The 16th edition of Kaun Banega Crorepati will premiere on Sony LIV.
KBC 16 Promotion
The promo for Kaun Banega Crorepati season 16 shows a son being ridiculed by his parents for quitting his job due to his wife’s transfer. The contestant says that he thinks his wife is more capable and that he should support her. In another promo, a retired bank manager drives a cab ignoring his sons’ concern about what others will think. He responds by saying that people will think that he still has the “drive” after retirement. Both promos end with Amitabh Bachchan’s signature line questioning one’s choice at every turn.
Who will become Crorepati in the first season?
The first season of Kaun Banega Crorepati premiered in 2000 with Amitabh Bachchan as the host. He continued to host the show except for the third season in 2006, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan used to bid farewell to contestants by hugging them. Once, a contestant refused to hug SRK and made it clear that she did not like him as an actor. A clip from that particular episode went viral on social media and SRK’s fans got upset about it.
What’s new in KBC 16?
The basic format of the show remains the same, though the latest season introduces some interesting twists. The latest addition has never been seen before and is called Super Sawaal.
Super Sawaal grants contestants the ‘dugaanastra’ power which they can use between questions 6 and 10. It allows them to double the amount of these questions. Super Sawaal is simply an extra question that will be asked after the fifth question and the twist is that contestants will not be able to use their lifelines. If the answer is correct, they can double the amount of money.
How to participate?
The registration process for KBC 16 began earlier this year. However, if you missed out, Sony TV periodically opens registration throughout the season.
