Amitabh Bachchan spoke with KBC 16 contestant Prashant Pramod Jamdade.

In an upcoming episode, Prashant from Maharashtra's Sangli shared that he underwent surgery for a lump on his back. Unfortunately, during the operation, his nerves got affected, resulting in a loss of range of motion in his legs. He wants to receive proper treatment for his condition, but his family’s limited resources make this difficult.

When Amitabh asked him what he hopes to achieve with the prize money he wins, Prashant expressed that he wants to get treatment. Amitabh then asked if Prashant consulted any doctors about his condition, to which he replied, "There aren’t good hospitals in Sangli." In response, Amitabh said, "There are many hospitals in Mumbai in which there are doctors who specialise in nerve treatment."

In the show, Prashant also revealed that he hopes to buy an earpiece for his father, who struggles with his hearing due to his age. Touched by Prashant’s thoughtfulness, Amitabh said, "Well, I can relate! I’ve been thinking about getting one for myself too."
