Amitabh Bachchan is back as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, and this time, he has promised to make the game tougher. After teasing the new season with “Is baar sochna padega”, the makers have now dropped a promo featuring Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol as the first guests. Aamir is curious to know what exactly contestants will have to think about this season, prompting a witty response from Big B.
Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol and Amitabh Bachchan’s fun banter
The promo shows Aamir asking Big B, “Aapne kaha hai aapne promo mein, sochna padega, btaa dijiye sir kya sochna padega? (You said in the promo, ‘Sochna padega.’ Sir, please tell us, what will we have to think about?)” The host replies, “Aisa hai sir mujhe dekhne se aapko koi fayda nahi hoga (Looking at me won’t benefit you).” Their fun banter continues, with Big B saying, “Itna asaan nahi hone waala hai (It’s not going to be so easy).” Aamir agrees and adds, “Waqai sochna padega (We definitely will have to think more).”
This will mark Sunny Deol’s first appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati. The actor will be joined by producer Aamir Khan to promote their upcoming film, Batwara 1947. Fans expressed excitement at seeing Sunny on KBC for the first time. One social media user commented, “It’s so good to see both Aamir & Sunny sitting on hot seat!”
