Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
season
12
kick-started
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic
last
week,
and
is
giving
its
audience
a
welcome
distraction
from
the
woes
of
these
challenging
times.
Popular
host
Amitabh
Bachchan
is
back
on
our
television
sets
with
his
warmth
and
classic
dialogues.
As
a
host,
Big
B
has
a
unique
way
of
making
contestants
comfortable
enough
to
open
up
about
their
interesting
personal
stories.
The
latest
episode
which
was
aired
on
October
5,
2020,
featured
contestant
Pradeep
Kumar
Sood,
a
Senior
Divisonal
Manager
from
Amritsar,
Punjab.
When
Pradeep
shared
how
he
fulfilled
his
mother's
dream
of
him
being
on
KBC,
Amitabh
got
emotional.
The
video
detailing
of
Pradeep's
life
showed
how
it
was
his
mother's
wish
to
see
him
on
the
game
show.
Pradeep
also
added
that
his
mother
used
to
conduct
quizzes
for
him
in
the
hopes
that
it
would
prepare
him
to
make
it
to
KBC.
He
also
shared
that
his
mother
used
to
get
angry
when
he
wouldn't
get
a
chance
to
participate
in
the
show.
This
made
Big
B
laugh
and
congratulate
Pradeep's
mother
through
the
camera.
He
also
told
her
that
his
son
is
performing
well
and
joked
that
if
her
son
wins,
he
will
have
to
share
half
of
it
with
Amitabh.
Pradeep
took
home
Rs
12,50,000
after
quitting
at
a
difficult
question
which
was
-
'The
farthest
place
on
earth,
which
fictional
character
of
Indian
origin,
was
named
after.'
Although
he
guessed
the
answer,
'Captain
Nemo'
right,
he
decided
not
to
take
any
chances
and
pull
out
of
the
game.
