Mumbai: In the 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, viewers can look forward to another exciting and heartwarming episode as Pardeep Kaur Benipal, from Rajasthan, takes the hotseat. Pardeep, who completed her MBBS in China, charms both the audience and Amitabh Bachchan with her vibrant personality. She fondly requests Big B to call her “Peri” as she doesn’t like her full name. Mr Bachchan, always quick with a playful response, affectionately calls her “Pyari,” creating a delightful rapport.
Adding to the engaging banter, Pardeep cheekily asks Amitabh Bachchan to join her for a coffee date. Taken by surprise, AB obliges, calling for coffee to be brought to the stage, and with his characteristic wit, says, “Please change the lights!” setting the tone for the date!
In a candid moment, the legendary Amitabh Bachchan also addressed the audience with his signature warmth and humility stating, “I arrive at work in the morning and leave at night, but, I always enjoy listening to you all. When I arrive for work in the morning, the first thing I do is ask about all of you. I’m not just saying this because you’re here—I genuinely mean it. I ask if the audience has arrived, whether they’re seated comfortably, if they’ve been taken care of, how long they’ve been sitting, and if they’ve had water. You all sit here while we prepare, and we don’t like to waste your time. That’s why we ensure that as soon as you’re settled, we immediately start the show.”
