Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Amitabh Bachchan Gets Emotional, Folds His Hands
Amitabh Bachchan is back with a new season of the iconic show Kaun Banega Crorepati. The actor is reprising his role as the host and the first episode aired on Monday. Before the show actually starts, Big B gets emotional as he thanks people for their support during KBC’s journey. The emotional message left the audience in tears.
At the launch of Kaun Banega Crorepati season 16, Big B said in Hindi that he is a little short of words today as he believes that no word has the capacity to express gratitude “for your love”.
“I cannot find words to thank you for your prayers that gave new life to Kaun Banega Crorepati, that lit up this stage again and that reunited a family and enabled me to be present among you. I salute the people of this country for the resurrection, reconstruction and rebirth of KBC,” the legendary actor said before folding his hands.
He also said: “This stage is yours, this match is yours, and this season is yours alone. To respect your love, I will be there for you with twice as much effort. And I believe that you will continue to reassure me by holding my hand.”
The latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati has some changes in the format. Bachchan has revealed that the hot seat contestant can now opt for ‘Dugnaastra’, which allows them to double the amount they play for. The contestants get a ‘super sawaal’.
But there is a catch, the question will not have any options. The first contestant of the show, Utkarsh Baxi, opted for this option in the first episode where he doubled his bet at the Rs 25,00,000 podium but unfortunately the answer was wrong and he went home with just Rs 3,20,000 prize money.
