Sony Entertainment Television has unveiled two new promos of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, with host Amitabh Bachchan taking this season’s central theme, ‘Sochna Padega’, beyond the hot seat and into everyday life. Through witty, slice-of-life moments, the promos highlight how the phrase has become a way of thinking, setting the tone for a season where reaching the right answer will require more than just memory.
In the first promo, Amitabh Bachchan walks into a café and, while browsing the menu, asks the waiter, “Bhaisahab, aapke yahan Indian achha milta hai ya Chinese?” Instead of answering immediately, the waiter pauses and replies, “Sir, aap hi ki baat se yaad aaya… sochna padega.”
Amused by the response, Amitabh Bachchan says, “Ohh… Smart guy hai. Are suniye bhaisahab, Chinese chhod kar sab kuch le aana idhar,” playfully opting for the Indian menu. The playful exchange shows how the phrase has found its way into even the simplest of conversations.
In the second promo, Amitabh Bachchan is seen tending to the plants on his balcony as he playfully strikes up a conversation with them, asking, “Hello, Jhaad ji, itni khaatirdaari ke baad bhi aap mein phool khilega ki nahin?” Anticipating the now-familiar response, he quickly adds, “Ab yeh mat kahiyega humse ki sochna padega…” before remarking, “Lagta hai baat phail chuki hai. Achha hai bahut.”
He then reveals the thought behind the new season, saying, “Kyonki is baar sirf jawab yaad rakhna hi kaafi nahin hoga. Sahi jawab ke liye sochna padega.” Through this playful exchange with his plants, the promo reinforces the central theme of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, that this time, reaching the right answer will require careful thought, not just quick recall.
With these two promos, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18 introduces its refreshed format through relatable situations, reinforcing that this season, knowing the answer alone won’t be enough, it will be equally important to pause, analyse, and think before locking it in.
Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18 premieres on 10th August, airing Monday to Friday at 9:00 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
