Pavitra Lal talks about his financial struggles
Amitabh Bachchan asks Pavitra Lal, “My best wishes are with you; but have you ever thought about what you’ll do if you get the money?” To which Pavitra highlights how he is unable to get married due to financial struggles and says, “I need 25-30 lakh. I have a loan, and my father has passed away. The house is falling apart, so it’s causing some problems and needs maintenance. Also, my mother is often ill, and there are medical expenses for her. I’m also not married yet, my salary is low, and that’s why no one wants me to marry their daughter.”
Amitabh Bachchan hails Sourav Ganguly's leadership skills
During the segment where audience members ask questions, Amitabh Bachchan also reveals why he is so fond of Sourav Ganguly. He says, “I am also very fond of Sourav Ganguly. It is believed that when Sourav Ganguly became the captain, there was a different kind of energy in the team. I can’t forget that moment when he was playing abroad and after they won, he took off his shirt and waved it around... He made it clear, ‘We are India.’ You can see it during the commentary as well when players from the other team keep praising their own team. But Sourav Da is never like that, he is neutral, and sometimes he even gives them a scolding. He has a lot of strength.”
