KBC 18's question has Amitabh Bachchan-Ajmal Kasab connect, stumps stars
KBC 18’s question has Amitabh Bachchan-Ajmal Kasab connect; stumps Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol · indianexpress.com

A famous TV quiz show in India called Kaun Banega Crorepati, which means 'Who Will Become a Crorepati?', started its new season.

Some very popular movie actors came as guests on the first episode.

The host asked them a really hard question about a poet who wrote beautiful song lines.

The actors did not know the answer even after thinking about it.

They used a special power called MahaFlip, which lets players skip a hard question and pick a new one.

Then the host asked them to guess the answer anyway, and they guessed the wrong poet.

The right answer was Nida Fazli, a well-known Hindi and Urdu poet.

One of his poems later became a song in a movie called Ahista Ahista.

The same words were also spoken by the host in another movie called Silsila.

The story also tells about a time when some people thought Nida Fazli compared Amitabh Bachchan to a very bad person, but the poet said he never did that and his words were twisted.
