Mumbai: The cast of Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological drama ‘Ramayana’, Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Ravi Dubey, will appear on the special Diwali episode of the popular Amitabh Bachchan-hosted quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’.

Looking back on some fond memories of the festive season, Big B said, “Diwali ki ek he yaad hai, ki agar bagal wale ke yaha bomb fata hai, toh hamara bomb usse zyada tez hona chahiye (I remember one thing about Diwali: if a firecracker had gone off at a neighbour’s place, ours had to be even louder).”
