KBC contestant Surabhi Geetey claims Mr Amitabh Bachchan to be her best friend!

#Bhopal’s #SurabhiGeetey claims Mr #AmitabhBachchan to be her best friend surprising the host with a sweet memory on #SonyTV ‘s ‘#KaunBanegaCrorepatiSeason14’.

27-year-old Surabhi Geetey, Product Manager at an online shopping website, would be taking her place on the hotseat on Sony Entertainment Television’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14’ on 19th October, Wednesday. Seated opposite Mr Amitabh Bachchan, she would be revealing that she is his friend of many years, surprising the host when she would show her proof of their friendship.

Showing a picture from 2001, Surabhi would be sharing with the host memories of ‘KBC Juniors’ when her sister had taken part in the show and she had come as a companion. That time, Mr Bachchan had told her that they are best friends and also, hilariously, to find out who stole her front two teeth which were missing. This sweet trip down memory lane would greatly entertain the audience and make the host overwhelmed.

The contestant would also call herself to be a self-professed fan of Agatha Christie, invoking a story from Mr Bachchan when he was part of a school play that was the staging of ‘And Then There Were None. Unfortunately on D-day, he fell sick with measles and his father catered to him in the hospital, sitting beside him and consoling him. A word of advice that Big B would say still rings true for him today is “mann ka ho toh acha, na ho toh aur bhi acha” which can be translated to “if what happens is according to how you wanted it, good but if it does not, still good”, meaning if something happens which you do not agree to, then that is what was always anyway supposed to happen.

Surabhi would also talk about her love for podcasts and how they accompany her during her travel. She would be talking about Big B’s granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast ‘What The Hell Navya’ and how she enjoys the episodes. Following this, she herself would turn into a podcast interviewer, taking on Mr Bachchan as her interviewee and asking him questions about different subjects like mental health and work-life balance.

Talking about her experience in the show she says, “I cannot still fathom the fact that I was a part of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14’. I felt like my dreams came true the moment I sat on the hotseat. It was such an overwhelming experience and I will always remember the moments to be some of my most cherished. Sitting opposite Mr Bachchan was an ecstatic moment. The honour was mine that I was able to interview him on matters so close to the hearts of the youth and that he gave such sincere answers was the highlight. If he comes to Bhopal I will definitely take him to some of the most famous eateries in the city and have him experience delicacies like daal baafla and samosa kachodi. I will also follow Mr Bachchan’s advice and try Ashok Vada Pav’s and Gajanan Vada Pav’s vada pav.”

Tune in to watch Surabhi Geetey on the hotseat on 19th October on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati-Season 14’ at 9 pm, on Sony Entertainment Television.
