Salute to Wisdom: Amitabh Bachchan praises Tenali Rama on KBC, piques Krishna Bharadwaj's curiosity
Mumbai, 06 December, 2024: In an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 (KBC), veteran actor and show host Amitabh Bachchan acknowledged the wisdom of one of India's greatest historical figures, Tenali Rama, a 16th-century poet, scholar, and court jester of the Vijayanagara Empire of King Krishnadevaraya.
Mr Bachchan emphasised the eternal importance of knowledge and wisdom in Indian history. With his characteristic seriousness, he remarked, “The power of wisdom is not only used in this game but is written on every page of Indian history... The best example of this is Tenali Rama, the priceless jewel of the Rajya Sabha of King Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagara in the 16th century. Beyond this, the saga of Tenali Rama is even more amazing and historic and it will be interesting to relive it.” The veteran actor praised Tenali Rama's wisdom, and called him the best example of how wit and wisdom have been integral in solving challenges throughout Indian history.
Interestingly, all set to reprise the iconic character of Tenali Rama on screen, Krishna Bharadwaj took to his social media to express his happiness and gratitude after learning about Mr Bachchan's tribute. Brimming with excitement, Krishna Bharadwaj said, “OMG! Just saw a clip of the legend Amitabh Bachchan talking about the great Tenali Rama on #KBC and I am over the moon! I am extremely excited to play this iconic character in Sony SAB's upcoming show, premiering on 16th December! Hearing Mr Bachchan praise Tenali's wit and wisdom has really inspired me to do justice to this legendary role. Don't miss it! #TenaliRama #Gratitude."
