Send Push
The upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 will welcome IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and Vikrant Massey. The actor's film 12th Fail was inspired by the IPS officer and now he is back with yet another challenging role and project, The Sabarmati Report. The IPS officer is accompanied by his mother, wife and son. The episode is set to have some amusing anecdotes and one of them is when Amitabh Bachchan asks IPS officer Manoj, "The ones who are working for the country as Policemen, how do they celebrate festivals like Diwali?"

Manoj's mother replied, "He is never there in any festival. He has never celebrated Diwali, Shravan or any other festival. Even if I want him to, he wouldn't be there." Manoj adds, "Sir policewala koi tyohaar nahi mana pata. Till date I haven't celebrated a single Diwali. Once you wear Khakhee, then you don't have a religion or caste, you dedicate your whole life to the country as a Policeman. There is no specific time for the duty, some days you work for 12 hours, some days it's 24 hours and sometimes you don't come home for 3 days."


Manoj further added, "A Policeman is expected when the citizens are coming out to celebrate a festival then they have to protect them from any mishap. Basically, Policemen are social changers, they bring change in the society." Amitabh Bachchan is impressed by the IPS Officer and says, "Today, not just in front of you but even to all the Police officers of the country, I fold my hands and thank them from the bottom of my heart."



Earlier in the episode, Junior Tritee Ranjhana expressed her wish to join the Indian Navy, the young girl was extremely passionate about serving the country. She shared how the ad for the Indian Naval made her feel that the profession was her calling and she must pursue it. Big B even lauded her for her choice, he said, "Wow! It’s rare to see young people with such a strong vision and dreams like yours. Serving the nation is a truly noble ambition."


The young girl reached the 14th question worth Rs 50 Lakhs in the game, which was: The Prime Minister of which country was involved in the drafting of the original preamble to the United Nations Charter?


A) United Kingdom B) South Africa C) Australia D) Canada
