Does Jaya ma'am also ask you to bring something?" amitabh bachchan responded, "Absolutely! She tells me, 'Just bring yourself home!'"

The contestant also inquired about various topics, one of which was: "Sir, have you ever withdrawn cash from an ATM and checked your balance?" amitabh bachchan replied, "Neither do we keep cash on hand nor have we ever gone to an ATM, as I don't understand how to use it.
