The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 welcomed three Paralympic gold medallists: Navdeep Singh, Sumit Antil, and Avani Lekhara who represented India at the recent Paralympic Games in Paris. Their stories of resilience and triumph undoubtedly touched hearts across the nation. Amitabh Bachchan welcomed them with an endearing introduction for all.
After welcoming the athletes to the hotseat, Amitabh Bachchan asked them how they felt about winning the gold medal in the Paralympics when the national anthem played on an international platform. Navdeep and Sumit said, 'Those are extremely emotional moments, we feel that the 8 long years of hard work is nothing in front of the medal at that time and it boosts us to work harder to get more gold medals for the country.'
Navdeep further adds, "We get represented by our country's name, that's an extremely proud moment." Big B further asked, 'Did you all sleep the night before the big day?' Navdeep added, "I couldn't sleep and at 3 am when I went near the stairs I found Sumit awake like me. Jo humne sapne khuli aankon se dekhe the, woh humein sone hi nahi de rahe the.'
After a brief introduction to the game's rules, they begin. The athletes easily answer the first few questions. When Big B asked the third question: Who among these was not in Stree 2?
A) Shraddha Kapoor B) Anushka Sharma C) Rajkummar Rao D) Pankaj Tripathi
Navdeep answers it correctly. Big B then asks them whether they get time to watch films. Navdeep revealed that he takes out time while Sumit said, 'No sir, after winning Tokyo 2020, I had been constantly training for more gold medals and being a defending champion there is a lot of pressure. We even have a different coloured chest number and people know that I am defending my medal. So amid that I haven't gotten any time.'
Big B revealed that he wasn't aware about the different chest numbers and lauded Sumit for his dedication to keep the winning streak on.
