Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: New promo features Amitabh Bachchan introducing contestants to the new ‘Super Sawaal’

Sony Entertainment Television's beloved quiz-based reality gameshow Kaun Banega Crorepati, is all set to premiere its sixteenth season on August 12. Featuring the legendary Amitabh Bachchan as the host yet again, the channel recently unveiled an interesting KBC 16 promo to help audiences under the game better. In the teaser, the makers have introduced everyone to the ‘Super Sawaal’ to enrich the contestants’ gameplay as they will face questions which help them take a step closer to their dreams.

Along with the tagline ‘Zindagi hai, har mod par sawaal puchegi, jawaab toh dena hoga (Life will ask questions at every juncture and you will have no choice but to answer)’, sparking introspection on profound life truths. As the promo of KBC 16 hit the tube, it surprised fans of the show with an interesting element that has been added to the quiz show in the form of ‘Super Sawaal’.

It is a bonus question that appears after the first safe haven (Q5) and will have no options and no choice of using a lifeline. If answered correctly, contestants get the opportunity to use the 2x superpower or Dugnastra. The superpower enables the contestants to press the buzzer and double the winnings of a particular question of their choice from Q6 to Q10. So, if a contestant chooses to use the superpower at Q9 (INR 1,60,000), and answers correctly, he/she ends up with a bonus amount of 1,60,000 that will be added to their final winning amount. However, they may not use any lifelines while playing the Dugnastra.
