Chawla first sings the song, ‘Gum hai kisike pyaar main’ normally and then sings the same song with an accent. She also narrated how children in her neighborhood speak to her with an English accent. 

The contestant also requested Big B to sing a song but he shied away at first. Then, he started singing in an English accent like Kavita. During the episode, Kavita also requested Amitabh Bachchan to recite poetry for her saying, “Kavita ke liye aap ek kavita padh dijiye. Please sir.” 

Actor Amitabh Bachchan recited the famous lines from his movie saying, “Kabhi Kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hai.”

The 45-year-old has been dreaming of being on the show ever since it launched in 2000 as per Indian Express. In an interview with Indian Express, Kavita Chawla said, “This is one show where your knowledge is celebrated and you gain so much respect. I have always been interested to be a part of this show, and it’s been a dream come true moment for me. Last year, when I couldn’t reach the hot seat from the fastest finger first round, I was so heartbroken. I remember sitting on the set and crying my heart out. Amitabh Bachchan ji then came forward and told me not to be demotivated. His words kept echoing in my mind and I decided to come back, this time with the mission to win.”
