Sumit said that he would definitely inform the KBC 13 host if he clears the entrance tests to become an IAS officer. Amitabh jokingly said, “IAS mein sahi kaam kijiyega aur kabhi bhi humse galti ho jaaye toh pakadiyega mat (Do good work when you become an IAS officer and spare me if I ever make a mistake).” Blushing, Sumit replied, “Nahi, nahi (No, no), sir.”

Delhi-based Sumit won 25 lakh on KBC 13. He was stumped by a question on history, worth 50 lakh, and chose to quit the show. The question he was unable to answer was: Considered to be one of the oldest democracies in the world, the people of Malana village in Himachal Pradesh believe themselves to be descendants of which ruler's soldiers?

The four options were Alexander, Porus, Prithviraj Chauhan and Maharana Pratap. The correct answer was Alexander.

Amitabh made his television debut with Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2000. He bowed out of the third season, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, but returned to host all the subsequent seasons.
