After all, he wona crore to lose it all the very next minute. Destiny? Luck? Wrong decision? Callit anything. The moolah was gone. From a crore, he came down to `3,20,000only... Here, Prashant shields more queries with gusto.
I had read itsomewhere many years back. I knew the right answer. But somewhere in between Ilost concentration at that moment. It’s very different when one is on thehot seat. I guess I was under too much pressure. I knew I’d lose a lot ofmoney if I went wrong. And that’s whathappened.
On the contrary, he makes you feel so comfortable. I wasplaying very easily when he started talking to me. It just becomes a one-to-oneconversation with him. He takes away all yourfear.
Well, for sure, the stakes were very high. In fact, I hadpointed out the same to the channel but they said that the format was based onthe international game standard and hence could not be changed. Personally, Ifeel that when one reaches a crore, then one must take away at least `50 lakhand not be brought down so drastically to a mere `3 lakh.
It was a dream show for me from the very first time that ithad started in 2000.
I had been trying since then. But it is not easy to reachthere. I took it up as a challenge. Earlier the selections were made throughphone only. But this year there was a change in the selection criterion. Therewas a written test along with an interview.
I guess it was the funny answers I gave themduring the interview. They asked me why I had not gotten married, to which Iretorted, ‘Mujhe abhi tak koi aisi mili hi nahi jise dekh kar gudgudeeho.’
I like her acting, her eyes, her personality. Everythingabout her. I guess I’m just hooked on to her. For the grand finale of“KBC”, I was not aware that she’d be on the show. It was agreat surprise for me. I blurted out impromptu, ‘Aap mujhe apne nazdeekaane ka mauka dijiye.’ Everything on the show is impromptu. Nothing isscripted.
For me it was not much to deal with. I had reachedthe hot seat; played well; and won and then lost. Wherever I go people recognizeme today. Only because I was on “KBC”. They want to get clicked withme. They know me – on the road, in the mall, the neighbourhood –fame has touched me.
Definitely. I would love to.I believe that “Bigg Boss” is considering my name for the nextseason. I would like to play in a show like “Dus Ka Dum”. It is moremy kind of show.
