Who will become a millionaire 16?
Two special guests, actor Vikrant Massey and IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma, will appear in ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’. Manoj Kumar Sharma’s mother, wife and son were also among the audience. In a conversation with host Amitabh Bachchan, the IPS officer’s mother complained that he never celebrates Diwali with the family. When he explains the reason for this, Big B praises him by crossing his hands as a sign of respect. In the recently released promo, Manoj Kumar Sharma’s mother complains to Amitabh Bachchan that he never celebrates any festival with the family at home.
Why doesn’t IPS Manoj celebrate Diwali?
When Big B asked him the reason for this, the IPS officer told him that joining the police meant leaving aside religion, caste or language as his focus was completely on serving the nation. IPS Manoj Kumar Sharma told ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’ host: “A police officer cannot celebrate any festival, sir.” I never celebrated Diwali. Once you wear the uniform, you no longer have religion, caste or language. You have to dedicate your whole life to the country. There is no fixed shift, 12 hours, 24 hours, sometimes we don’t come home for three days, sir.
The police are the protectors of society.
He adds: “A police officer, especially at a time when the entire society is celebrating and rejoicing, is expected to ensure that nothing happens to ruin their happiness.” They are agents of social change that bring changes in society.
Amitabh Bachchan paid his respects with folded hands
Along with applause from the audience, Amitabh Bachchan also shows his respect towards all police officers. Crossing his hands, he says: ‘Sir, today not only you but the entire public and I, all the police officers are in front of me. We join hands and say thank you very much to all of you. For those who don’t know, 12th Fail, inspired by Anurag Pathak’s book, stars Vikrant Massey and Palak Lalwani and is based on the inspiring journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi.
