KBC 18: Amitabh Bachchan-hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 saw rollover contestant Supriyo Bhattacharjee from Duliajan, Assam, continue his game on the October 2 episode. Supriyo, who works with Oil India Limited, had won Rs 1 lakh without using any lifeline on the previous episode and returned to the hot seat to continue his KBC journey.Supriyo had three lifelines available to him as he continued the game. He also shared a memorable experience from his first visit to Mumbai in 2024, when he went to Amitabh Bachchan’s residence, Jalsa, hoping to catch a glimpse of the veteran actor.During his conversation with Amitabh Bachchan, Supriyo recalled that his mother had wanted to meet the actor. He said he knew that he meets fans outside Jalsa every Sunday at 5 pm, so they reached the spot at noon.“I came to Mumbai for the first time in 2024, and my mother kept asking when we would get to meet Bachchan ji. I knew that you meet your fans at Jalsa every Sunday at 5 pm. So, we reached outside Jalsa at 12 noon. A huge crowd had already gathered by then. I finally got to see you at 5 pm. I will never forget that,” Supriyo told the veteran actor.Amitabh Bachchan then recalled how the setup outside Jalsa evolved over the years to ensure that fans could see him. He said that when he initially stood on the ground, people at the back would complain that they could not see him. He then started standing on a small platform, but fans still said they could not see his entire body, eventually leading to the construction of a larger platform.The actor also admitted that he gets nervous when his staff tells him that everything is ready and asks him to come outside to meet the fans.“It is quite frightening when the staff tells me that everything is ready and asks me to come out. I start wondering whether people will actually be there or not. But there are always some people who come, and I thank them for coming even in such intense heat,” he said.Story continues below this adALSO READ: Nushrratt Bharuccha fractures spine in Bali, to return to Mumbai by air ambulanceSupriyo Bhattacharjee uses Audience Poll and Sanket SoochakSupriyo continued his game and reached the question worth Rs 3 lakh, for which he used the Audience Poll lifeline.
