In the new episode of Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, viewers will be introduced to Pavitra Lal from West Bengal. Pavitra, who works at a diagnostic centre, shares his heartfelt story on the show, revealing his urgent need for money. The superstar will also be seen explaining why he is fond of Sourav Ganguly.

Pavitra Lal talks about his financial struggles

Amitabh Bachchan inquires of Pavitra Lal, “I extend my best wishes to you; however, have you considered what your plans would be if you were to receive the funds?” In response, Pavitra emphasizes his inability to marry due to financial difficulties, stating, “I require 25 to 30 lakh. I have an outstanding loan, and my father has passed away. The condition of our house is deteriorating, which presents various challenges and requires repairs. Additionally, my mother frequently suffers from health issues, leading to medical expenses. I am also unmarried, and my modest salary contributes to the reluctance of families to consider me as a suitable match for their daughters.”

Amitabh Bachchan hails Sourav Ganguly's leadership skills

During the segment in which audience members pose their inquiries, Amitabh Bachchan expresses his admiration for Sourav Ganguly. He states, “I hold a great fondness for Sourav Ganguly. It is widely acknowledged that when he assumed the role of captain, the team exhibited a remarkable surge of energy. I vividly recall the moment he played overseas; following their victory, he removed his shirt and waved it triumphantly, signalling, ‘We are India.’ This sentiment is evident during commentary as well, where players from opposing teams often commend their own. In contrast, Sourav Da maintains a neutral stance and, on occasion, even admonishes them. His strength is truly commendable.”

In 2024, Amitabh Bachchan captivated audiences with his portrayal of Ashwatthama in the film Kalki 2898 AD. This production, featuring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, achieved remarkable success at the box office, grossing over ₹1000 crore globally. In his most recent release, Vettaiyan, Amitabh Bachchan shared the screen once again with Rajinikanth. However, this film did not live up to audience expectations and received mixed reviews upon its release.
