Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: From Tanmay Bhat previously being a part of the show to Samay Raina roasting Amitabh Bachchan’s Sooryavansham; hilarious moments

One of the funniest moments of the episode was when Samay poked fun at the channel’s constant re-airing of Sooryavansham.

The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 was a star-studded affair, featuring some of India’s most beloved digital content creators. Hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, the episode welcomed Bhuvan Bam, Kamiya Jani, Tanmay Bhat, and Samay Raina. What followed was a delightful mix of humor, heartfelt stories, and memorable moments.

Amitabh Bachchan kicked off the episode by acknowledging the massive influence of digital creators in today’s entertainment industry. He remarked, “The digital world is that kingdom where all creators are kings,” setting the tone for an engaging conversation.

Bhuvan Bam and Kamiya Jani were the first to take the hot seat. Big B, known for his quick wit, joked about Bhuvan’s YouTube channel name, saying, “BB Ki Vines—Naam bolte hi biwi yaad aajati hai.”

Amitabh then asked Bhuvan about his initial career aspirations. Bhuvan revealed, “During college, I knew what I didn’t want to do—study. I asked my parents for three years to figure out my passion, and that’s when I started creating content.”

He shared a heartwarming story about how his parents discovered his online videos. “One day, my mom’s colleagues asked her, ‘There’s a guy named Bam—wo aapka ladka toh nahi hai?’ That’s when my parents found out about my content,” Bhuvan recounted.

Kamiya Jani shared an amusing anecdote about having to redo a bungee jump just for a perfect shot, and Bhuvan resonated with her story, recalling a similar situation in Russia.

Bhuvan then asked Amitabh Bachchan why he didn’t become the sponsor of Kaun Banega Crorepati, to which Big B humorously replied, “I don’t have the money to sponsor it.” Bhuvan playfully suggested renaming the show to Amitabh Banayenge Crorepati, leaving everyone in splits.

The episode also took an emotional turn when Bhuvan recalled how he hit 10 million subscribers on YouTube while his father was in the hospital after suffering a brain stroke. This bittersweet moment struck a chord with the audience and Big B himself.

Following Bhuvan and Kamiya, Tanmay Bhat and Samay Raina took the hot seat. Their journey on the show was filled with hilarious anecdotes, witty banter, and touching revelations.

Tanmay reminisced about his past experience with Kaun Banega Crorepati. “I wanted to be on the show for so long, and when I finally got the chance, I was in the audience. I even participated in the audience poll, but while 99% of the audience voted correctly, I was the 1% who got it wrong,” he laughed.

Samay Raina also had a personal connection with the show. A clip was played showing his name as an answer option in a previous episode, making the moment even more special for him.

When asked about his journey into content creation, Tanmay shared, “I used to be overweight in school and had no friends. So, I started listening to Johnny Lever’s cassettes, learning jokes, and eventually made friends. That’s when I realized that humor could be my career.”

As they played, Tanmay and Samay encountered a Rs 3,20,000 question about the parents of Usha Vance, the wife of US Vice President JD Vance. Unsure of the answer, they used their Dugnaastra lifeline and followed the audience poll, correctly selecting Andhra Pradesh.

During the Super Sandook round, they won Rs 50,000 and revived their audience poll lifeline. The emotional highlight of the episode came when Samay’s mother teared up, expressing gratitude for being able to meet Amitabh Bachchan. Samay lightened the moment with a joke, keeping the atmosphere lively.

One of the funniest moments of the episode was when Samay poked fun at the channel’s constant re-airing of Sooryavansham. He joked, “Sir, maine aapki pehli picture dekhi Sooryavansham, dusri dekhi Sooryavansham, teesri bhi Sooryavansham! Jab kal aapko pata chal gaya tha ki kheer mein zehar hai, toh aaj phir kyu khaayi?”

Even Amitabh Bachchan couldn’t contain his laughter. He played along by reciting his iconic dialogue from Shahenshah, “Rishte mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hain, naam hai Shahenshah.” Samay immediately responded, “Aapne beta bana hi diya hai toh property mein thoda hissa? Sirf 20%!” His witty remark had the entire set roaring with laughter.

For the Rs 12,50,000 question, they used their Double Dip lifeline. The question was: The Hollywood movie Inside Man, starring Denzel Washington, opens with which iconic Hindi song? Their first choice, Dum Maro Dum, was incorrect, but they redeemed themselves by correctly selecting Chaiyya Chaiyya.

For the Rs 25 lakh question, they used their final lifeline, Audience Poll. The question was: Along with the seven islands of Mumbai, which Mediterranean port city was part of the dowry received by King Charles II? The audience votes were closely split, and Bhuvan Bam and Kamiya Jani advised them to quit. Before leaving, they guessed Algiers, which turned out to be incorrect; the right answer was Tangier.

Tanmay Bhat and Samay Raina concluded their journey on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 with winnings of Rs 12,50,000, dedicated to charity. Their time on the show was a perfect blend of comedy, nostalgia, and knowledge, making it one of the most entertaining episodes yet. Amitabh Bachchan thoroughly enjoyed their company, appreciating their humor and quick wit, ensuring this episode was truly unforgettable.
