Megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared that it is difficult for him to face the emotional pain of contestants who lose in his quiz-based show “Kaun Banega Crorepati.”
“We sit on the hot seat and meet and confront the contestants that have ambitious hopes of winning during the week of their stay on the floor, and when they cannot make it, it`s the hardest to control the frustration of defeat and lost opportunity for them, yes. (sic.)”
“But for me as well .. it is emotionally shattering to (see) their tears swell up as they find the week over, the Hooter played and the need to come and play, for whatever personal reasons, goes missing (sic.)”
