Kumar Mangalam Birla’s lighthearted TV moment
The family focused moment from Davos came weeks after Neerja Birla’s husband, Indian billionaire industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla, made his television debut on Amitabh Bachchan’s popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 on December 29.
During the episode, Kumar Mangalam Birla interacted with audience members and fielded a question about his children. A man from the audience asked, “You have three kids which one are you closest to?” Birla responded with a smile and first asked, “Do you have kids?” When the man replied in the affirmative, Birla quipped, “Then how can you ask me this question?” prompting laughter across the studio. He then added, “Main teeno ke bahout kareeb hu. I am very proud of them.”
