All Contestants, Questions, Answers - 2026 New Kaun Banega Crorepati 18

 

Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 launch date: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, tighten up your seat belts Amitabh Bachchan is all set to take you a roller coaster ride with Kaun Banega Crorepati season 18.

Sony Entertainment Television has released two new promos of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, with host Amitabh Bachchan taking this season's central theme, 'Sochna Padega'. I couldn't help but gush over Big B's playful persona as he set the tone for a season where reaching the right answer will require more than just memory.

Amitabh Bachchan Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 Promo Is Too Cute To Be Missed

In the first promo, Senior Bachchan can be seen walking into a café and browsing the food menu. The Deewar actor asked the waiter, "Bhaisahab, aapke yahan Indian achha milta hai ya Chinese?"

Instead of answering immediately, the waiter pauses and replies, "Sir, aap hi ki baat se yaad aaya... sochna padega." Amused by the response, Amitabh Bachchan says, "Ohh... Smart guy hai. Are suniye bhaisahab, Chinese chhod kar sab kuch le aana idhar," playfully opting for the Indian menu.

I love how the playful exchange showed the way the phrase has found its way into even the simplest of conversations.

In the second promo, Amitabh Bachchan is seen tending to the plants on his balcony as he playfully strikes up a conversation with them, asking, "Hello, Jhaad ji, itni khaatirdaari ke baad bhi aap mein phool khilega ki nahin?"

Anticipating the now-familiar response, he said, "Ab yeh mat kahiyega humse ki sochna padega..." before remarking, "Lagta hai baat phail chuki hai. Achha hai bahut."

Mr, Bachchan then revealed the thought behind the new season, saying, "Kyunki is baar sirf jawab yaad rakhna hi kaafi nahin hoga. Sahi jawab ke liye sochna padega."

The central theme of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 has captured the attention of the audience. The KBC 18 aspirants will have require caereful thought and approachg while giving the the right answer. A mere quick recall won't suffice.

With these two promos, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18 introduces its refreshed format through relatable situations, reinforcing that this season.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 will hit the airwaves from August 10 at 9pm on Sony Entertainment Television.

Kannada serial Maryadi Rama - New Star Cast, New Story, Latest Update

Jeevitha Vashishta on playing Aishwarya in Maryadi Ramanna: I was scared viewers wouldn't accept me as a modern young woman after Goddess Parvathi

Jeevitha Vashishta, who was last seen as Goddess Parvathi in her devotional television show is now seen as Aishwarya in the Kannada serial Maryadi Ramanna. The transition has been one of the most important milestones in the actress’s career as it has allowed her to show a whole new side of her performance,’ said the actress in an interview with ETimes.
Jeevitha says that she is enjoying the transition from playing a divine character to a contemporary young woman.
"For me, the transition from playing Parvathi to taking up Aishwarya's role has been a smooth one on all counts. It has given me a unique opportunity to show a different side of me on screen and it has challenged me as an actor,” she says.

She continues to say that she found it easier than she imagined to step into the new role.
"Once I got Aishwarya's personality, I merged easily into her character," she says.
"I didn't have to do a lot of outside changes, because I concentrated on understanding how she felt and her point of view. It is not given to every artist, early in her career, to draw two characters so opposed in the beginning. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been offered this role while I was still shooting my previous show,” she says.

But Jeevitha says she worried how the public would react to such a dramatic shift.

“I was really scared,” she says. "The audience loved me as Parvathi and many of them connected with the character. Hence, I was not sure if they would accept me in this avatar when I suddenly took the form of a modern girl. I had my reservations,” she admits.

However, the actress is happy with the audience response for the serial and her character.

"The love for Aishwarya has been overwhelming. It's always nice when people like what you do when you try something so different from what you've done before. I am also happy to see that Maryadi Ramanna is building a good rapport with the audience," she says.

Jeevitha feels that Aishwarya has given her a lot more creative liberty than her previous role.

“Aishwarya is a character with so many layers,” she says. "She is subject to all emotions, including happiness, anger, sadness, and love, and responds in accordance with the circumstances. In playing her I have been allowed to explore a much larger range of emotion. Playing a goddess comes with certain restrictions on my expressions and look,” she explains, “but this role gives me an opportunity to experiment with my performance, and even my style.”

The actress has opened up about her personality being quite different to her on-screen characters. She says, 'I am a fun-loving and cheerful person in real life. I love to make people smile and laugh. But she says, "I do get angry sometimes, especially if something really gets on my nerves." She laughs.

“I am thankful for the strides made in juggling my professional and personal lives,” says Jeevitha.

"I am currently effectively managing my professional life. I like this phase of learning and developing as an actor because each project offers me something new. I just want to continue doing things that challenge me and allow me to grow as a person,” she concludes.
