After an outstanding episode of Kaun Banega Crirepati 16 with Varun Dhawan, it yet again continues its journey with witty contestants. The ‘Sapnokamanch’ told another life story and served as a launching pad.
In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, the game began with Vineet Bharuka, a dedicated Chartered. When Amitabh Bachchan, asked Vineet what he planned to do with his winnings, he advised, “Usually when you have a wife or fiancée, it’s wise to hand it over to them.” Vineet agreed, saying the amount would go to his wife, who playfully added, “Everything goes straight into my account.”
The lighthearted conversation continued as Vineet’s wife shared a little more about him. She revealed, “Vineet loves singing,” and requested Big B for a duet with her husband. Big B humorously responded, “Mera toh phata hua baans hai”, yet he encouraged Vineet to sing. Vineet, began singing the classic, “Raat kali ek khwab me aayi…” and Big B, not missing a beat, quipped, “Aapki raat kali peechhe baethi hai,” hinting at Vineet’s wife seated behind him. Vineet finished his round with Rs 3,20,000.
After Vineet’s departure, the game continued with the Fastest Finger First round, where contestants Ankita Singh and Sameer Kumar Tripathi competed for the hot seat. Ankita, a Civil Services aspirant, succeeded.
In conversation, Big B asked Ankita about her dreams and aspirations. She explained, “I have seen a lot of ups and downs in life. There was a depression phase in my life and I thought financial independence is very much necessary. I thought of setting up an agricultural start up. I plan to build Hydroponic farming. You can plant them without mud and only water is required and that water is also recycled. You have big terrace and can set it up there itself.” Ankita even suggested that Big B could try hydroponic farming on his terrace, to which he humorously responded, “Who said I have a big house? Whatever they show in the media, don’t believe it. Mera ek chhota sa kuthiya hai uske saamne. Just enough space to grow an onion or tomato,”
When Amitabh Bachchan inquired about the financial back up she said, “You can start from a small scale, but to grow effectively, you’ll need a larger setup, which requires funding. KBC is a fantastic platform that could help make this possible for me.” Mr. Bachchan praised her thought and said, ““It’s inspiring that you want to enter public service, and I admire that you’re also thinking ahead with a backup plan. Iss tarah ki soch, ki apni kamaayi se na sirf aapna jeevan par aapne parivaar ka jeevan bhi sambhaal saku, yeh bahut accha khayal hai. I wish you all the best on your journey.”
As the questions continued, Ankita faced one about sports, which led Big B to ask if she had an interest in athletics. She replied, “I love cricket and basketball. I was the only girl on the colony’s male cricket team during college.” Reflecting on her love for the sport, she remarked that with more support, she might have pursued cricket professionally.
Finally, Ankita faced a tough question and decided to quit. Before leaving, she chose option A for her last question, which turned out to be correct. This lucky guess brought her total winnings to Rs 25 lakh, and 80,000.
The show, once again, offered inspiration and laughter, reminding viewers of the importance of resilience and the beauty of simple joys.
