Sony Entertainment Television’s Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 continues to engage audiences with its innovative twists, and this week’s India Challenger Week has been no exception.
The format now pits the top two contestants from the *Fastest Finger First* (FFF) round against each other in a high-energy *Jaldi 5 Buzzer Round*. The winner earns a spot on the hot seat, starting their journey at the 6th question of the money tree.
Among this week’s contestants was Priyanka from Delhi, whose journey from academia to the hot seat became a delightful spectacle. Priyanka’s unique approach brought humor, wit, and relatability to the game, creating unforgettable moments with host Amitabh Bachchan.
The Fun Begins with Relatable Questions
Priyanka broke the ice with a playful query: “Aapka ghar itna bada hai, agar remote kho jaye toh kaise dhoondhte hain?” Mr. Bachchan, quick on his feet, replied, “Seedha set-top box ke paas jaake usse control karte hain!”
The banter continued as Priyanka asked, “Middle-class families mein jab remote kho jata hai, toh ghar mein ladai ho jaati hai. Kya aapke ghar mein bhi aisa hota hai?” Mr. Bachchan humorously responded, “Nahi, Devi ji, humare ghar mein aisa nahi hota. Do takiye hote hain sofa par, remote unmein chhup jata hai. Bas wahi dhoondhna padta hai.”
Heartwarming Insights into Bachchan’s Personal Life
Priyanka’s playful questioning turned more personal as she inquired, “Jab main office se ghar jaati hoon, toh mummy bolti hain dhaniya ya kuch aur le aana. Kya Jaya ma’am aapko bhi kuch laane ke liye kehti hain?” Mr. Bachchan quipped, “Bilkul kehti hain. Keh deti hain, ‘Apne aap ko le aana ghar!’”
She then asked if he had ever used an ATM to withdraw cash or check his balance. Laughing, Mr. Bachchan admitted, “Na toh hum apne paas cash rakhte hain, na kabhi ATM gaye hain, kyunki humein samaj nahi aata ke kartein kaise hain. Lekin Jaya Ji ke paas hota hai. Main unse paise maangta hoon.”
In a touching revelation, he added, “Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai. Raaste mein jab chhote bacche haar bechne aate hain, toh main unse kharidta hoon aur woh haar kabhi Jaya Ji ko deta hoon ya kabhi gaadi mein rakh leta hoon, kyunki unki mehek acchi lagti hai.”
A Perfect Blend of Humor and Heart
Priyanka’s candid questions and Amitabh Bachchan’s witty yet heartfelt responses made the episode a delightful treat for viewers. Their interaction turned the intense quiz show into a lighthearted celebration of everyday moments, reaffirming why Kaun Banega Crorepati remains a beloved fixture in Indian households.
