When Amitabh Bachchan asked how Dr Sen felt about being the first contestant from the islands, Sumit replied, “This is a proud moment because there is no household in Andaman and Nicobar where this show is not watched."
After a few frames, Sumit also mentioned that since childhood he had heard that the actor visited his native place once a long time ago. The Goodbye actor confirmed and said that he had visited the place.
Samit also added that he still can’t believe that he is sitting in front of Big B. “It’s like sitting in outer space where a bright star is sitting in front of me," he said. The Jhund actor appreciated his words.
The caption of the Instagram Reel read: “Dr Samit Sen ji, aap sirf Andaman and Nicobar Islands ki shaan hi nahin, par unki prerna aur abhimaan bhi hain!"
