Mumbai, Aug 15 (NationPress) Megastar Amitabh Bachchan expressed the profound emotional toll he experiences when witnessing contestants' losses on his quiz show, “Kaun Banega Crorepati.”
“When we sit on the hot seat, we engage with contestants who harbor ambitious dreams of winning during their week here. The moment they fall short, it becomes incredibly challenging to manage the disappointment of lost chances,” he reflected.
“It’s equally heartbreaking for me to see their tears as they realize their time is up, and the moment to play, often driven by personal motivations, slips away,” he shared.
Bachchan acknowledged that while he attempts to offer comfort, the reality of losing a potentially life-altering opportunity is devastating.
“No amount of consolation can truly ease their pain at that moment. For some, this experience is vital, especially for those who have sacrificed education or job opportunities to reach this point. Facing such moments is tough,” he added.
“But what can we do? A simple smile suggesting 'try again' or a word of encouragement can help. Loss does not signify the end; it serves as a lesson, reminding us: if it’s meant to be, it’s great; if not, it’s even better,” he stated.
“However, not everyone subscribes to this philosophy, which is truly heartbreaking. Yet, as they say, the show must continue. We often leave contemplating not the winner's knowledge but the one who attempted and fell short. Life is a challenging journey,” he concluded.
“Kaun Banega Crorepati” is the official Hindi adaptation of the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” franchise. Amitabh Bachchan has hosted the show throughout its history, except for its third season, where Shah Rukh Khan took over.
