Dr Samit Sen, the first contestant, in the last 22 years, from Andaman and Nicobar, makes it to KBC!

In the Diwali week of #SonyEntertainmentTelevision’s ‘knowledge-based’ gameshow, ‘#KaunBanegaCrorepatiSeason14,’ for the first time in 22 years, the show will be welcoming contestant #DrSamitSen from the beautiful islands of Andaman and Nicobar on 24th and 25th October. From the capital city Port Blair, 28-year-old Dr Samit Sen would be gracing the hotseat and professing his love for his hometown, the islands. The contestant who is a student has completed his MBBS and is now pursuing his master’s degree in microbiology from RML (Ram Manohar Lohia) Medical College, New Delhi. He would be playing the game smartly, using his intelligence to the fullest to compete and win greater amounts. Amidst the gameplay, Dr Samit would also be singing praises of Andaman and Nicobar, inspiring everyone’s imagination with his vivid descriptions of the scenic place.

Talking to Mr Bachchan, Samit would be revealing that in spite of the limited channels available on television in his hometown, viewers would still sincerely tune in to watch ‘KBC.’ He even describes one of his earliest childhood memories where he would walk down a neighbourhood lane and hear the thematic tune of the show ringing from houses. Further, into the show, he would also highlight tales of the natural beauty of the Union Territory and talk about three unique things that are a part of it, Sentinel Island, the active volcano which is India’s only active volcano and the 1943 point where freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose hoisted the first flag for India declaring the Islands, the first Indian Territory freed from the British rule.

Talking about his experience on the show Dr Samit says, “I take my identity from the islands of Andaman and Nicobar since I was born there, and I am proud to represent the islands on national television and on a prestigious show like ‘KBC’. It was an absolute dream come true to be playing, sitting opposite Mr Amitabh Bachchan and talking to him about my hometown. I will take back these cherished memories of being a part of one of Indian television’s most historic shows, especially during the Diwali celebrations. Meeting Mr Bachchan was a privilege, and having people know about Andaman and Nicobar was an honour, I thank Sony TV and KBC for granting me this unique opportunity.”

Celebrate Diwali and watch Dr Samit Sen from Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar on the hotseat on the 24th and 25th of October on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14’, at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
