During the episode, Amitabh had a lively exchange with a contestant named Alolika, a Bengali. After reaching a certain milestone in the game, Alolika expressed her desire to withdraw, which surprised Bachchan since it was unusual for contestants to step down after achieving such success.Alolika cleverly responded, “I feel all the contestants who get to sit here in front of you are crorepatis. You are one in crores, so all of them are crorepatis.”

This witty remark left Bachchan speechless, and he appreciated Alolika’s cleverness. Drawing from his personal experiences, Bachchan humorously advised against arguing with Bengalis. He shared how he often finds himself outmatched in arguments with his wife, Jaya Bachchan, who always has a quick and unexpected retort. He said, “I would like to tell you something from my personal experience. One should never argue with Bengalis. I know how things are at my home. You can’t win an argument with them; they always have a swift response that turns the tables on you.”
In a previous episode, Amitabh Bachchan reminisced about his traditional Bengali wedding, recalling how he initially refused to wear the customary headgear, topor, because he found it amusing and uncomfortable. He later apologized to Jaya’s family for his reluctance.
On the work front, he is currently enjoying the success of his latest film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ with Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, and Disha Patani.
