Amitabh Bachchan hurt his left knee while filming the previous day.
He slipped, fell, and felt some pain when standing.

Contestant Shourjya Das played the quiz show after him.
She stopped at a question worth Rs 50 lakh and kept Rs 25 lakh.

She hopes to pass State Public Service Commission examinations and become a Block Development Officer.
