Actor Aamir Khan, who, along with his wife Kiran Rao, was a guest on the Bengali version of ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire,' won a whopping Rs.1 crore on the game show hosted by Sourav Ganguly.
The actor-turned producer donated the money to Saraswati Mandir Trust for children.
He used his all lifelines before reaching the final stage on Ke Hobe Banglar Kotipoti .
The star couple were the first to win the amount on the game show.
When Ganguly said that Aamir's answers for the last two posers — about the emblem within the Hyderabad Nizam's first flag and India sharing the longest boundary with which neighbouring country — were bang on target, Kiran said: “He is like this always, very clear in thoughts and precise with keen interest in history and geography. He never gets worked up in a situation.”
Conversation on the show, aired on the former Indian skipper's birthday, steered towards Aamir's latest film Delhi Belly .
Joking that it's time for item girls to pack up, Aamir, 46, said that his I hate you, like I love you number in the film is a tribute to the disco era of the 1980s.
“The dance number is my tribute to that golden era of Bappida [Lahiri] and Mithunda [Chakarvarty]. This is to all those who belonged to that era — Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Jeetendra and Govinda.”
To a question by Ganguly, Aamir said he would not want children to see Delhi Belly “as it is an adult comedy, but very youthful.”
