Amitabh Bachchan was mighty impressed with Monday's Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 contestant Usha Yadav. Big B took an instant liking for the housewife from his hometown Allahabad, who said the source of her knowledge is her observation power. Usha Yadav, who manages a household, said that cannot assign a designated time for studying during the day, hence she gains knowledge from anything and everything she sees. She revealed that she also has a keen interest in Indian politics and is clued to news channels at home. Usha Yadav won Rs 25 lakhs simply by saying she has spotted the answers to the KBC questions in the course of her daily chores - on Rs 10 notes or a newspaper cuttings.
Amitabh Bachchan, who said that the contestant inspired him, asked her about her wishes once she wins the prize money. Usha Yadav, who leads a simple life, cracked up some rude members of the audience by saying she would like to travel in and around Uttar Pradesh with her family. As the audience kept interrupting her with bouts of laughter, Usha Yadav appeared uncomfortable about sharing her plans when Big B came to her rescue. The show host sternly asked the audience to calm down saying: "Yeh humare hometown se hai!" Big B then told the contestant to not get distracted bu the audiences' reaction and look at him instead.
