Strotra takes extra time in every work
Strota told about his shortcomings that he takes a lot of time to do his work. Explaining the reason for this, Stroka said that girls take more time to bathe and apply make-up. I also chew food slowly and eat it, so it takes time. After this he suddenly asked Big B – What is Amitabh Bachchan’s eating routine? On which Amit ji told that by the time we reach home it is 12 o’clock in the night…we eat whatever we get at night.

Harshil Sharma reached the hot seat. Parents told that they have come from Dongawali from Maharashtra. His son is very sensitive and caring. Harshil passed the first stop without any lifeline. Very good at mathematics. When Big B thought of testing him and asked him the table of 83, the contestant recited the entire table in 2 seconds.
Amitabh Bachchan asked many very tough questions
After this, when Amitabh was asked the calculation of very difficult questions, he gave correct answers to all the questions. Then Amitabh told his story..in which he told that Babu ji used to take him for morning walk in his childhood. Very scared of him. Because he used to ask us to recite Pahadha in between but we could not do it. He could speak the word ‘2’ with great difficulty. But when the skull was hit every day. After this, I memorized the tables till 5 or 10 very hard. But you can speak the table of any number up to 100. When asked how he remembered it, Harshil told that he has taken training in Abacus. By visualizing it they multiply rapidly.
