New Delhi, Nov 14 : Bollywood’s legendary icon Amitabh Bachchan has opened up on his struggle to find admission in the college, and shared how he travelled to Chandigarh on a bicycle from Delhi, in order to get an admission in a university.
In episode 66 of the quiz based reality show, host Amitabh welcomed Shaikh Ajmat from Balasore, Odisha to the hot seat.
During the episode, Big B asked the contestant: “Alright.Shaikh Sir, you’re a teacher.You teach kids.What’s the subject?”
Contestant said: “Sir, I teach everything but I enjoy teaching mathematics and geography.And I believe that children find mathematics to be tough.So, I try to find new tricks and entertaining ideas so that kids don’t find it to be a burden.
”
The contestant then displayed an interesting mathematical trick on a white board, leaving Amitabh amazed with his skills.
The actor went on to say, “where were you in 1956? I was studying maths and didn’t know this.Had you been there, I would’ve learned something.I think you weren’t even born.I’m saying so because I don’t understand math.”
“I took up BSc in university.As I wasn’t getting admission elsewhere.I went to a couple of more places.I didn’t get admission in Delhi.So, someone told me that I might get it in Chandigarh.
So, I went to Chandigarh on a cycle from Delhi.It didn’t take me long to cycle.
I boarded the bus to Chandigarh and hung on the backside.And it dragged me all the way and I finally reached it.Then I got admission in Delhi in BSc,” said the ‘Don’ actor.
The actor added: “The first lecture for 45 minutes made me realise that I made a blunder.Science is a terrifying subject.So, I suffered for three years and then that book.What’s it called? A guide book.I memorised it and somehow became a graduate.But I don’t remember anything.So, had I found you then I would’ve probably been guided well.”
‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 15’ airs on Sony.
