Speaking to the contestants, Amitabh said: “Since childhood… did you always aspire to do this or something else?”
Responding, the contestant said, “Sir, I wanted to join the Air Force. I attempted CDS and NDA exams many times. My NDA SSB interview was held in Allahabad but I could not clear it. “I was starting to get frustrated.”
The contestant further said, “Sir, everyone has a friend who talks about celebrities. A friend of mine told me about you that, ‘Amitabh Bachchan tried to join the Air Force.’ I want to know if this is true sir. Did you attempt CDS and NDA exams?
The ‘Zanjeer’ fame actor said, ‘When I passed from school. I didn’t know what to do. Right opposite my house in Delhi, there lived a Major General of the Army. I used to meet him often.”
“She told my father (Harivansh Rai Bachchan) one day, ‘I want this boy. I will ensure that he becomes an army officer.’ I thought I would do that. I tried it, but it was useless.”
The actor further said, “I also wanted to join the Air Force. We have a lot of similarities. Both of us studied B.Sc. Both of us aspired to join the Air Force. He rejected me as soon as he saw me, saying that I had long legs.”
