KBC 16: Amitabh Bachchan opens up about job struggles after finishing college ‘malum nahi tha ke kya hoga’

In the most recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, the show host Amitabh Bachchan embarked on a journey through his past reminiscing about his formative years post education and expressing how lost he was when it came to finding employment.

The show showcased a returning contestant Abhishek Sandhu, an Employment Officer working for the Haryana Government who brought a vibrant atmosphere to the episode. His delightful exchange with Amitabh Bachchan especially regarding his romantic life and upcoming marriage intentions added a touch of humour to the storyline.

Abhishek, faced with the tough Rs 80,000 question made the call for help through the 'Video Call A Friend' lifeline. The question inquired about the number of renowned Indian painters among Zubin Mehta, S.H. Raza, Manjit Bawa and Jamini Roy. With confidence he selected Option C) Only 3 and his choice proved to be spot on.

In the show Amitabh Bachchan inquired about Abhisheks educational history and he shared that he had earned a degree in Engineering but was facing challenges in job hunting. Abhishek joked, “Sir, where do engineers even find jobs nowadays?” Big B, with his trademark wit, responded, "Jab maalum tha nahi milti naukri toh kahe padhe aap usko (When you knew there were no jobs, why did you study it in the first place?).”

Bachchan shared his experiences, reflecting on the challenges he faced after completing his Bachelor of Science degree. With a touch of humor he confessed that he too was uncertain about his path following his education. “Humko bhi malum nahi tha ke kya hoga. BSC leliya aur uske baad na malum tha na kuch hua (Even I didn’t know what would happen. I did BSc, and after that, neither did I know anything, nor did anything happen),” he recalled, much to the laughter of the audience.

The moment in the episode came when Abhishek confronted the challenging question worth Rs 1,60,000 related to the Mahabharata. The query posed was "Kampilya served as the capital of which of these kings?" Unsure about the response Abhishek decided to bow out of the game pocketing Rs 80,000. Prior to his departure he took a shot at guessing and picked Option B) Drupada only to find out later that it was indeed the right choice.

In this thrilling season of Kaun Banega Crorepati viewers are treated to a blend of humour nostalgia and suspense as Amitabh Bachchan imparts his life experiences and insights while contestants vie for a chance to clinch a substantial prize.
