Amitabh talks about cockroaches on KBC 16
In the clip, Amitabh said, “Hain bada tandurust cockroach hain na? Kuch bhi karo sasura marta hi nahi hai (A cockroach is strong, right? Do whatever you want, but it won’t die).” At this, the KBC contestant and the audience were left in splits. The contestant also agreed that it was tough to get rid of the insect.
Amitabh continued, “Bohut saare humne uske saath tests wagera kiya hai…koi bole ki ek powder hai isko daal dijiye, do minute mein marjayega. Humne socha ki isko ek baar trial karna chahiye iska (I’ve done a lot of tests with it…someone said there is a powder, sprinkle it on the cockroach, and it will die within two minutes. I thought this should be tried once).”
He continued, “Toh ek bottle mein humne pura woh jo powder aata hai na, insecticide wala powder, usko bhara, thoda upar chod diya. Dhakkan khol ke bohut hi mushkil se ek cockroach ko pakda. Pakad ke humne usko us bottle k andar daal diya aur dhakkan bandh kardiya. Humne kaha, ‘Maro saale’ (So, in a bottle, I put insecticide powder, filled it and left some space on top. After opening the mouth of the bottle, I caught a cockroach with much difficulty. Then I put it in the bottle and closed its mouth. I said, ‘Die now’).”
The video was shared with the caption, “AB ne bataya apne cockroach ko pakadne ka style (AB shared his style of catching cockroach).” The latest season of KBC started airing on Sony Entertainment Television on August 12. It premieres on weekdays at 9 pm. Amitabh has been hosting KBC since its inaugural season in 2000, except for the third chapter in 2007, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan.
