A new promo of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 has gone viral, showing host Amitabh Bachchan hilariously reacting to a contestant’s story about meeting his doppelganger. The contestant, a car salesman, recounted how a man resembling the superstar visited his showroom, creating chaos.
“This gentleman who looked exactly like you came to our showroom. Coincidentally, I sold him the car. There was a huge traffic jam outside because people thought Mr. Bachchan was there. Everyone, including the staff, clicked selfies with him,” the contestant shared, leaving the audience in splits.
Amitabh appeared shocked but amused, responding with a humorous quip, “Hamare naam se na jaane kya kya ho raha hai (What all is happening in my name),” which drew laughter from both the contestant and the audience.
The promo showcases the enduring charm and widespread influence of Amitabh Bachchan, even as he celebrated major career milestones in 2024. He starred in the blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD, grossing ₹1100 crore worldwide, marking his first Telugu film in five years. Additionally, he made his Tamil debut with Vettaiyan alongside Rajinikanth, although the film grossed only ₹260 crore against a ₹300 crore budget.
The KBC 16 promo underscores Amitabh’s iconic status, with fans so enamored that even his lookalikes can draw massive crowds. The show continues to captivate audiences, blending humor, knowledge, and heartwarming moments.
