Speak more Hindi, urges Amitabh Bachchan

Kaun Banega Crorepati, apart from being known for an iconic quiz show, is very well known for the impeccable Hindi that Bollywood’s superstar Amitabh Bachchan speaks on the show. Mr. Bachchan’s command over the language is evident when he interacts with the contestants on the Hot Seat and the audience alike. As the 10^th season of the show gets ready to premiere on Monday, 3^rd September, Mr. Bachchan was recently asked if he felt if the new generation is using lesser Hindi and getting more westernized with the use of language. Mr. Bachchan was prompt to reply, “Yes, I agree with that observation. When it comes to KBC, I am not trying to force anything up on anyone, but the language of the show is Hindi and hence I speak Hindi. If this inspires the younger generation to speak in Hindi more, it is good.”

He further added, “These days, when I get a script that is written in Roman Hindi, I return it to the person, and ask him/her to write it in Devnagiri script.”

When he was probed about the language used in the Bachchan household, the actor said with a smile, “We speak in a universal language… we speak in Hindi and English both. Some of our family members are from North India, some from the Southern land and some from West Bengal. So if you come to our house, we appreciate, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali and every other language.”
