Kaun Banega Crorepati 15: Amitabh Bachchan practised giving autographs

Amithabh Bachchan let on in a sweet anecdote from his initial days of acting in the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 15. 

Conversing with the contestant, Shamsuddin from Hyderabad, on Tuesday, Dec. 19, the Jhund actor reflected on his journey as an actor and recalled his early teen years.

He confessed that after taking a leap in his acting career, he randomly practised signing autographs.

Bachchan shared, "Jab hum actor ban gaye the toh sabse pehle yehi practice karte the ki humara autograph kaisa hoga. (When I became an actor, this was the first thing that I practised)."

As Shamsuddin mentioned that he is a professor running an institute in the city, first question that appeared on the screen read: "For which of these stationary items would you get a refill?"

The contestant quickly responded, ‘pen’ being the only item that needs a refill.

The superstar went on to discuss about how the stationary item changed his life. 

Big B emphasised that he was fond of pens, noting that he used to store them under his pillow. 

He shared: "When I was in school till class second and third, we were allowed to use pencils and from class fourth pens were introduced in our lives."

"During childhood, whenever we bought something new, we used to keep it under our pillow and sleep. I remember I bought that pen, put it under my pillow and slept on it and filled it with ink in the morning, and then I started writing with it."
