The
October
15
episode
of
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
13
(KBC
13)
was
graced
by
special
guests
Hema
Malini
and
Ramesh
Sippy
as
part
of
the
Shaandaar
Shukravaar
series.
The
duo
joined
the
host
of
the
show,
Amitabh
Bachchan
on
the
occasion
of
their
iconic
film
Sholay
completing
46
years
of
its
release.
After
explaining
the
rules,
Mr
Bachchan
commenced
the
game
with
Hema
Malini
and
Ramesh
Sippy.
The
duo
easily
crossed
the
Rs
10,000
mark
and
after
winning
Rs
1.6
lakh,
they
used
their
first
lifeline.
They
then
used
Ask
The
Expert
lifeline
for
Rs
25
lakh
question
as
they
were
a
little
unsure
about
the
answer.
The
question
that
helped
them
win
Rs
25
lakh
on
the
show
is
as
follows:
Who
played
the
role
of
Narada
in
the
1941
Tamil
film
Savithri?
It
came
with
the
following
options:
A)
MS
Subbulakshmi,
B)
Vijaya
Rajendran,
C)
Kalki
Sadasivam
and
D)
Radha
Viswanathan.
The
correct
answer
is
A)
MS
Subbulakshmi
During
the
episode,
Hema
Malini
and
Ramesh
Sippy
shared
some
interesting
anecdotes
about
their
film
Sholay.
We
also
got
to
see
Amitabh
and
Hema
recreate
'Dilbar
Mere’
song
from
the
film
Satte
Pe
Satta
at
Ramesh
Sippy's
request.
The
renowned
director
also
revealed
why
he
chose
Hema
Malini
as
'Basanti'
He
shared:
"See,
Hema
Ji
in
her
first
film
with
me
had
portrayed
the
role
of
a
young
widow
and
in
the
second
film,
'Seeta
Aur
Geeta',
she
surprised
us.
So,
for
the
role
of
'Basanti'
I
felt
that
no
one
can
do
it
apart
from
her.
Also,
there
was
one
more
thing.
When
we
completed
'Seeta
Aur
Geeta'
and
it
became
successful,
it
is
then
when
we
decided
whatever
I
make
after
this,
Dharam
Ji,
Hema
Ji
and
Sanjeev
Ji
must
be
there.
And
as
the
script
of
'Sholay'
was
shaping
up,
it
was
fitting
perfectly."
