mother a watch and so today I dedicate this huge amount to my mother as well,” he said.

He further told the host that with the amount he is going to win on the show, he will keep it for his sister’s wedding and will pay back the loan his late father had taken for their house in Mumbai.

KBC Show: Big B signs contestant on hand not to confuse with twin brother

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan signed on the hand of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 14’ contestant Anurag Kumar to avoid any kind of confusion that his twin brother Anoop might take the hotseat.

On the quiz-based reality show, the 29-year-old real estate agent from Lucknow took the hotseat and his hilarious conversation with the host about his twin brother left everyone in splits.

In fact before going for a break in the show, Big B was apprehensive that Anoop will take the hotseat in place of his brother, so he got up and signed on the palm of Anurag.

“I am signing on your hand so that there is no confusion.”

Before beginning the game, Big B told Anurag and Anoop that they both looked so similar, and asked how they avoided any kind of confusion.

To this, Anoop, Anurag’s brother sitting in the audience replied: “Sir whoever calls our name, Anoop or Anurag, one turns to respond and do the required work. Their work is done, that is all that is required. No one bothers who the actual person is.”

Big B responded to Anoop: “I can ask you all the questions.” Later, their mother revealed how once she administered the same injection to Anoop twice because they both look so similar.”
