[exciting music playing]
[theme track playing]
[applause]
Yes!
[applause and cheering]
Hearty welcome to everyone!
Hearty greetings to you all
and, I welcome you
to the grand, exciting and thrilling
Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[applause]
Thank you very much. That's enough.
Here and there.
[cheering]
Thank you very much.
[applause and cheering]
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, see...
whenever a player comes to this platform to play the game
our audience, all of you... on every question...
you start questioning the player himself.
Oh-ho!
'Why is he thinking so much? Take a lifeline if you don't know it.'
That's what people say.
'Oh! Why did you take 'audience vote'?' 'You should have chosen 'double dip'.'
'You should have used 'Dugnaastra' on this question.'
'Your money would have doubled.'
'No, no, no! Not B, choose D. Lock it.'
Several such thoughts
occur to the audience.
But, what these players are feeling
can only be understood by sitting on the hot seat.
[melancholic music playing]
After sitting here, one understands
that, at every question here, the player is putting his hard work
hopes, dreams and future at stake.
At such times, even a single mistake proves disastrous.
After waiting for years
our contestants are able to
come to this hot seat.
So, 'better late than never' is a philosophy that should
be followed here.
Even if you take time to give the answer
you should not make a mistake by giving the wrong answer.
That's very important.
[applause]
Our rollover contestant, Mr. Dinesh Kumar also
had to wait a lot.
The hooter blew the moment he reached the hot seat yesterday
and, the game ended, so
we'll begin the game with him today. Hello again, Mr. Dinesh Kumar.
You are welcome to our hot seat.
Whom have you brought as your companion?
Yes, she's sitting there.
- Your wife. Greetings, madam. - Greetings, sir.
You are welcome to our show.
[applause]
Yesterday, you performed an act when you came here.
When he came up here after fastest finger first
he reached here
and, spun the chair thrice and stood aside.
The chair kept spinning.
Then, he spun it again a couple of times.
Then, he began scolding it.
'What do you think of yourself?'
'I am waiting since yesterday.'
'Take that now...' He scolded the chair a lot.
Dinesh Kumar!
[excited cheering]
[applause]
[cheering and applause]
[dynamic music playing]
I'm back!
How have you been?
Did you think I wouldn't be back?
Come on!
- Till I don't break it, I won't spare it. - Won't spare it!
Come, take a seat.
[applause]
After seeing his behaviour when he came up here
I just wanted to ask you
does he break chairs this way at home too?
- This is exactly how he behaves. - Is it so?
[laughter]
Congratulations. You are great.
[laughter]
Alright, Mr. Dinesh, what do you do nowadays?
Sir, I...

Yes, you had said that when you came.
I want to say something about that, sir.
My name is Dinesh Kumar. I have come from Aligarh.
Family said I'm an oldie, friends termed me a baldie!
[laughter]
I have been rewarded for years of penance today.
This disciple has finally met his Guru.
Oh! Thank you very much.
[applause]
Alright, Mr. Dinesh Kumar, moving on.
- I want to bring your attention towards this game now. - Yes, sir.

Mr. Dinesh Kumar, here is the first question before you.
First question for rupees 1000, on your screen.

I'm generally asking you a question, sir.
What motivates you?
You said that there are several reasons
that motivate you to come here.
- What motivates you here, in KBC? - Yes, for that...
since the last 13 years, I have immense love
for you and KBC.
I had come 13 years ago.
- Yes. - I sat on the chair behind you
- and, returned without meeting you. - Okay.
I didn't reach here.
Since then, I have dreamed of sitting here, across you.
But, during this time, such issues arose
that I had to deal with first.
Oh! What issues have you dealt with?
I'll tell you, sir.
- Have you brought something? - Hmm.
This lock, sir.
I will use this lock on people who said that
I reached here in 2011 by chance, and would
have been back if I had the capability.
- Oh! They taunted you? - Several people have done that.
- I get it. - They don't know how one reaches KBC.
[applause]
- So, I'm locking their mouths with this lock today. - Yes, definitely.
I didn't come on an off chance.
I worked hard then, and, I worked hard now.
And, I have one more lock, sir.
[laughter]
For her. [laughter]
Sir.
- Let me do this, sir... - I've understood.
She taunted me the most.
Never mind.
There's a reason.
- When I came before... - Yes?
I sat back there.
Your first question was, put the idiom in order.
What was the idiom? Much ado about nothing.
[laughter]
Couldn't I do that? I had done it very fast.
And, I forgot to lock it.
[laughter]
Since then, if any arguments arise between us
she goes... 'much ado about nothing'!
[laughter]
So, this-this lock...
Now, it's done.
[applause]
- Alright, Mr. Dinesh Kumar. - There's one more, sir.
- Oh, one more? - Yes.
How many more do you have?
Sir, in four days...

Oh! Thank you very much.
And sir, India is severely addicted to you.

Not only am I addicted
but, everyone sitting here... aren't all of you addicted?
[cheering]
I am, too.
So, the count of your shows and movies has to rise higher.
Several more seasons of this.
So, today, I want to lock your age, sir.
[applause and cheering]
That's all.

[laughter]
So...
how did you two meet?
She was dangerous then.
[laughter]
- I live in Aligarh. - Yes.
That's my birthland, she's from Mathura.
I went to Mathura to study.
Someone said, if I go to her father, he'll arrange a room for me.
- Arrange a room? - Yes.
I went to their home one day, but, he wasn't there.
Her father. She was there.
I asked her if her dad was home.
She asked me what I wanted.
I said, I wanted to meet him for some work.
She shut the door.
[comic music playing]
- Shut the door? - Yes.
She said, meet him when he comes.
There's nobody home now.
Because, he's very social.
Several people come to their home all day to meet him.
Maybe she had to make tea for them.
[laughter]
So, she thought she'd have to make tea again.
For one tea, she slammed the door on my face.
[laughter]
I returned home angrily.
After that, her father came, and
he arranged a room for me too. I began visiting their home.
But, although I did mind, that
she slammed the door on me, I did like her.

So, you locked her up right there, once the door was closed.
Amazing! You have a beautiful story.

Then, the story was written, and, moved forward once we returned.
But sir, when the shooting began
I used to get dialogues over 3-4 pages.
So, I said to him...
you've shown me as a drunkard throughout the film
and, a drunkard talks a little slowly.
So, I said, he's a drunkard, he'll speak slowly.
It will take 7-8 hours to speak dialogues spanning 4 pages.
The movie will end in just one dialogue.

It's not the Venice Film Festival.
There is no other option. I have to go ahead.

About how married life
can have peace and happiness.

That's right.
If the men follow these tips,
then there won't be any worry in their married life.
That's great. Wow.
- Gentleman. - Yes.
Please share your tips with us.
The first tip is
the most dangerous question in the world,
'Am I looking fat?'
You must never answer this question.
That's absolutely right.
And you must say,
'Darling, there is no one more beautiful than you.'
- Wow, that's great. - 'You're not looking fat.'
- You're looking slim and trim. - Absolutely.
'The fitting is wrong.'
[laughter]
The second tip is,
if your wife
gives you some work,
you must not forget it.
- Do it immediately. - Very correct.
- Otherwise, many problems will crop up. - What can I say, sir?
And if you tell some work
to your wife accidentally
and she does not do it,
then you must not get angry.
'What's the hurry?'
- 'You can do it tomorrow, if you get the time.' - Yes.
These tips are excellent for a happy life.
Sir, we have been married
for 19 years.
And this is my experience of 19 years.

with Mrs Jaya is a very long one.
You've completed so many years. You are more experienced than me.

[audience laughing]
The thing is,
I don't have any tips.
If I say anything here, I'll have to face the consequences at home.
[audience laughing]
So I'm dependent on
your tips.
Let's say, I'm questioned after I go home,
I'll say, 'I did not say it.'
