In the ‘Juniors Week’ of Amitabh Bachchan hosted ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16', young contestant Parth Upadhyay aka the #MythoKing from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, impresses Mr. Amitabh Bachchan with his extensive knowledge of mythology. This 9th-grade student describes his acting skills as his superpower and performs a mythological narration based on the Sunder Kand and Yudhha Kand from the epic Ramayana. As he performs, his impressive knowledge leaves the veteran actor visibly proud as he stands up to applaud for Parth.

In a fun conversation with AB, Parth calls acting their superpower, while Amitabh Bachchan humorously says “acting is not my superpower, woh sirf ek naukri dhundne ka zariya hai (a means to find a job), I just manage to earn a bit through acting.”

Parth then reminds Amitabh Bachchan of his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s dear friend, the legendary poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. He recites from ‘Veer Ras ki Rashmi Rathi,’ and his flawless delivery and expressions captivate the audience.

Commending his impeccable delivery and narration, Amitabh Bachchan said, “Let me tell you, Dinkar Ji and Babbuji were close friends; they would often spend time together and visit each other, he’s even come to our house. And the way you spoke, it was exactly like him, with that same energy! Yes, his voice was a bit deeper, but the accent and voice modulation you used were truly remarkable!"
