Veteran Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is the host of the quiz based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ season 15, expressed his fear when the Income Tax Department carries out their normal and routine work.
In episode 19 of the show, Akanksha Singh from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, won the fastest finger first and secured the hot seat. She praised Amitabh Bachchan, stating, “Your energy and aura are exemplary.”
In response, Amitabh Bachchan asked her about her profession, to which she replied, “Sir, I’m currently an Assistant Commissioner, State Tax. I work in the commercial tax department of Madhya Pradesh.”
Amitabh Bachchan said, “This is scary, dealing with income tax matters. Do you put in all your effort into your job? I am doing the same here. What makes it so special here? When you write summons and give instructions to locate someone who hasn’t paid their taxes, it requires a lot of energy, right? I do the same as I’m told.”
Akanksha responded, “But, sir, the way you do it…”
The ‘Sholay’ actor continued, “Everyone has income tax issues, and you resolve them. When we meet people like you, who work in the Income Tax Department, and they say that it’s just their normal and routine work, it may be routine for you, but for us, everything comes to a standstill.”
‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 15’ is aired on Sony.
