KBC 19: Youngster Corrects Big B's French; Amitabh Bachchan Playfully Slaps Himself in Apology

Can you even imagine it? You’re on the Kaun Banega Crorepati hot seat, the lights are on you, and the legendary Amitabh Bachchan is sitting right across from you. Then he mispronounces something. Do you stay quiet? Or do you correct him?

Well, young Reyansh Singh Rajpal from Akola, Maharashtra, chose violence. In the best way possible. On a recent episode of KBC 19, a question popped up: “In which language would ‘je m’appelle’ mean ‘my name is’?”

Before Big B could even finish reading the options, Reyansh jumped right in to gently correct the host’s French pronunciation. The confidence. Absolutely brilliant.

And Bachchan’s reaction? It was pure gold. Instead of getting awkward, he playfully slapped himself on the cheek and offered a sincere apology to the young contestant. You just can’t make this stuff up.

This Kid Is Going Places

Look, Reyansh wasn’t just there to show off his language skills. This kid has a plan. He told Bachchan that his big dream is to become a full-time French teacher. And honestly, he’s already got the best story for his future students.

But that’s not all. The contestant also revealed his love for reading, sharing that he got 23 sets of the anime “Demon Slayer” for his birthday. Talk about a dedicated fan.

He also dropped this absolute gem of a quote, stating that “Chicken Biryani is the best medicine in the world.” You know what? He’s not wrong.

A Dream for His Dad

Here’s the thing, Reyansh’s motivation was incredibly heartwarming. He wasn’t just playing for himself. He wanted to win the prize money to help his father finally achieve his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant.

So, how did he do? He played a fantastic game, full of knowledge and personality. But eventually, he faced a tough question for ₹12,50,000. After some thought, he decided not to risk it and quit the game. Turns out, he was just one guess away from the correct answer. So close!

But honestly, walking away with a big prize and the story of how you corrected Amitabh Bachchan on national television? That’s a win no matter what. What do you think?
