Kaun Banega Crorepati continues to mark its 25-year milestone with a special edition, Gyaan Ka Rajat Mahotsav. The iconic Amitabh Bachchan welcomed four of India’s most popular digital creators: Kamiya Jani, Tanmay Bhat, Bhuvan Bam, and Samay Raina. The episode celebrated the evolving world of digital storytelling and its impact.
Amitabh Bachchan set the tone by emphasizing the power of the digital space. He described, “The digital world is that kingdom where all creators are kings,” appreciating the way technology has reshaped entertainment. The conversation quickly took a lighthearted turn when he jokingly inquired how he could boost his online presence. He quipped, “How can people all around the world talk about me?” His playful question sparked laughter among the guests.
Bhuvan Bam, quick on his feet, pointed out that their combined followers didn’t even match Mr. Bachchan’s massive audience. He humorously suggested that they were the ones in need of advice. “Sir, you’re beyond social media—there isn’t a single person who doesn’t know Amitabh Bachchan,” he added. Kamiya Jani chimed in, saying that even without effort, the legendary host had a vast digital reach. She added,” If you post a dance video on ‘Jumma Chumma’ on Instagram, all of us would be left jobless!”
The episode was not just about laughter. The guests shared their journeys, highlighting the dedication required to thrive in the digital world. They reflected on their struggles, growth, and how perseverance led them to where they are today. The discussion seamlessly blended inspiration with entertainment, bringing together the traditional charm of cinema with the innovation of the digital era.
One of the most touching moments came when Bhuvan Bam spoke about a deeply personal experience. He recalled the time when his father suffered a brain stroke, leading to memory loss. He shared that during his father’s recovery, an episode of KBC became a turning point. He remembered sitting beside his father in the hospital, only to hear him mention Bhuvan’s name as if he were absent. For weeks, his father struggled to recognize him, leaving Bhuvan heartbroken.
He shared, “Koi purani dilli se related sawaal tha. Baba dekh rahe the aur option aane se pehle unhone jawaab de diya.” That moment sparked a conversation between them, gradually bringing back his father’s memories. Bhuvan revealed that he had even shared the incident on social media. Amitabh Bachchan listened intently and acknowledged how proud parents feel when their children succeed.
The episode beautifully highlighted the connection between generations. The warmth of Amitabh Bachchan’s presence combined with the dynamic energy of digital creators made for an unforgettable evening.
