“Aap bohot sundar lag rahi hai, yeh jo aapne gale mein pehena hua hai na, yeh toh ati sundar hai. Aur yeh jo saree hai, iske upar jitne bhi devi-devta hai, sabki chhavi hai uske upar (You are looking very beautiful, your necklace is very beautiful and your saree has all the deities on it),” Amitabh told a blushing Namrata on KBC 13. She replied, “Patidev toh nahi bolte sir, kabhi. Aapne bol diya, wohi mere liye bohot badi baat hai (My husband never says these things to me, it is a very big deal to me that you complimented me).”

However, Amitabh was not done with complimenting her. He told Namrata that when she walked to the hot seat, it felt like she was dancing rhythmically. Even her words sounded like music, he said.

Namrata said that Amitabh looked so ‘young’ and added that she could see no difference in him from the time she visited the Kaun Banega Crorepati sets 21 years ago. “Producer ji, yeh karyakram bandh karo, mujhe Namrata ji ke saath chai peene jaana hai (please stop the show, I want to go out for a cup of tea with Namrata),” he said.
