Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Amitabh Bachchan Playfully Asks Contestant Out For A Chai Date

The latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati premiered last month and has once again hooked the viewers to their TV screens. The show has maintained its appeal by providing opportunities to varied competitors from around the country to earn a significant amount of money. But what also entertains the audience is the host Amitabh Bachchan’s candid talk with the contestants. He is often seen sharing fun anecdotes from his life or taking an interest in the contestants’ lives. In the latest episode, the actor was seen playfully asking contender Sakshi Panwar for a chai date while she praised him on the show.

In the recent episode, Sakshi Panwar, who hails from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and is a student preparing for government examinations, admired Amitabh Bachchan’s perfume. She expressed, “When you came to give the gift, you were standing next to me. Sir kya khushbu aari thi aapse. Please aap bataega aap kaunsa perfume use karte hai. Mei woh perfume khareedungi (Sir,you were smelling good. Please let me know which perfume you were using, I will buy the same).”

Amitabh Bachchan also playfully flirted with Sakshi and stated, “Sakshi ji ek baat bataye aapko? Khel wel ko mariye goli, chaliye hum aur aap chai peete hai, zara ghoom kar aate hai. Mata pitaji shama chahenge (Sakshi, can I tell you something? Leave the game aside. We both should go and have a cup of tea, and stroll. Your parents should forgive me for this).”

However, the contestant could not have enough of admiring the megastar. She further told Amitabh Bachchan that he looked “very handsome” and she could not take her eyes off him. She further added that he did not need makeup at all. Amitabh Bachchan agreed to the same and asked her to tell this to the makeup artist on the set, who constantly gives him touch ups in between shoots.

Sakshi Panwar used all of her lifelines on the show and reached up to Rs 12,50,000. Later she decided to quit playing since she was unsure of the answer.

Amitabh Bachchan has hosted KBC since its inception in 2000, with the exception of the third season, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 airs Sony TV every Monday to Friday at 9 pm.
