Amitabh Bachchan has returned to TV as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16. The sixteenth season of the quiz show started airing on August 12. The 5th episode of the show started with rollover contestant Simran Bajaj. In the episode, Simran correctly answered Amitabh Bachchan’s introductory questions. Amitabh Bachchan initially asked Simran Bajaj a super question, which she answered correctly and got ‘Dugnaastra’ but despite playing well, she could win only Rs 1 lakh 60 thousand from the quiz show. Simran Bajaj could not answer the question asked for Rs 3 lakh 20 thousand. The question on which she quit the game is as follows: The cultural landscape that includes the centres of production of which plant in Colombia was given the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011?
The options are: A. wheat, B. coffee, C. tea, and D. sugar. The correct answer to the question of Rs 3 lakh 20 thousand is: coffee.
Simran Bajaj knew the answer to the question, but she was not sure about the answer. After she quit the game, Big B asked her to answer the question. She chose option B, Coffee, which was correct.
Contestant Simran, who had reached KBC 16 in a wedding dress, quit the game for fear of losing the winning amount and returned home with Rs 1 lakh 60 thousand.
After quitting the show, she spoke of a big thing. She said, “I have learned a big lesson from this show that it is very important to have confidence in yourself.”
Interestingly, Simran had reached the set of KBC wearing a wedding dress, for which she gave an interesting reason. The contestant told Big B that she did not want to get married, yet she got married. Actually, Pandit Ji had told her that if she gets married, many options will open up for her in life. She called her husband lucky for her; she got married in May this year.
The creators previously uploaded a promotional video of the show in which Amitabh Bachchan stated that there are at least ten cameras on set, and that every movement is being filmed. He jokingly stated, “Bada complicated hai ye set, Hazzaro light hai, computer se chalti hai. Camera has 10-12 Koi kuch bhi karoge, padka jayega (the set is quite complicated; there are 1000 lights operated with computers). There are about 10-12 cameras. “Everything will be documented. The caption for the promo said, “KBC mein itne cameras hain, ki har masti-bhara pal hota hai capture!” (KBC has so many cameras that every fun-filled moment gets captured.)”
The grand premiere episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 featured Bengaluru-based Utkarsh Baxi.
