Mumbai, Oct 1 (IANS): Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently seen as the host of the quiz reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati: Season 16', shared his opinion on the word 'gadha' (donkey) while explaining its significance related to the mythological epic Ramayana.
In the latest promo of the knowledge-based show, Big B was seen interacting with a contestant on a hot seat while sharing an interesting fact.
The makers captioned the promo, "AB ne bataya humein Ramayana ke baare mein ek dilchasp fact! Dekhiye #KaunBanegaCrorepati, Mon-Fri raat 9 baje sirf #SonyEntertainmentTelevision par."
The video started as, "Pushvak vimaan ke baare mein adhiktar log jaanate hain lekin Ravan ke paas kayi jaadui vastuein thi. Jin mein se ye ek rath bhi tha ye hawa mein bhi udd sakta tha. Gadhe kafi mehnati jeev hote hai, isliye wo ek tarah ke karamyogi hote hai (Most of the people know about Pushpak Viman, but Ravana had many magical devices. One of them was this chariot, that could fly in the air. Donkeys are very hard-working animals that's why they are one kind of karmayogis).
Big B continued, "Bahut se log aise hai jo gadhe shabd ke sath anaap shanaap bolte rehte hai, aree bahut bada gadha hai ye ise bilkul samajh nahi aata, lekin jaisa abhi humne kaha karmayogi jaanwar manein jaate hai, bahut mehnati hote hai."
