During the conversation, Amitabh asked: “How do you find time to watch films?â€

Amitabh asked him: “So, you watch Marathi films.Who is your favourite actor or actress?â€
Contestant replied: "My favourite film is 'Sairat'. And actress is Prajakta Mali."
Amitabh then asked: “How big a fan are you of Prajakta?â€
Ajay went on: “A big fan. She's my crush. Not just a crush, she's a model too. She is well-accomplished. She is into films, web series, comedy shows, writes poems known as 'Prajaktaprabha.' And she does yoga too. She belongs to a middle-class family and settled in Mumbai. She has build her house, her brand of jewellery. And she's working in the Marathi industry. It's an inspiring story.â€

And I wish that you play well today. In fact, I'd like to tell you that if you win today then I'll come to meet you. Wish you all the best.â€
