While talking to the contestant, Amitabh said, “You are a teacher. “Are you strict or generous?”

To this, the ‘Sholay’ actor said: “Well, my experience… this is Jai-Ju. He is strict and generous at the same time.”

The 80-year-old actor said, “I have to go home too.” I don’t want to get beaten. So, when it gets tough, it’s better to stay inside. Stay locked in your room or go out for some time. It’s great when she’s generous. That’s the way she behaves towards her children and everyone else.

He further said, ‘He is very strict towards me. why do you ask me that? She will scold me when I watch this show with her.
