Amitabh Bachchan celebrates Ankita's ambition to empower family and society on KBC 16

MUMBAI: Sony Entertainment Television’s knowledge-based game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16, is back with the thrilling India Challenger Week. This special week features an exciting twist: the Jaldi 5 Buzzer Round. Out of 10 contestants participating in the play-along, the top two from the Fastest Finger First (FFF) round will compete in this buzzer challenge to earn their spot on the hot seat. The winner of this challenge will then continue the game, starting with the 6th question on the money tree. Among the contestants is Ankita Singh from Delhi, who is preparing for administrative services and runs a hydroponic farming startup.

Amitabh Bachchan curiously asks about hydroponic farming, and Ankita enthusiastically explains the concept to him. She playfully suggests that with the vast terrace of his bungalow, Amitabh Bachchan could easily start his own organic farm if he wanted to. When Mr Bachchan asks her where she has seen his terrace, she replies that she spotted it on social media. He laughs and says, “I don’t have a big terrace; I actually live in a small house next to the one you’ve seen!” As their conversation continues, Ankita shares her aspirations of preparing for administrative services, expressing her desire to become a ‘kamayi ka zariya’ for her family.

Amitabh Bachchan asks Ankita about the financial requirements in agriculture, particularly regarding her future. She responds, “You can start from a small scale, but to grow effectively, you’ll need a larger setup, which requires funding. KBC is a fantastic platform that could help make this possible for me.”

Mr. Bachchan responds warmly, “It’s inspiring that you want to enter public service, and I admire that you’re also thinking ahead with a backup plan. Iss tarah ki soch, ki apni kamaayi se na sirf aapna jeevan par aapne parivaar ka jeevan bhi sambhaal saku, yeh bahut accha khayal hai. I wish you all the best on your journey.”

Tune in to India Challenger Week with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16, at 9 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television!
