“I Had No Idea ‘Jalsa’ Would Be My Home” – Amitabh Bachchan Reflects on His Transformation from Struggle to Success on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16

In tonight’s episode of Amitabh Bachchan hosted ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’ on Sony Entertainment Television, viewers will meet Nishant Jaiswal from Chhattisgarh, an artisan dedicated to the intricate craft of silk-making from cocoons and also an aspiring IPS officer. He shares his dreams of serving the nation and his journey of resilience and determination. Adding a personal touch, Mr. Bachchan reminisces about his own struggles in finding work during his early days, drawing a heartfelt connection with Nishant’s ambition and hard work. This interaction promises to inspire audiences, showcasing yet another incredible story of grit and aspiration.

During the game, Nishant shared a touching story about how he reached the ground auditions of KBC many times but never got selected and how one day, he went about walking with his small bag from the Vile Parle station to Amitabh Bachchan’s house with a wish to come on the hotseat. He revealed that he stood outside Big B’s home and silently said to himself, “This time, please make sure to call me on KBC.” Moved by this, Mr. Bachchan fondly recalled his own early struggles, saying, “! I also learned the roads by walking. It’s not like I’ve only travelled by car. You at least had a bag; I didn’t even have that. When I used to go job-hunting, I would also get off at the station and walk everywhere on foot. So I know where everything is and how to get there.”

Reflecting on life’s unexpected turns, he added with a smile, “I never imagined this house (Jalsa) would one day be mine!” This candid moment beautifully highlighted the shared journeys of perseverance and dreams, leaving the audience deeply inspired.
