Tennis legend Leander Paes and ace gymnast Dipa Karmakar are the latest guests on Amitabh Bachchan-hosted TV show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati's 12th episode. Dressed in ethnic wear, they rang in the Diwali fever with Big B on the upcoming Karamveer special episode of KBC.

The duo took the special guests down the memory lane, getting them to recount the experience of their maiden victory, their achievements, their challenges and their milestones.

Senior Bachchan asked Karmakar if she remembered Paes winning a bronze medal at the Atlanta Olympics 1996. Prompt came the response, "Sir, I was 3 years old". Soon Paes replied, "Sir, today she made me feel really old!"

The episode will also witness a fun rapid-fire round which would see Big B getting Paes and Karmakar to open up about their favourite sports personality, their cheat day meals, toughest opponents, toughest part about training and more. When Karmakar was asked about her favourite Bollywood personality, she first said, "Hrithik Roshan", and quickly added "Aap toh ho hi." Paes maintained it has forever been "Amitabh Bachchan."

The stars also had a few words of wisdom to share. "To become a champion, you have to take extra effort or else you just remain a player," Paes shared in true sportsman style.

Even Karmakar spoke about how acing the Produnova Vault, also known as death vault, has been the most prized moment for her. She explained that when she had asked her coach about how she could increase her chances to win a medal, she was told the Produnova Vault could be the key, but that it was dangerous.

"I did not hear dangerous. Mujhe sirf medal jeetna hai," reveals Karmakar, sharing how having the right focus in life always helps people sail through.
