Amitabh Bachchan recently opened up about his academic performance in his Bachelor of Science degree. The megastar graduated in 1962 from Kirori Mal College at the University of Delhi. In a recent episode of the game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, the host revealed that he scored only 42 per cent in BSc. According to an IANS report, Big B said, “BSc. kar liya hum bhi bina jaane ki kya hota Bsc. Science main ache number aaye toh hum apply kardiye. [I did BSc. without knowing what it was. I scored well in Science and hence applied for it.]” The superstar also shared that he realised he had made a mistake in the very first lecture. “10 saal main humne seekha tha science main scope hai woh 45 minutes main khatam kardiya. [I had always heard that there is scope in science. In just 45 it changed everything.],” he said.
Amitabh Bachchan also recalled how he failed in his first attempt. He said, “Pehli baar jab gaye toh fail hogaye… Firse jaakar diya jawaab toh badhi mushkil se 42 percent aaya humara. Bach gaye. [First time I failed… Then when I attempted with great difficulty I scored 42 per cent.]”
