Big B Asked His Personal Makeup Artist To Touch Up Harsh
When asked about his experience interacting with Amitabh Bachchan, Harshvardhan shared an interesting anecdote. He revealed that when he had answered the final question, the producers decided to take a short break. Amitabh Bachchan then asked his personal makeup artist to do a touch up on Harshvardhan, and the latter knew that he had cracked the Rs 1 crore question. He also said, "After the show there have been many instances where I have interacted with Mr Bachchan and I have several examples that I can quote. He treats you differently and has that human touch which is so absent these days amongst even common people but given a person like his stature he is very humble."
The Words Of Wisdom That Amitabh Offered
Amitabh even had a few words of wisdom to offer to Harshvardhan, when he won the game show. "I mean these things come from someone who has seen it all. He meant it was very easy to lose yourself in that bubble fame of yours. He was in a way trying to tell me that be cautious and prepare myself for the change," said Harshvardhan.
