The most famous Punjabi singer and actor came onto the stage of KBC with loads of infectious humor and charm, only to be stopped at two questions away from the Rs 7 crore grand prize as the dreaded hooter signaled an end. To which, of course, Diljit protested with good humor and demanded his money while insisting he had another lifeline left.
Winning Moment
The show had given Dosanjh an edge of nervous tension: he was faced with a Rs 50 lakh question–“Which famous musician composed the original tune that plays at the beginning of Doordarshan broadcasts?”–and while he never wanted to use a lifeline and wavered between Pandit Ravi Shankar and Dr. L. Subramaniam, Bachchan’s encouragement finally led him to take the 50-50 and correctly get the name Pandit Ravi Shankar, winning the prize.
Dosanjh and Bachchan shared a few lighthearted moments, making the journey on KBC a little fun. Refusing to leave the show even after the time had expired, Dosanjh jokingly demanded his winnings and declared that he was more than ready to take on the remaining questions.
An admirer of legends
In one very heartwarming moment, Dosanjh shared his childhood memory of watching Amitabh Bachchan films on Doordarshan. He remembered how happy he was watching action-packed movies with Bachchan and Dharmendra and expressed respect for the old stars. The simple-minded Dosanjh viewed acting as one big action and fighting scene back then, and the candid thoughts touched the hearts of the viewers.
Winning in a streak throughout KBC proved the knowledge of Dosanjh and also highlighted an adorable personality that cut across the country resonating with the people. Combining wit, humility, and a fondness for Bollywood icons, he created a momentous episode worth watching until the very last moment.
