In today’s (August 23) episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16, Amitabh Bachchan deeply touched contestant Mitesh Nandu. Mitesh, who works in stock marketing, was asked by Amitabh how he impresses his one-sided lovers. Amitabh noted that love comes in many forms, and not everyone finds true love, which seemed to be the case for Mitesh.
Amitabh asked Mitesh, who is from Kutch, about how he expresses his feelings to his one-sided love. Mitesh responded with a poetic shayari that captures the pain of unrequited love:
“Kaise karta hu mei, mere liye tum kaun hoh? Tum van ka sangeet hoh, meri jeet hoh manmeet hoh. Subah mei tum, shaam mei tum. Mere liye hasna bhi tum. Mere liye rona bhi tum. Mere liye pana bhi tum. Mere liye khona bhi tum. Jaha bhi jau tumko mei pau. Jissei dekhta hu har ghadi, woh tasveer hoh tum. Tum hoh mere din raat mei, tum hoh meri har baat mei.”
(How do I express what you mean to me? You are the melody of the forest, my victory, my soulmate. You’re my morning and my evening. You are my laughter and my tears. You are what I seek and what I lose. Wherever I go, I find you. The picture I see every moment is you. You’re in my day and night, in every word I say.)
Amitabh playfully commented that after such heartfelt words, there might be a line of people waiting for Mitesh as soon as he exits the show. This conversation began when Amitabh asked Mitesh about his various talents and whether he attracts women with them.
Mitesh gave a relatable response, saying, “In the middle-class, boys have crushes, not girlfriends. It’s one-sided love.”
Amitabh, who is married to Jaya Bachchan, then reflected on how the term “crush” has changed over the years. He shared that in his time, a crush referred to crushing a piece of paper, but now it has taken on a different meaning.
