In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, a contestant named Ritika Singh gave host Amitabh Bachchan a hilarious lesson on modern dating terms, leaving him both amused and confused. Ritika, who sat on the hot seat, didn’t just play the game but also introduced Amitabh to the world of Gen-Z dating lingo. From “ghosting” to “benching” and “breadcrumbing”, she explained it all, even causing Amitabh to crack jokes about his family.
Ritika Explains Modern Dating Terms to Big B
As the episode progressed, Ritika casually mentioned how she often advises her friends on relationships because the younger generation is facing a lot of challenges. She went on to explain dating terms like breadcrumbing, where people give hints but don’t commit to a relationship. When Amitabh jokingly asked if breadcrumbing meant eating bread, Ritika burst out laughing and clarified the term.
Abhishek Called the ‘Backup Plan’
One of the funniest moments of the episode came when Ritika talked about the concept of a “backup plan” in relationships. She boldly declared that if given a choice, Abhishek Bachchan would be her backup plan, which left the audience in splits. Amitabh, in his signature witty style, asked, “If Abhishek is your backup plan, who will be mine?” The entire studio burst into laughter as Amitabh playfully bantered with Ritika.
Jaya Bachchan Referred to as ‘Bench’
As the conversation continued, Amitabh asked Ritika to explain the term benching, to which she gave an amusing example. Ritika said that Jaya Bachchan could be his “bench,” sparking more laughter from the audience. Amitabh, taken aback by the comment, humorously responded, “There’s no space there, the bench is too small!”
Big B’s Reaction to Gen-Z Terms
Amitabh, clearly entertained yet baffled by the new dating vocabulary, admitted that he found it hard to understand these modern terms. He jokingly addressed Ritika’s parents, saying, “How do you manage to keep them in your house with all these new-age terms? They’re driving me crazy!” The light-hearted exchange continued, with Ritika and Amitabh sharing more laughs over the quirky dating terminologies.
The episode ended on a fun note, with the legendary actor expressing his amusement and bewilderment at the ever-evolving dating world of Gen-Z. “You’ve made me crazy, Deviji!”, Amitabh exclaimed, summing up his feelings in a single line.
