In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 featuring guests Farah Khan and Boman Irani, a question came which was about Ratan Tata. Soon after the duo gave the correct answer, they all started talking about Ratan Tata. Amitabh Bachchan took a moment to express his deep admiration for Ratan Tata. The legendary actor struggled to find the words to fully convey what a remarkable individual Tata is.

Bachchan finally remarked,

“Kya aadmi the, main bata nahi sakta. (What a human he was, I cannot even tell you). Such a simple human being,”
