In the promos for his episode, the businessman can be seen he was ‘scared’ to come on KBC.
Why Kumar Mangalam Birla was scared to come on KBC
In a promo for the upcoming episode, host Amitabh can be seen welcoming Kumar to the set of KBC amidst cheers. His family can also be seen cheering for him in the audience. After they’re seated, Amitabh asks Kumar, “Itni der kaise lag gayi aapko yahan aane mai? (How come it took you so long to come here?)”
The businessman replies, “Amit ji, mai bhi kahi dino se aana chahraha tha. Lekin mujhe dar tha ki agar mein ek bhi sahi jawab nahi de paya, to Amit ji kya sochenge? (I’ve been wanting to come for a long time. But I was scared because what would you think if I can’t give a single correct answer?)” making the host chuckle.
The finale week episode with Kumar will air on December 29 at 9 PM on SET and Sony LIV.
