Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, continues to be more than just a quiz show. The program often features contestants and Big B exchanging heartfelt anecdotes, creating deeply emotional moments. In a recent episode, a contestant broke down in tears after a video showcased her family's financial hardships, moving everyone with her story.

The contestant revealed in the episode that her mother works as a domestic helper, while her brother juggles jobs as a delivery boy and grocery store cashier, all to support her dream of becoming a Chartered Accountant. The video also highlighted her mother's health struggles and the family’s burden of a ₹5–6 lakh loan. The contestant expressed her determination to earn enough so her mother can finally rest and stop working.

As the video concluded, the contestant broke down in tears. Moved by her emotions, the ever-compassionate host, Amitabh Bachchan, left his chair to console her and gently wiped her tears. He encouraged her to stay strong and motivated her to focus on the game, uplifting her spirits with his reassuring words.

In a recent episode, renowned musicians Gurdas Maan and Shankar Mahadevan graced the show as special guests, adding a musical charm to the evening.

During their interaction with Big B, Punjabi folk legend Gurdas Maan reminisced about performing at Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta's wedding. He fondly recalled receiving a heartfelt token of appreciation from the megastar, a gesture he continues to cherish deeply.

Gurdas Maan shared, "I am feeling a lot of love and respect today. I recall being in Delhi for Shweta’s wedding, and our group performed there. Shenshah (referring to Mr Bachchan) stood in front of us. After my performance, he blessed me with a 500-rupee note. I still treasure the note with me."
