Rishab, who is riding high on the acclaim for his film Kantara Chapter 1, recently joined Amitabh Bachchan on the hot seat during the Juniors Week episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati<\/a> 17.<\/p>\n

The conversation soon turned personal, with Rishab opening up about his childhood and journey in the film industry. Meanwhile, Amitabh revealed his daughter Shweta\u2019s initial reaction after watching his film Kantara.<\/p>\n

Talking about Amitabh\u2019s tradition of writing letters to actors, Rishab said, \u201cI\u2019ve heard you write letters to actors after their performances. It would be a blessing if one day you wrote one for me.”<\/p>\n

Responding to that, Amitabh confessed that he has not yet watched any of Rishab\u2019s films, going on to share, \u201cFirstly, I must apologise for not having seen your films yet you know how our schedules are. But my daughter Shweta went to see Kantara, and she couldn\u2019t sleep for a few days. She was blown away by your performance, especially the last scene. She kept asking how you got into that zone.”<\/p>\n

On the show, Rishab also spoke about meeting his wife Pragathi and initiating a conversation with her by sending her IMDb rating. Looking back, Rishab said, \u201cMy film had released, but no one recognised me then. I was pushed aside, and that\u2019s when I saw her. I sent her my IMDb rating on social media since there was some voting going on, that\u2019s how we started talking. Within a year, we got married. I have two kids now, and she\u2019s been my biggest support.”<\/p>\n
