#SonyEntertainmentTelevision’s knowledge-based game show #’KaunBanegaCrorepatiSeason14′ will be welcoming the happy-go-lucky contestant from Mumbai, #CindyRaycelRodrigues. The 23-year-old is a student, pursuing Masters in Management Studies and the only woman in her class in Operations in her college and would be gracing the hotseat on 29th November, Tuesday. This would be impressing the host, #MrAmitabhBachchan, heavily, who would commend the contestant on taking up a role usually performed by men. Cindy would also be engaging the host in many interesting conversations and perform a brilliant gameplay which would enthral the audience and the viewers.

Conversing with Mr Bachchan, Cindy would be talking about how she had always desired to be a cricket commentator or be a show host, just like the host. Big B and the contestant would also be talking about her personal life and how she was raised by a strong single mother and her grandparents. Cindy would talk about her parents and her upbringing, crediting her family for moulding her into the woman she is, “They are the reason behind my success because every daughter learns from her parents and I have learned how to be strong from my mother. When you are a single mother, society has a lot to say to you, they judge your character and tell you that you will not be able to raise a child and that there must be something wrong with their upbringing. Even in school, I knew I cannot make a mistake because people would judge and say “she is from a broken home”, “her mom is a single parent”, or “her upbringing must not be right and so she made this mistake.” People judge you a lot and then you would have to be answerable to them. This is what has led me to grow closer to God. If there was no God then we three, my mother, my grandmother and I would not be able to reach where we are today. My grandmother and my mother always taught me that God is my father figure and I have lived it.” She even spoke about her grandfather and how he was her first father figure, taking care of her and being sweet to her when others did not. Mr Bachchan would also call upon the fact that her success can be credited to the two strong women in her life, her mother and grandmother who made her successful.

The contestant would be playing a fun game of ‘pol-khol’ further in the game, practising to be an anchor/host. One of the questions, about having celebrity crushes would have Big B reveal that he had always been inspired by Dilip Kumar Saab and Waheeda Rehman. About the latter actress, a source close to the set said that the host thought that she was beautiful, “Mr Bachchan said that he was inspired by the body of work that the two actors have. He spoke about Waheeda ji’s beauty and said that he always found that she had a unique “Indian-ness” to her and she was very down to Earth and simple.” The contestant would reply that he is a celebrity crush to many today, making the host blush.

The show’s host, Amitabh Bachchan asked a contestant “Who among these in the year 2022 bought a virtual land and named it Balle Balle Land?” The question was being played for Rupees One Lakh Sixty Thousand and the options were Mika Singh, Daler Mehendi, Diljit Dosanjh and Harbhajan Singh. The contestant used a lifeline to respond – Audience poll. 56 percent of the audience voted for Daler Mehndi and the answer was correct.
Daler Mehndi shared his excitement, “I did not see the episode on TV but a few friends had shared the clip. I spoke about it on the Kapil Sharma show when I had just made the purchase and now it has reached KBC, it really keeps getting bigger. Such a mass popular show spoke about my Balle Balle Land on PartyNite Metaverse, now it has surely reached aam janta. Metaverse is the future and the digital world will keep growing, I am glad I took the step of buying land on Metaverse. I also welcome my artists fraternity to be part of my Balle Balle Land with their offerings so they reach straight to the heart of Gen-Z and Gen Alpha”.
Speaking about the development, Rajat Ojha, Founder PatryNite, who had inked the land deal with Daler Mehndi stated, “A question on Metaverse on KBC goes to show that Metaverse is now reaching the common audience. It is no longer an alien. Not only did 56 percent vote the right answer but a show which is as mainstream and a household name as KBC has spoken about Metaverse gives us assurance that this platform will grow, this also affirms our belief system to focus a lot on consumer space and offering value to our users.”
Amitabh Bachchan’s baritone on KBC is a staple in Indian households. Keeping the nation on tenterhooks from Monday to Friday 9 PM onwards, not just the participant on the hot seat or the audience in the studio, the viewers glued to their TV sets become a part of the guessing game.

Mr Bachchan also said that one of the reasons that he married Mrs Jaya Bachchan was her long and beautiful hair.

Upon arrival to the hotseat, Mr Bachchan would be asking her if there is a reason for not having a surname. The contestant would then respond by saying, “My full name is Ruchi. I feel that a surname puts you in a caste bracket. I feel your first name is self-sufficient, it is your individual identity. And like me, my husband too has his own identity. Since childhood, I have only been addressed as Ruchi and here, on the platform of Kaun Banega Crorepati, I am only Ruchi.” The host would then follow this up by talking about how many contestants on the hotseat express themselves beautifully and how Ruchi’s words and beliefs are after his own heart. He would especially commend the beliefs of all the women contestants who come to the hotseat as they often open themselves up on the seat, without being afraid of judgement or being silenced. He would then applaud the contestant on just being, “Mrs Ruchi”.

Adding on to the conversation, Mr. Bachchan would then highlight how the legendary surname “Bachchan” is actually his father’s identity, the great poet, Harivansh Rai ji’s penname, “As I have said before, my father never wanted to be in the ropes of caste. His surname “Bachchan” was his ‘kavi naam’ or penname. During my school admission, the teacher asked my parents what my surname was to be. It is then that my father on the spot decided that my surname would be, ‘Bachchan.’ I became the first example of being a, ‘Bachchan.’”

Ruchi would follow this up by saying, “Sir you are a fine example of, ‘Incredible India’, just like me. I am from Bihar and my husband is from Punjab. Both of us have stayed in and have grown up in Haryana. We have studied in Delhi and so, we are a combination of many states as well.” The host would comment on unity in diversity and how even after belonging to so many different communities, speaking different languages, we are one. Throughout the game the contestant would engage the host in many different subjects, talk about being a media analyst and even show how people love the show on Twitter through pictures.

The contestant would start by dubbing Big B to be a ‘lighthouse’ in the middle of the sea which is the contestants and the audience. He would ask the host to call him ‘Sameer’ since that is what he is known as at home. Speaking of his passion for food, Momin would explain to Mr. Bachchan how it was his grandfather, his nanaji, who instilled it in him since as a child, he would frequently go to restaurants with him. The conversation would also steer towards Mrs Jaya Bachchan who studied in FTII, Pune and participated with much fervour in Ganapati festivals in the city. Momin would also narrate the haunting tale of Shaniwar Wada and how one can still hear the echoes of a child screaming ‘kaka mala vachva’ in the corridors of the ancient palace.

As part of the ‘Asha Abhilasha’ special week, Momin would be asking if a call could be made to his Nanaji who is a big fan of Mr Bachchan, having also introduced his grandson to his movies. The call would be a special one as the contestant would be gifting special attar from his Nanaji to him. Musk and Rose scented, the perfumes would be much appreciated by the host who would even apply some in front of Nanaji, all the while commending him on his choice of scent.

Talking about his experience of being on the show Momin shares, “an experience that I will cherish for a lifetime, that is all I have words for what I experienced in the show. It was magical, especially the moment when I was able to give sir the attar from my Nanaji. It is because of my parents,my nanaji that I have reached the hotseat. I am just a medium for them to achieve their dreams. Talking to Mr Bachchan I told him about how my grandfather would take me to different eateries as a child and Nanaji spoke about how we would watch Sholay when it would come on tv, all night long. Winning for the game also helped me unlock the path to my dreams. I thank Sony TV and the manch of KBC for giving me this golden opportunity.”
