On KBC 16, When Parth Recited the Poem of the Great Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, Amitabh Bachchan Was Lost in Nostalgia

Mumbai: On *Kaun Banega Crorepati* Season 16's *Juniors Week* on Sony Entertainment Television, young contestant Parth Upadhyay, also known as #MythoKing from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, impressed host Amitabh Bachchan with his vast knowledge of mythology. The 9th-grade student, who considers acting his superpower, shared a fascinating mythological story based on the *Ramayana*, specifically from the *Sundarakanda* and *Yuddhakanda* chapters. During his performance, Parth’s impressive knowledge left the veteran actor so proud that he stood up to applaud him.

In a fun conversation with Amitabh Bachchan, Parth called acting his superpower, to which Amitabh jokingly replied, “Acting is not my superpower, it's just a way to find a job. I just manage to earn a little through acting.”

Later, Parth reminded Amitabh of his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s close friend, the legendary poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, and recited Dinkar’s famous poem *Veer Ras Ki Rashmi Rathi*. His flawless delivery and expression captivated the audience. Praising his performance, Amitabh Bachchan shared, "Let me tell you, Dinkar Ji and my father were very close friends. They would often spend time together and visit each other, even at our home. The way you recited it was just like him, with the same energy! Yes, his voice had a deeper tone, but your diction and voice were truly remarkable!”
