KBC 16 Promo
The promo of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 shows a son who is being ridiculed by his parents for quitting his job due to his wife's transfer. The contestant says he believes his wife is more capable and he must support her. In another promo, a retired bank manager drives a taxi ignoring his children's concern about what others will think. He responds by saying that people will think he still has the “drive” post-retirement. Both promos end with the signature line of Amitabh Bachchan questioning one's choice at every step.

Shah Rukh Khan used to bid the participants goodbye by hugging them. Once a female contestant refused to hug SRK and made it clear that she doesn't like him as an actor. A clip of the particular episode went viral on social media and SRK fans got angry for the same.
What’s new in KBC 16?
The core format of the show remains the same, although the latest season features some interesting twists. The recent addition has never been seen before and it is called Super Sawaal.
Super Sawaal gives contestants the power ‘dugaanastra’ that they can use between questions 6 and 10. It allows them to double the amount of these questions. Super Sawaal is simply a bonus question that will be asked after the fifth question and the twist is that the contestant wouldn't be able to use their lifelines. If the answer is correct they can double the amount of money.
How to Participate?
The registration process for the KBC 16 started earlier this year. However, if you missed that, the Sony TV periodically opens registration throughout the season.
