Kumar Mangalam Birla Opens Up About Nerves on KBC with Amitabh Bachchan

Kumar Mangalam Birla Opens Up About Nerves on KBC with Amitabh Bachchan

Post by : Saif Rahman

Kumar Mangalam Birla, a prominent figure in Indian business and the head of the Aditya Birla Group, is gearing up for a significant appearance on the beloved quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17. His episode is set to air during the finale week on December 29 at 9 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.

Despite his successful leadership of a global business conglomerate, Birla recently confessed to feeling anxious about stepping onto the hot seat. In a teaser released prior to the episode, he shared candidly that the prospect of sitting across from the legendary Amitabh Bachchan was quite daunting for him.

The promotional clip features Amitabh Bachchan giving Kumar Mangalam Birla a warm welcome amidst enthusiastic applause from the audience. Supportive family members can also be seen cheering him on, creating a heartwarming atmosphere. During their dialogue, Bachchan inquires why it took Birla such a long time to make an appearance on the show.

Birla responds with genuine humility, explaining that he had long wished to participate in Kaun Banega Crorepati but was hindered by fear. He humorously remarked about his worries regarding what Bachchan would think if he struggled to answer a single question correctly, prompting laughter from the host and showcasing a more relatable side of the esteemed industrialist.

This moment struck a chord with many viewers, emphasizing that feelings of anxiety and self-doubt can afflict anyone, regardless of their level of success. Even as he manages vast enterprises and makes pivotal business decisions, Birla's apprehension regarding public scrutiny resonates with many everyday individuals.

The current season of Kaun Banega Crorepati has featured a diverse array of guests, from well-known personalities to everyday citizens. Numerous celebrities, including actors, musicians, and filmmakers, have graced the show, contributing to unforgettable moments, such as singer Diljit Dosanjh achieving the highest win of over ₹50 lakh.

As the show approaches its finale, Kumar Mangalam Birla’s participation is poised to capture significant attention. His presence not only enhances the star power of the concluding week but also conveys a vital message—that even the most influential leaders experience nerves, and acknowledging this is perfectly fine.
