KBC 13: Pratik Gandhi joins Pankaj Tripathi on new episode, watch him floor Amitabh Bachchan with Scam 1992 dialogue

A new Shandaar Shukravaar episode promo for Kaun Banega Crorepati season 13 is out. The latest guests on the show will be actors Pankaj Tripathi and Pratik Gandhi.

In the promo, Pratik floors host Amitabh Bachchan as he runs lines with him from his hit show, Scam 1992. “Locha, lafda, jalebi aur fafda ko Gujarati ki life se koi nahi nikaal sakta (No one can take scams, tussles, jalebis and fafdas out of a Gujarati’s life),” Pratik says in his Harshad Mehta avatar. Amitabh reacts, “Ye sab dialoguebaazi hai. Isme bahut risk hoga, aapko maalum hai (These are all over-the-top theatrics. It will be very risky, do you even realise it)?” Pratik then fires back with his famous line, “Risk hai toh isk hai (Love is all about taking a risk).” At this, Amitabh broke into applause saying ‘aaye haaye’ and Pankaj laughed with Pratik.
