Amitabh Bachchan is trending after he schooled a Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 contestant for calling unmarried women a “burden.” Contestant Krishna Selukar, who revealed that he lost his job during the Covid-19 pandemic despite holding an engineering degree, made a controversial statement on the show. He said, “Agar mei kahu bina shadi ki ladki gharwalo par bojh hoti hai na Sir, ek umar hone ke baad berozgar ladke utna hi bojh hote hai (If I say that an unmarried woman is a burden to her family, then after a certain age, an unemployed man is also a burden).”
Amitabh Bachchan didn’t let the comment go unnoticed and said “Ek baat batye aapko. Ladki joh hai bojh kabhi nai ban sakti. Bahut badi shaan hoti hai mahila. (Can I tell you one thing? A woman can never be a burden for the family. She is always an honour).“
Earlier, the legendary Amitabh Bachchan shared a photo from the first day of shooting Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 on his Instagram. He also posted on X, writing, “Yes, back and still no change in routine – the run is on.” In his blog, Big B added, “And the timing is ahead of its time, so there is a pleasant feel to the DAY… my greetings a bit early… The first day of the 16th season of KBC… and the nerves, the apprehension, and the tension of changes and the audience’s reception all rolled into one big bag of dhag, dhag, dhak in the region of the dhak dhak.”
Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “Day over slumber over over over .. a long over .. and now just lounging with the idea of an early night because the timetable says so .. but never without a share of the accessories of the day – the pictures. Take a look:
Amitabh Bachchan has been the host of KBC since its inception in 2000, except for the third season. The third season was hosted by superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
