Amitabh Bachchan’s wit and generosity took center stage in the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 when contestant Ujjwal Dutta made a series of bold requests.
KBC 16 contestant Ujjwal Dutta charmed Amitabh Bachchan with his bold requests for a phone, shoes, and even a luxury car.
For over two decades, Kaun Banega Crorepati has been a stage for inspiring, emotional, and often entertaining moments. The latest episode, aired on January 27, brought yet another delightful exchange between host Amitabh Bachchan and a spirited contestant, Ujjwal Dutta, that had the audience in splits.
Ujjwal, a UPSC aspirant from Delhi, took the hot seat and showcased his vision board for 2025, where he had set his eyes on a brand-new mobile phone. Curious, Amitabh Bachchan asked if he didn’t already own one. Ujjwal’s candid response—”No, I plan to buy it from my KBC winnings”—left Big B impressed. Moved by his sincerity, Bachchan graciously promised to gift him a new phone.
But Ujjwal didn’t stop there. With a playful grin, he confessed, “Please don’t mind, sir, but my eyes are always on your shoes.” Amused, the legendary host immediately offered to give him “two or three pairs”, eliciting laughter and applause from the audience.
However, the real twist came when Ujjwal pushed his luck a little further. “Sir, you’ve fulfilled my wish of getting shoes and a phone, but I have another passion—cars. You own some incredible supercars. Would you mind completing my dream of owning one?” he asked, leaving Amitabh Bachchan momentarily speechless.
Gathering himself, Bachchan delivered an iconic response with his signature wit, “Bhaisaab, hum sach bata dete hain, gaadi hum nahi denge (Brother, let me be honest, I will not give you a car).” His candid yet humorous remark sent the audience into fits of laughter.
However, in a heartwarming gesture, the megastar made Ujjwal another offer. “But you can take a ride in my car whenever you want. I’ll personally drive you around,” he assured, making the contestant’s day even more memorable.
This wholesome exchange quickly went viral, with fans praising Amitabh Bachchan’s humility and humor. The veteran actor’s ability to keep the show engaging while forming genuine connections with contestants continues to be a major reason why Kaun Banega Crorepati remains a fan favorite.
Now in its 16th season, Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian adaptation of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. To mark the milestone, Bachchan welcomed digital creators and comedians such as Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, Kamya Jani, and Bhuvan Bam for a special episode, further reinforcing the show’s enduring legacy in Indian television.
