The megastar pointed out that Nareshi might be worried about winning the prize money on KBC to get her treatment done, but she should keep her concerns aside. Amitabh mentioned:

“Badi himmat honi chahiye ek mahila mein. Ek toh sarvajanik roop se yeh baat kehna, iske liye bohot himmat ki zarurat hoti hai. Aur khaas toh jis tarah ki avastha hal uske baare mein baat karna hi mushkil hota hai. Kahin na kahin aapne apne mann ke andar yeh rakh rakha hai, yeh thaan ki main aaj KBC main aayi hoon aur main dhanrashi jeet kar jaungi aur iska ilaaj ho sakta hai. Aapke dhairya ke liye hum aapko dhanyawaad karte hai. Lekin iss or jo aapka dhyaan hai, ab woh apne dimag se hata lijiye aur jo aapka chhipa hua tumour hai, woh bhi nikal jayega.”
