keen
to

Samit
then
shared
his
experience
of
being
on
the
show
and
said,
“I
take
my
identity
from
the
islands
of
Andaman
and
Nicobar
since
I
was
born
there,
and
I
am
proud
to
represent
the
islands
on
national
television
and
on
a
prestigious
show
like
‘KBC’.
It
was
an
absolute
dream
come
true
to
be
playing,
sitting
opposite
Mr
Amitabh
Bachchan,
and
talking
to
him
about
my
hometown.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“I
will
take
back
these
cherished
memories
of
being
a
part
of
one
of
Indian
television’s
most
historic
shows,
especially
during
the
Diwali
celebrations.
Meeting
Mr
Bachchan
was
a
privilege,
and
having
people
know
about
Andaman
and
Nicobar
was
an
honour.”
