The most awaited event at IIT Bombay for all tech lovers turned somewhat disappointing on Saturday. The first humanoid Robot to get citizenship -Sophia was to speak to a bunch of students at IIT Bombay's Tech-fest on Saturday afternoon.
As the crowd of over 3 thousand people waited with baited breath, Sophia , draped in a sari began its demonstration, answering the initial few questions smartly and impressed the audience with her wits. However after the initial questions , she stopped responding to questions. When the anchor asked her opinion about spending so much money on robots when there are so many issues she just stopped talking.

The organisers then announced that they would have to stop the event due to a technical issue. As the crowd was about to leave the hall, the organisers then said that they would resume in a while. When the program finally started again, Sophia was back to talking amidst much cheer from crowd.The organisers also arranged a second slot as there was a huge queue outside the auditorium to watch Sophia.
