The quiz questions are different from the usual way. Participants will not only need to know the answer but also understand the situation, think carefully, and apply their critical thinking skills.

The upcoming Kaun Banega Crorepati is going to start with a bang with a star-packed first episode. Stars Aamir Khan, Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol will be present along with Amitabh Bachchan for the premiere of the show. It is expected to fill the episode with unforgettable moments.

Aamir Khan will chat with Amitabh Bachchan about the new theme also. Aamir in a newly released promo, asks Big B what viewers will have to think about. Amitabh in his trademark witty style, shows that this time the questions may be more difficult than they look.

The addition of Sunny Deol on KBC for the first time in the new season and the presence of Preity Zinta also add to the exhilaration of the launch.

KBC 18 is already a craze amongst viewers with the return of host Amitabh Bachchan and popular stars. And a new “Sochna Padega” theme will also make the quiz more engaging as it will test how people use their knowledge in the real world. The launch seems to be looking like a new beginning while maintaining the beloved kabaddi of KBC.
