Contestant Krishna Selukar, who took the hot seat opposite Amitabh Bachchan, started by saying that despite having a degree in engineering, he lost his job during Covid-19 lockdown. He then compared his situation to an unmarried woman saying, “Agar mei kahu bina shadi ki ladki gharwalo par bojh hoti hai na sir, ek umar hone ke baad berozgar ladke utna hi bojh hote hai (If I say that an unmarried lady is a burden to her family, then after an age, an unemployed man is also a burden).”

Amitabh Bachchan quickly interrupted him saying that women are not a burden. “Ek baat batye aapko. Ladki joh hai bojh kabhi nai ban sakti. Bahut badi shaan hoti hai mahila. (Can I tell you one thing? A woman can never be a burden on the family. She is always an honour),” the Bollywood superstar said.
