Big B remembers his cricketing days on KBC 14!

On Sony TV’s #KaunBanegaCrorepati14, PlayAlong Shukravaar contestant #SaurabhShekhar makes #AmitabhBachchan reminisce about his childhood days with tales of cricket. Sony Entertainment Television’s knowledge-based game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati – Season 14 has seen contestants from all walks of life grace the hotseat. This Friday for ‘#PlayAlongShukravaar’, the show will be welcoming the 37-year-old Deputy Manager of a textile company, Saurabh Shekhar.

The contestant will not only play a good game but will also engage in some entertaining conversations with the host, Mr Amitabh Bachchan. One such conversation would have the two of them travelling down memory lane with Shekhar talking about how his strict father would not allow him to play cricket and Mr Bachchan talking about how his mother would catch him listening to cricket commentary under covers.

Narrating the incident, Saurabh Shekhar shares, “I have been an ardent follower of cricket since childhood and was very fascinated by the game when I was a kid. When I used to live in the village with my family, my father thought that there is no scope for sports. Even so, I was mad about cricket! My father used to think that if he lets us siblings play, it would be like sparing the rod, we won’t study. There was also a time when we did not have a television set in our house and a match was on. My older brother would listen to the commentary on the transistor and, there were only a few overs left. In our excitement, we went to our neighbour’s house to watch tv and celebrated the last few overs that were left. No sooner than we left the house, our father woke up and then, all hell broke loose.

Mr Bachchan too followed Saurabh’s story with his own in which he spoke about his mother. Mr Bachchan will be seen talking about how he used to go under the covers in his bed and listen to the commentary on the transistor from there. And when his mother caught him, she questioned him and asked him to focus on his studies.

With more such fascinating stories, the Friday episode will be a ‘must-watch!’
