His conversations with the contestants majorly make it to the headlines. Amitabh Bachchan is among the most candid hosts who even shares anecdotes from his life leaving all the fans and audiences' interested. But in a recent episode, Amitabh Bachchan schooled a contestant who made a comment on 'unmarried woman'.
On Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, a contestant named Krishna Selukar shared his life story and how Coronavirus affected him. He shared that he is an engineer, however, despite having a degree, he lost his job during coronavirus and then struggled to find one. He then compared his situation to an unmarried woman calling her a 'burden'. The contestant was quoted saying, "Agar mei kahu bina shadi ki ladki gharwalo par bojh hoti hai na sir, ek umar hone ke baad berozgar ladke utna hi bojh hote hai (If I say that an unmarried lady is a burden to her family, then after an age, an unemployed man is also a burden)." However, Amitabh Bachchan interrupted him and schooled him saying that he is giving a wrong comparison. Big B shared that an unmarried woman can never be a burden on the family. Big B said, "Ek baat batye aapko. Ladki joh hai bojh kabhi nai ban sakti. Bahut badi shaan hoti hai mahila. (Can I tell you one thing? A woman can never be a burden on the family. She is always an honour)." This surely deserves a thunderous applause.
