'KBC 12' October 5 Highlights: 25 lakh question that stumped Pradeep Kumar Sood, Amitabh Bachchan gets emotional
Pradeep also shared that his inability to participate in the show used to rage his mother and she used to ask why Amitabh Bachchan is not calling him but everyone else.
Television's one of the most popular shows Kaun Banega Crorepati hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan in its episode from Monday had contestant Pradeep Kumar Sood from Amritsar on the hot seat. While the self-confessed fitness freak and a foodie managed to answer quite a lot of questions, he struggled with the answer to the 13th question worth Rs 25 lakh.
The question was, "The point on Earth that’s farthest from land is named after which fictional character of Indian origin?"
The options were Robinson Crusoe, Captain Ahab, Captain Nemo, and Phileas Fogg and Sood was unable to give the right answer which was Captain Nemo.
Apart from this, there was a moment in the show which made Amitabh Bachchan emotional. Pradeep shared how his mother has been dreaming of seeing him sitting on the hot seat for the last 20 years. His mother filled several notebooks every year reading the newspaper so that Pradeep would be selected for KBC.
After listening to Pradeep's story, Amitabh said, " Whenever someone talks about mothers, I get emotional."
In addition to this, Pradeep also shared that his inability to participate in the show used to rage his mother and she used to ask why Amitabh Bachchan is not calling him but everyone else. On hearing this, Amitabh shared a laugh with the contestant and extended his congratulations to his mother as her dream came true in 2020.
Monday's episode was definitely a fan favourite as it beautifully captured how a mother's love can take a person to places he only dreamt of. For the uninitiated, Pradeep Kumar took home 12,50,000 rupees, all while defining mother-son relationships for the audience.
