Tulsi and Parvati on 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'
By Subhash K. Jha, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, Oct 26 (IANS) This Diwali, KBC has something special lined up for its viewers. Coming up on Oct 30 is the Diwali special of KBC, where 'Tulsi' Smriti Irani will share the hot seat with 'Parvati' Sakshi Tanwar.
The pair was earlier seen in the first KBC. So why the repeat?
Explains Samir Nair of Star, "Earlier, Parvati and Tulsi appeared on KBC with other partners...Parvati with Pallavi (Shweta Kawatre) and Tulsi with Mihir (Amarr Upaddhyay). But to have the two Bahus on the hot seat seemed like an ideal arrangement. After Ajay-Kajol and John-Bipasha, this was the celebrity pair most in demand."
Says Smriti, "Contrary to belief, Sakshi and I are good friends. There is no rivalry between us. It was an honour to sit across Bachchan a second time and play KBC. I think Sakshi and I are the only two people to have done that."
Sakshi is even more effusive. "It was an awesome experience. I had never thought I would be on KBC again. It was much more fun. I was far more excited and nervous than the last time. In fact, every emotion was 'ummeed se dugna'. We played very well and really enjoyed the game and the interaction with Bachchan.
"Of course the pressure of performing well was there. But, both Smriti and I played with full honesty and to the best of our abilities. I only wish we hadn't answered the question for Rs.5 million so hurriedly and used up our two remaining lifelines.
"Anyway I had a blast. Apart from the money that we won for our favourite charitable causes, I earned memories that I will cherish for life. Though it was a 2-hour shoot I learnt so much from watching Bachchan. His unlimited energy, humility, professionalism and perfectionism are traits that every actor should imbibe," said Sakshi.
Though the two television bahus went up to Rs.2.5 million, finally it was brought down to an accumulated prize money of Rs.6,40000 because of wrong answering. However, both said they had a great deal of fun.
