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

Amul Marks 50 Years Of Sholay With A Nostalgic "Yeh Dosti" Topical
Sholay, one of the most iconic Bollywood films, will complete its golden jubilee on August 15 this year. The Ramesh Sippy directorial, featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra in the lead, premiered in 1975. Amjad Khan, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachchan and Sanjeev Kumar also played iconic characters in the cult movie that redefined Indian cinema with its gripping storyline, impeccable acting and unforgettable dialogues that have remained a part of pop culture even decades later. As Sholay inches towards its 50th anniversary, dairy brand Amul has joined the celebratory fervour a bit early. On Monday, August 12, Amul, known for its creative and relatable topicals, rolled out yet another delightful illustration marking Sholay's significant milestone. The picture showcased an iconic scene from the film featuring Amitabh Bachchan's Jai and Dharmendra's Veeru. If you remember, the duo's ride-or-die friendship was one of the highlights of the movie. It was depicted beautifully in the Yeh Dosti song, sung by the legendary Kishore Kumar and composed by Manna Dey. In that sequence, Jai and Veeru ride a motorcycle, showcasing their unbreakable bond. Amul was spot-on in capturing the sentiment using a similar motorcycle visual. It showed an animated image of Amitabh Bachchan riding the bike, while Dharmendra, sitting behind him, held a half-eaten butter-smeared toasted bread in one hand and another slice of bread in the other. The text layout, blending humour with wordplay, read, ' Poore Pachaas Saal (A full fifty years). Amul Blockbuster.' The caption said, 'Amul Topical: Celebrating the Golden Jubilee year of the mass entertainer, Sholay.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amul - The Taste of India (@amul_india) Previously, Amul charmed audiences by paying tribute to director Sean Baker's romantic comedy Anora. The film dominated the 97th Academy Awards with an impressive five wins. The topical showed the movie's lead cast, Mikey Madison, sharing the stage with the director and holding their golden Oscar statuettes. The tagline 'The Ultimate Honora!" was Amul's playful twist on the word 'honour' and the film's title. Meanwhile, the pun-intended image text, which read, 'Bakers Love It,' was a nod to Sean Baker and the brand itself. Check out the creative topical here.
