Kumar Mangalam Birla Reveals Father’s Strict Condition on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ Finale

Mumbai, India – Indian billionaire businessman and Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group, Kumar Mangalam Birla, is set to appear on the season finale of “Kaun Banega Crorepati 17” tonight, December 29th, at 9 pm IST on Sony TV and Sony LIV.

A recently released promo offers a glimpse into Birla’s conversation with host Amitabh Bachchan, where the business magnate shares insights into his early career journey. Birla reveals that his father, Aditya Vikram Birla, insisted he start from the bottom and pursue a Chartered Accountancy (CA) qualification before joining the family business.

In the promo, Bachchan remarks on Aditya Birla’s philosophy of starting from the bottom, questioning how this applied to someone born into such a privileged environment. Birla explains that he initially resisted his father’s demand for him to become a CA, expressing a desire to pursue an MBA instead. However, his father remained firm, stating there would be no role for him in the company without the CA qualification. Birla even appealed to his grandfather for intervention, but to no avail. Ultimately, he acceded to his father’s wishes.

This season of “Kaun Banega Crorepati” has featured a star-studded lineup of guests, including Javed Akhtar, Diljit Dosanjh, Farhan Akhtar, Rishab Shetty, Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, Manoj Bajpayee, and Kartik Aaryan-Ananya Panday, who have shared personal stories and engaging moments with Amitabh Bachchan.
