In the latest episode of KBC 16, the contestant, Shobhika Shree, shared a lot about her life, from personal to professional fronts.

Amitabh Bachchan advised Shobhika to fake health issues so that she can get off from work, and focus on her personal life. Amitabh recalled how he, too, used to fake illness and make everyone believe the same and avoid going to school when he didn't feel like going. The actor added that he used hacks and would often keep onion under his arms and pretend to get a fever. Such a confession left everyone laughing out loud. Amitabh can be heard saying:

"When I was in school I would fake my health issues and trick people into believing that I was ill so that I can skip school. There’s a hack that if one keep onion under their arms, then they would get fever and I would use it all the time.”

Amitabh Bachchan revealed he failed in his B.Sc and scored less than 50 percent later

Earlier, Amitabh Bachchan, in an episode of KBC 16, revealed that he bagged good marks in science, which made him opt for the science stream, as he heard that this stream comes along with a lot of opportunities.

People often question Amitabh Bachchan about why he still chooses to work even in his 80s.

The actor used a metaphor and revealed how creating a sandcastle and ensuring its permanency requires someone to work on the same continuously, and he has also been doing the same.
