Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) has its own fan following. There are many people who are waiting to get a chance to be on the "hot seat" in front of the host Amitabh Bachchan. So, when Mr Bachchan announced the name of a contestant who won the 'Fastest Finger First' qualifying round in the 14th season of the show, he got excited, removed his shirt and started waving it. The gesture is seen in the clip posted on Twitter by the makers of the show. The man's act left Mr Bachchan surprised.

The clip starts with Mr Bachchan announcing the name of Vijay Gupta, who won the 'Fastest Finger First' round and was set to sit in front of the superstar on the quiz show. An excited Mr Gupta removed his shirt, hoisted it in the air and then threw it at the audience before going to his wife to give her a hug on making it to the hot seat. 

The contestant asked the audience to not stop clapping as he has got a chance to sit in front of Mr Bachchan. As he finally arrived to sit in front of the actor, Mr Bachchan requested him to wear his shirt. 

"Bhai sahab, kameez to pehen lijiye (Sir, at least wear your shirt)," said Mr Bachchan. "Sahi hai sir, sahi hai. Bhai sahab kameez jaldi se pehne to. Humko darr hai ki aur vastr na utar jayein inke (Let him wear his shirt. I am afraid to he might lose more clothes)," the actor and show host further said.

Mr Gupta then leaves the stage and Mr Bachchan also follow him backstage to bring him back. 

The gesture reminded some social media users of former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly waving his jersey at Lord's in 2002.
