Charismatic
tennis
legend
Leander
Paes
and
ace
gymnast
Dipa
Karmakar,
both
of
whom
have
given
fans
reason
to
rejoice
and
made
the
country
proud
on
multiple
occasions,
lived
up
the
fervour
and
festivities
in
ethnic
wear,
bouts
of
banter
and
laughter,
for
the
upcoming
Karamveer
special
episode
of
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
12.
Amitabh
Bachchan
took
the
special
guests
down
the
memory
lane,
getting
them
to
recount
the
experience
of
their
maiden
victory,
their
achievements,
their
challenges
and
their
milestones.
When
Big
B
asked
Karmakar
if
she
remembers
Paes
winning
a
bronze
medal
at
the
Atlanta
Olympics
1996,
she
quipped,
"Sir,
I
was
3
years
old."
An
embarrassed
Paes
commented,
"Sir,
today
she
made
me
feel
really
old!"
A
fun
rapid-fire
round
saw
Big
B
getting
Paes
and
Karmakar
to
open
up
about
their
favourite
sports
personality,
their
cheat
day
meals,
toughest
opponents,
toughest
part
about
training,
et
al.
When
Karmakar
was
asked
about
her
favourite
Bollywood
personality,
pat
came
the
reply,
"Hrithik
Roshan,"
and
she
quickly
added,
"Aap
toh
ho
hi,"
while
Paes
maintained
it
has
forever
been,
"Amitabh
Bachchan."
The
stars
also
had
a
few
words
of
wisdom
to
share.
"To
become
a
champion,
you
have
to
take
extra
effort
or
else
you
just
remain
a
player,"
Paes
shared
in
true
sportsman
style.
Even
Karmakar
spoke
about
how
acing
the
Produnova
Vault,
also
known
as
death
vault,
has
been
the
most
prized
moment
for
her.
She
explained,
when
she
had
asked
her
coach
about
how
she
could
increase
her
chances
to
win
a
medal,
she
was
told
the
Produnova
Vault
could
be
the
key,
but
that
it
was
dangerous.
"I
did
not
hear
dangerous.
Mujhe
sirf
medal
jeetna
hai,"
reveals
Karmakar,
sharing
how
having
the
right
focus
in
life
always
helps
people
sail
through.
