Kaun Banega Crorepati 10: This KBC 10 contestant kept Amitabh Bachchan on the edge! Here's how

The Kaun Banega Crorepati 10 Episode 6 on the second Monday since the show premiered was a good watch simply for its emotional as well as fun quotient. KBC 10 contestant Preeti Kimta kept superstar host Amitabh Bachchan on the edge with her spontaneity. 

Hailing from Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, Preeti Kimta's happiness knew no bounds when on KBC 10, she answered correctly and the fastest in the Fastest Finger First round. She jumped for joy, as her name was called out to be on the hot seat opposite Amitabh Bachchan. Kimta told Senior Bachchan how she had been trying to be a KBC contestant for many years, and her husband egged her on every season to try her luck.

Finally, on the show and on the hot seat, Preeti Kimta couldn't contain her excitement. Probably that was why she used two of her lifelines pretty early on in the KBC 10 quiz. This contestant was not playing a strategic game but was playing from the heart. But this kept Amitabh Bachchan on edge, in spite of him being the show's host for nine seasons now.

Amitabh Bachchan has always maintained that he gets rather emotional listening to the struggle-filled stories of the contestants of Kaun Banega Crorepati over the years, especially the girls and women who really strive hard.

On Kaun Banega Crorepati 10, Bachchan got emotional yet again thanks to the story of Preeti Kimta's family's loss. Knowing the format of the show, Preeti Kimta very expressive and told the Big B about her journey and her struggles. She sang a folk song from the hills which tells the sad story of a woman who dies at the hands of her in-laws. A humble Preeti explained the context, speaking of how her once a happy-go-lucky family is going through a tough time right now after the untimely demise of her sister's husband. 

Seeing Preeti and her family in tears on the sets of KBC 10, Amitabh Bachchan was almost in tears but composed himself. To motivate the family and the contestant, the legendary actor recited his illustrious father poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poem Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi in Hindi: जीवन में एक सितारा था, माना वह बेहद प्यारा था, वह डूब गया तो डूब गया, अम्बर के आनन को देखो, कितने इसके तारे टूटे, कितने इसके प्यारे छूटे, जो छूट गए फिर कहाँ मिले, पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर, कब अम्बर शोक मनाता है, जो बीत गई सो बात गई| Preeti Kimta knew the poem and joined in, smiling at last and continuing to play KBC 10.

As the mood changed, Preeti Kimta urged Amitabh Bachchan to get up and dance! When he asked her to answer the remaining quiz questions, she kept insisting he dance and didn't leave a chance at every break to ask him. On the edge again, Big B composed himself and promised her he would shake a leg at the end of the game show's episode. Well, he didn't! But he did take a photo with Preeti Kimta.

Belonging to a family of teachers, Preeti Kimta is also a teacher and tested her knowledge on the show. She went on to win Rs 6,40,000 on KBC 10 and quit at the stage where she could not answer the Rs 12,50,000 question. And what will she do with the prize money of Rs 6,40,000? Preeti Kimta revealed to Amitabh Bachchan that she would donate 10 percent of the amount won as prize money to charity, then pay off some loans and family payments, buy clothes for herself and throw a party. It was a good start to the second week of KBC 10.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 10 premiered on Monday, September 3, on Sony Entertainment Television. It airs on weekdays at 9 pm IST.
