Can you even imagine correcting Amitabh Bachchan on national television? Well, one young contestant just did. And his confidence is something else.
Meet Reyansh Singh Rajpal from Akola, Maharashtra, who appeared on the October 9, 2025, episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 19. During a question about the French phrase “je m’appelle,” which means ‘my name is,’ Reyansh didn’t even wait for the options. He immediately corrected Big B’s pronunciation right there on the spot.
What happened next? Amitabh Bachchan, in a truly classic move, playfully slapped himself. Yeah, he actually did. He then apologized for his pronunciation, showing just how humble he can be. It was a moment nobody saw coming.
A Future French Teacher
Here’s the thing, Reyansh isn’t just a casual French speaker. He told the host that his biggest ambition is to become a full-time French teacher when he grows up. So, his ear for the language is already incredibly sharp. It all makes sense now, doesn’t it?
But his dreams don’t stop there. Reyansh also shared a deeply personal goal. He wants to win the prize money to help his father’s business. Specifically, he wants to buy his dad a restaurant. You can see the determination in this kid.
Not Your Average Kid
Beyond his language skills, Reyansh is a huge fan of reading and anime. It’s not just a passing interest. For his birthday, he didn’t ask for a big party or expensive gadgets. Nope. He reportedly asked for 23 sets of the anime “Demon Slayer.” Talk about dedication!
And he’s not just charming, he’s a smart player too. During the game, he absolutely crushed the Super Sandook round, winning 90,000 points. He even managed to revive his ‘Gyan Astra’ lifeline, putting himself in a great position on the show.
So, a kid with big dreams, sharp skills, and the guts to correct a legend. What do you think about his bold move?
