In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, currently hosting its special segment for younger contestants, Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan paid a heartfelt tribute to the Indian Navy. The ongoing KBC Juniors features young participants aged 8 to 15, showcasing their knowledge and aspirations, and in this particular episode, Bachchan’s remarks resonated deeply with pride and reverence for the naval forces that safeguard India’s waters.
During the episode, a young contestant named Tritee Ranjhana from Assam shared her passion for serving the nation and expressed her dream of joining the Indian Navy. Bachchan, visibly moved by her ambition, praised her vision, stating, “Wow! It’s inspiring to see a young person with such a strong vision and dreams like yours. Serving the nation is indeed a noble ambition.”
The veteran actor elaborated on his admiration for the Indian Navy, highlighting a recent interaction with high-ranking naval officers who sought assistance in raising awareness about their operations. He mentioned his participation in a documentary aimed at shedding light on the significant work carried out by the Navy, which often goes unnoticed by the general public. “The Indian Navy is a formidable force,” Bachchan asserted. “It has evolved considerably over the years, becoming equipped with advanced weaponry and resources.”
Bachchan reminisced about the challenges faced during landing operations on an aircraft carrier, emphasizing the complexities that many are unaware of. He expressed a desire to witness these operations firsthand, revealing, “I even told them I’d love to learn more firsthand by visiting one of their ships—perhaps even an aircraft carrier—to understand and share the details of their operations.” His fascination extended to naval maneuvers, specifically when two ships come side by side at sea. He described the process where the captain transfers to another ship using a ropeway with a leather seat, stating, “I told them I’d love to try it myself someday.”
The admiration shown by Amitabh Bachchan in this episode highlights the importance of recognizing the efforts of the Indian Navy and inspires young viewers to consider a future in service to their country. KBC Juniors, which kicked off on November 4, continues to provide a platform for these young minds to express their dreams and aspirations, fostering a spirit of patriotism and ambition.
