Amitabh continued, "Bohut saare humne uske saath tests wagera kiya hai...koi bole ki ek powder hai isko daal dijiye, do minute mein marjayega. Humne socha ki isko ek baar trial karna chahiye iska (I've done a lot of tests with it...someone said there is a powder, sprinkle it on the cockroach, and it will die within two minutes. I thought this should be tried once)."

He continued, "Toh ek bottle mein humne pura woh jo powder aata hai na, insecticide wala powder, usko bhara, thoda upar chod diya. Dhakkan khol ke bohut hi mushkil se ek cockroach ko pakda. Pakad ke humne usko us bottle k andar daal diya aur dhakkan bandh kardiya. Humne kaha, 'Maro saale' (So, in a bottle, I put insecticide powder, filled it and left some space on top. After opening the mouth of the bottle, I caught a cockroach with much difficulty. Then I put it in the bottle and closed its mouth. I said, 'Die now')." 

The video was shared with the caption, "AB ne bataya apne cockroach ko pakadne ka style (AB shared his style of catching cockroach)."

Amitabh has been hosting KBC since its inaugural season in 2000, except for the third chapter in 2007, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan.
