KBC under fire again: A look at the show's most controversial moments
Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), the popular Indian quiz show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, is back. However, in less than a week, the show has courted controversy. For the Independence Day special episode, the show featured Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, who were the face of Operation Sindoor and led the media briefings. The internet is criticising the show for using the armed forces for 'PR' and 'political mileage'.advertisementThis is not the first time that Kaun Banega Crorepati has landed in controversy. Here are five times when the show made headlines:1. The Zubeida mix-upIn KBC 16, a question about the life of Zubeida, star of India's first talkie 'Alam Ara', sparked outrage. The episode, featuring Varun Dhawan and the directors of 'Citadel: Honey Bunny', claimed that Zubeida died in a plane crash with Maharaja Hanwant Singh of Jodhpur. However, journalist-filmmaker Khalid Mohammed, Zubeida's son, called out the show for confusing her with another woman, demanding a public apology for the 'research gaffe'.2. Backlash over inviting Samay Raina as a guestLast year, the makers of KBC were slammed for inviting comedian Samay Raina, host of India's Got Latent, where YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia made a crude incest joke that sparked anger on social media. Viewers accused the makers of poor guest vetting and even urged Amitabh Bachchan to 'cleanse' himself after sharing the stage with Raina, despite the episode itself being light-hearted.3. FIR against Amitabh Bachchan and KBC makersPerhaps one of the most heated controversies came in KBC 12's Karamveer episode featuring Bezwada Wilson and Anup Soni. A Rs 6.4 lakh question on Dr BR Ambedkar's burning of the Manusmriti drew criticism for 'hurting Hindu sentiments', with BJP MLA Abhimanyu Pawar filing a complaint. He accused the makers of trying to create discord between Hindus and Buddhists and promoting 'leftist propaganda'. An FIR was registered against the makers of the show and Bachchan for the same.4. Railway official landed in legal and financial trouble after appearing on KBCDuring KBC 13, Desh Bandhu Pandey from Kota, Rajasthan, won Rs 3.4 lakh but later faced disciplinary action from his employer. The Railway Administration accused him of being absent without sanctioned leave to participate in the show, which also resulted in his salary increment being banned for three years.5. When #BoycottKBC trended on XOne of the biggest controversies that KBC got embroiled in occurred in 2019. The show faced criticism for a question about the contemporaries of Aurangzeb, referring to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj simply as 'Shivaji'. This omission sparked a social media outrage and #BoycottKBC trended, eventually leading to an apology from the show's producers and Bachchan will be seen welcoming Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Commander Prerna Deosthalee on 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 17'. The upcoming episode has been shot as an Independence Day special and will air on August 15.- EndsMust Watch

‘Most spoilt and privileged woman': Kangana Ranaut slams Jaya Bachchan for pushing man trying to take selfie
BJP MP Kangana Ranaut slammed Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan, known for her no-nonsense personality, for pushing a man trying to take a selfie with her at the Constitution Club in Delhi on Tuesday. Without mincing her words, Kangana called Jaya the 'most spoilt and privileged woman.' Sharing the viral video of the incident on her Instagram stories, the BJP MP claimed that people put up with her 'tantrums/nonsense behaviour just because she is Amitabh Bachchan Ji's wife.' Insulting both Jaya Bachchan and the Samajwadi Party, Kangana Ranaut said, 'That Samajwadi topi looks like a rooster comb, while she looks like a fighting cock!!' 'Such disgrace and shame,' she added. Kangana Ranaut's IG story In the viral video, Jaya Bachchan can be seen pushing the man away and saying, 'Kya kar rahe hai aap (What are you doing?) What is this?' In the video, Jaya's fellow parliamentarian and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi is also seen standing near her. When Jaya shoves the man, Priyanka turns to look around and then walks towards the Club. Earlier, Jaya Bachchan blasted people in public. During the special debate on Operation Sindoor in the Parliament, the Rajya Sabha MP slammed the members of the treasury bench for interrupting her and said, 'Either you speak or I will speak.' Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was sitting beside Bachchan in the Rajya Sabha, also received a minor scolding from the Samajwadi Party leader. When Bachchan asked the treasury bench not to interrupt her when she was speaking, Chaturvedi was seen gesturing with her right arm. This caused Bachchan to turn towards the Sena UBT MP and say, 'Priyanka, don't control me.' Also, in July-August 2024, Jaya Bachchan got infuriated in the Rajya Sabha when she was introduced as 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' by the Upper House chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar. Expressing her strong disapproval of the way she was introduced, she said, 'I, Jaya Amitabh Bachchan, want to say this that I am an artist, and I understand body language and expressions. And sir, your tone is not acceptable. We are colleagues, sir. You may be sitting on the Chair...'
