“Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai”, reveals Amitabh Bachchan on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16

MUMBAI: Sony Entertainment Television’s knowledge-based game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16, brings an exciting twist to the format with ‘India Challenger Week’. This week, out of 10 play-along contestants, the top two from the Fastest Finger First (FFF) round will compete in the ‘Jaldi 5 Buzzer Round’ to secure their place on the hotseat. The winner of this buzzer challenge will then continue with the game, starting with the money tree at the 6th question. Among the standout contestants of India Challenger Week is Priyanka from Delhi. Her journey from academia to India’s most iconic game show is a testament to how determination and knowledge can open doors to extraordinary opportunities.  

During her time on the hot seat, Priyanka brought an unexpected and delightful twist to the game and fired a series of witty and candid questions at Amitabh Bachchan, starting with, "Aapka ghar itna bada hai, agar remote kho jaye toh kaise dhoondhte hain?" Mr. Bachchan, known for his quick humor, replied,  “Seedha set-top box ke paas jaake usse control karte hain!"

As the conversation unfolded, Priyanka continued to ask relatable, middle-class family questions, turning the intense quiz show into a laugh riot. Priyanka asks “Sir, middle-class families mein jab remote kho jata hai, toh ghar mein ladai ho jaati hai. Kya aapke ghar mein bhi aisa hota hai?” Amitabh Bachchan responds, “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”

Priyanka moves on to next question, “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?” Amitabh Bachchan says “Bilkul kehti hain. Keh deti hain, ‘Apne Aap ko le aana ghar!’”

Priyanka moves on the last question, “Sir, kabhi ATM jaake cash nikala hai aur apna balance check kiya hai? Amitabh Bachchan replies with a chuckle, “Na toh hum apne paas cash rakhte hai, na kabhi ATM gaye hai, kyunki hamein samaj nahi aata ke kartein kaise hai.Lekin Jaya ji ke paas hota hai. Main unse paise maangta hoon. Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai, toh 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.”

Priyanka’s playful questions and Mr. Bachchan’s witty responses turned the episode into a delightful mix of humor and heartfelt moments, proving yet again why Kaun Banega Crorepati is beloved by millions.
