Bollywood’s legendary icon Amitabh Bachchan has opened up on his struggle to find admission in the college, and shared how he travelled to Chandigarh on a bicycle from Delhi, in order to get an admission in a university.<\/p>\n
In episode 66 of the quiz based reality show, host Amitabh welcomed Shaikh Ajmat from Balasore, Odisha to the hot seat.<\/p>\n
During the episode, Big B asked the contestant: \u201cAlright. Shaikh Sir, you’re a teacher. You teach kids. What’s the subject?\u201d<\/p>\n
Contestant said: \u201cSir, I teach everything but I enjoy teaching mathematics and geography. And I believe that children find mathematics to be tough. So, I try to find new tricks and entertaining ideas so that kids don’t find it to be a burden.\u201d<\/p>\n
The contestant then displayed an interesting mathematical trick on a white board, leaving Amitabh amazed with his skills.<\/p>\n
The actor went on to say, \u201cwhere were you in 1956? I was studying maths and didn’t know this. Had you been there, I would’ve learned something. I think you weren’t even born. I’m saying so because I don’t understand math.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI took up BSc in university. As I wasn’t getting admission elsewhere. I went to a couple of more places. I didn’t get admission in Delhi. So, someone told me that I might get it in Chandigarh. So, I went to Chandigarh on a cycle from Delhi. It didn’t take me long to cycle. I boarded the bus to Chandigarh and hung on the backside. And it dragged me all the way and I finally reached it. Then I got admission in Delhi in BSc,\u201d said the \u2018Don\u2019 actor.<\/p>\n
The actor added: \u201cThe first lecture for 45 minutes made me realise that I made a blunder. Science is a terrifying subject. So, I suffered for three years and then that book… What’s it called? A guide book. I memorised it and somehow became a graduate. But I don’t remember anything. So, had I found you then I would’ve probably been guided well.\u201d<\/p>\n
