Kaun Banega Crorepati is hosted by Amitabh Bachchan

The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 brought inspiring stories, emotional moments, and engaging banter with host Amitabh Bachchan. The episode began with rollover contestant Nazam Nizarali Trikamani from Bhuj, Gujarat. A B.Com Honours student and aspiring Chartered Accountant, Nazam shared how his KBC call prevented him from sitting for his CA intermediate exams. When Big B humorously warned him, “Aisa na ho ke KBC ke wajah se gadbad ho jaye,” Nazam replied earnestly, “KBC is more important. This stage gives an opportunity to fulfill dreams. We’re from a middle-class family, and there’s a loan to clear. This will help.”

Nazam’s journey was packed with challenges and emotional revelations. Using a lifeline, he answered the Rs. 3,000 question about squash correctly. Big B, in his trademark style, explained the game with enthusiasm, “Bahut badiya game hai… Like the seat you’re sitting on gets heated, the ball also heats up and hardens.” When asked how he knew so much about squash, Big B cheekily revealed, “I have played the game before.”

Nazam’s social media journey and personal anecdotes struck a chord. Discussing Gen Z culture, Big B joked, “I don’t know why and how they got named Gen Z, but inn poori generation ko social media ne lappet lappaat ke rakha hai.” Nazam, who writes shayaris for heartbroken lovers, spoke about his breakup and how he helps others dealing with heartbreak.

Nazam also shared his family’s financial struggles during Covid, revealing that they sold his mother’s jewelry to renovate their house. “Living was more important,” he said. His gameplay was commendable as he correctly answered the Rs. 1,60,000 question using the Double Dip lifeline and took home Rs. 12,50,000. He quit at the Rs. 25 lakh question about National Sorry Day, guessing the wrong answer.

Next on the hot seat was Milansingh Pradyumansingh Jethwa, a Panchayat Sachiv from Porbandar, Gujarat. Milansingh impressed Big B with his singing talent, prompting praise: “You can excel in this field too.” The conversation turned to fitness when Milansingh asked Big B about his gym routine. The host shared, “I never had muscles. Now at 83, no matter what I do, I don’t get muscles, but I just walk and run to stay fit.”

Milansingh won Rs. 60,000 in the Super Sandook round and ended his game at Rs. 3,20,000, becoming the next rollover contestant. The episode was a blend of inspiration, laughter, and unforgettable moments with Big B.
