'Kaun Banega Crorepati 16': Host Amitabh Bachchan reveals his wife Jaya Bachchan's role in deciding family meals; says 'After 50 years, she knows our habits'

In the latest episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 16', viewers are introduced to a fresh group of contestants eager to test their knowledge and win big. Host Amitabh Bachchan warmly welcomes each contestant and sets the stage for an exciting game. He kicks off the first round, "Fastest Fingers First," where contestants compete to answer questions quickly.

During the show, Amitabh Bachchan discussed how food management and meal choices at home are chosen by his wife. Amitabh told the contestant that if the contestant answered ten questions correctly, they would be invited to his home for dinner, just like he did for 5-6 contestants last season. When asked who cooks at home, the actor replied that his wife manages the meals and decides what to make each day. He added that after 50 years, she knows their habits and always makes sure there’s food, even if you don't want then also you should eat.

Big B also shared fun anecdotes from his film career and discussed classic movies like 'Sharaabi'. Recalling the film’s creation, Amitabh shared how it all began during a flight. He said, “We were traveling to the West Indies from New York, with Kalyanji-Anandji’s orchestra, and Prakash Mehra was with us. During the flight, Prakash Ji brought up the idea for 'Sharaabi'. He outlined the entire story while we were in mid-air and asked for my thoughts. I simply said, ‘Okay, let’s think about it.’ When we returned, he had already written the script. However, the dialogues were incredibly long—some spanning 2-3 pages.”

Curious about the challenges of filming, Dinesh asked more questions, leading to an amusing anecdote from Mr. Bachchan. In his signature style, he humorously said, “Nahi, nahi, suniye toh... Abhi kahani khatam nahi hui,” before sharing what he told Prakash Mehra: “You made me an alcoholic for the whole movie, and it takes time for an alcoholic to speak. If I were to deliver these 4-page dialogues, the film would span multiple hours. Please shorten them.” Prakash Ji agreed, and the dialogues were condensed.

In the past episodes, contestants like Santoshgiri Bawa and Ananya Vinod have brought their unique stories and talents to the hot seat. Santoshgiri impressed Amitabh with his mimicry skills, while Ananya dedicated a rap song to him, creating a light-hearted atmosphere.

'Kaun Banega Crorepati 16' remains a platform not just for winning prizes but also for sharing stories, laughter, and learning moments.
