In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan made headlines with his strong stance against outdated gender stereotypes. During the show, a contestant named Krishna Selukkar compared her own unemployment situation to that of an unmarried woman, calling the latter a “burden” on the family. Bachchan, known for his wisdom and sensitivity, took this opportunity to address and correct this misconception.
A Powerful Message from Big B
Krishna Selukkar, who shared her struggles with job loss during the lockdown despite holding an engineering degree, drew an analogy between the burden she felt and the societal perception of unmarried women. She said, “If I say a girl without marriage is a burden on the family, sir, after one age, an unemployed boy is as much a burden.” Amitabh Bachchan immediately intervened to set the record straight.
With heartfelt sincerity, Big B responded, “Let me tell you one thing. A girl can never become a burden. A woman is a great pride. She is always a matter of respect.” His words resonated deeply with viewers, underscoring the importance of viewing women with respect and acknowledging their invaluable role in society.
Emotional Start to Season 16
The 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati premiered earlier this month on Sony TV, and Amitabh Bachchan’s emotional reaction during the first episode set the tone for the new season. Reflecting on the show’s impact, he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the audience. “Today marks the beginning of a new season. But today I am at a loss for words. And that is because no words have the capacity to express my gratitude for your love. I cannot come up with words to thank you for your prayers, which gave a new life to Kaun Banega Crorepati,” said Bachchan.
