What have you been up to these days?
Sir, I am a teacher at Janta Vidyalaya Aswali,
- which is part of the Maratha Vidya Prasarak Samaj. - Oh!
I teach children.
Along with that, I am a host. How am I a host, sir?
I started off as a teacher.
What happened was,
I thought
that I should do something for these children.
Because Mr. Amitabh Bachchan
has been hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati for everyone for years.
So, I should also start doing the same.
So, I asked for permission from my headmaster for this.
Once he gave me permission,
I explained to the students what they have to do.
I gathered the students on the ground
and then
I used to play Fastest Finger Round and everything.
I used to share this program with them.
I'll give you an example. Greetings, hello and thank you!
This is Santoshgiri Bawa, and I'm thrilled to welcome you
to another exciting, informative, and spectacular

Sir, I will never be anything like you.
These are mere words, sir.
I've understood this.
I get this.
Everyone from Sony is watching
and they've understood that they don't need me.
They have Mr. Santoshgiri now to complete the show.

"His name is Big B, you better watch out."
"Bachchan! Bachchan! Walk from the side."
"Bachchan! Bachchan! Watch your step."

"Bachchan! Bachchan! He's the angry young man."
"The name Amitabh resides in every heart."
"KBC without him is not whole, but a part."

- Oh! - "Bachchan! Bachchan! Walk from the side."
"Bachchan! Bachchan! Watch your step."
"Bachchan! Bachchan! He's the only one."
"Bachchan! Bachchan! He's not an angry young man,"

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you so much.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Hey, everyone stood up. Thank you so much.
[audience applauding]
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Please sit.
You sang my praises
and that of my talent as well.
I haven't learnt one art yet.
When people like you sit before me and perform a rap,
I still don't know what expression to give.
[laughs]
I still don't know that. All right.
All right, Ananyaji. Thank you so much.
- Accept my gratitude and wishes. - Thank you, sir.
The audience was supportive too.
- Please share with me what you wrote. - Okay.
- Please give it to me. - Yes, sir.

[audience applauding]

The fifth question for Rs. 10,000 appears on your screen now.

- LinkedIn! - Yes.
She wishes to lock D.
Yes, it's the right answer. Well done.
[audience applauding]
You've got five questions right.
- Congratulations. - Thank you, sir.
All right.
Ananyaji, the current generation
is very active on social media.
Is that the case with you too?
Sir, actually, the thing with social media is
that it helps you connect and network with people,
but at the same time, it's also addictive.
However, I'm a good girl
and I don't spend too much time on it, sir.
[laughter]
- Sir, I'm sure even you use social media... - Yes.
Or you did.
The paparazzi hound you
and they must also be posting something or the other about you.
I don't go outside.
[laughter]
Sir, there are a few photos of you that are way too catchy.
I want to know what exactly you were doing
because these are different types of pictures.
Highly interesting.
So, if possible, could those photos be displayed?
- What I was doing in the photos! - Sir.
[laughter]
One of them is quite a daring photo, sir.
- And... - This is a real shot.
- It was taken when... Yes. - [applause]
[music playing]
- There were no harnesses used in action scenes in our days. - Yes.
You had to jump without them.
The jump would be 20 to 30 feet.
If I didn't, I feared I'd lose my job.
So, I'd do it anyway.
This is either from 'Mr. Natwarlal' or 'Do Aur Do Paanch'.
You can make out from my expression
that I was scared and I was screaming.
I was screaming because...
Don't mistake it for the scene.
I was screaming because I was thinking,
"I am jumping from a height of 30 feet."
"I wonder which bones will break."
"Where will I land? What will happen?"
[audience applauding]
[music playing]
Oh, this one.
This is from the time when shows were organised.
Artists would go abroad to do shows.
At that time, in a way...
I find this awkward to say,
but I started this
so that artists would actually go abroad.
I performed myself.
I used to sing along with the orchestra.
This was the first time.
- This... Yes... - [audience applauding]
- You look really handsome, sir. - This...
- This is a photograph from New York. - Okay.
And this is Madison Square Garden.
There is a well-known theatre there.
I was in front of it.
- It says behind me 'live tonight'. - Behind you, 'live tonight'.
I had a performance there.
This photo was taken then.
Just to promote it so that more people would come.
How about that?
Yes, sir. This is the best!
[audience applauding]
This was for an advertisement.
The song was playing in the background and I...
This wasn't for an advertisement.
I thought I should strike a dance pose.
[laughs]
I was kidding around.
- [music playing] - [laughter]
You see, I was tired of sitting here all day and was yawning.
[laughter]
Either that or I was pointing that my toe was broken.
It really is broken. That's why I wear these shoes.
I was pointing at my broken toe.
There is one thing, sir.
No matter which angle you are photographed from or when,
you are always photogenic and charismatic, sir.
That's for sure, sir.
[audience applauding]
The bugle will sound now and the Super Sawaal will come.
- This is why people hound you. - Focus here.
[bugle sounds]
All right, Ananyaji.
As you know, that bugle was sounded for the Super Sawaal.
The Super Sawaal is here.
Mr. Computer will present a question which you must answer.
It will have no options
and there's no time limit.
All right, Mr. Computer!
Present the Super Sawaal question for Ananyaji, please.
[music playing]
[solemn music playing]
Sir, I don't know much about directors.
I have seen both the films
- but... - Have you watched them both?
Yes.
Then you ought to know.
When the credits appear,
- the name of the director is in bold letters. - Yes.
Um...
I really don't know the answer, sir.
Make a wild guess.
Who do you think it might be?
Sir, I think Siddharth Anand?
Siddharth Anand.
She says Siddharth Anand. Please lock it.
[suspenseful music playing]
It's wrong. Zoya Akhtar.
- Zoya. - [ominous music playing]
Zoya Akhtar was the director.
Zoya Akhtar is the daughter of Javed Akhtar
and sister of Farhan Akhtar.
She directed 'Gully Boy' and 'Dil Dhadakne Do' very well.
All right, because you didn't answer the Super Sawaal correctly,
you will not get the Dugnaastra.
However, your game will continue
and you will move on.

A spectrum of light is refracting from it.
- Okay. - So the answer to this is option B, Refraction.
Mr Computer, Ananya wishes to lock option B.
That's the right answer, Ananya. Well done.
