Diwali is here and adding to the festive cheer, this Wednesday, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’, hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan will welcome the team of Citadel: Honey Bunny – Varun Dhawan, and the dynamic director duo Raj & DK take to the hot seat for a star-studded episode! Through the episode, viewers will see many candid conversations take center stage. One such chat includes Varun and Big B sharing heartfelt reflections on the joys and challenges of fatherhood.
During the show, Mr. Bachchan talks about Varun’s newborn daughter, saying, “As you mentioned, this Diwali is especially meaningful for you because goddess Lakshmi herself has come to your home. Have you thought of a name for her?” Varun smiles, replying, “Yes, we have, though we haven’t shared it yet. I’m still learning to connect with her—it’s just as you said when a baby comes home, everything changes.” He then asks Mr. Bachchan about his emotions when he became a father to which Mr. Bachchan responds emotionally, “It felt wonderful.” Varun playfully asks, “Did you get enough sleep, or did the baby keep you up?” Big B chuckles, “Oh, we managed to sleep, but there was always a bit of worry: is everything okay? Back then, a new gadget had come out. You’d place it near the bed, and if the baby made even the slightest noise, it would alert us. It came in handy!”
Varun then asks Big B to share some parenting tips and how one can manage their schedule with a newborn at home. Big B smiles, “Here’s one golden rule—keep your wife happy. If she’s content, everything else will fall into place, and with her happiness, your daughter will be happy too. Remember: ‘wife is supreme.’”
In a light-hearted moment, Varun asks Big B to give a special message to his wife, Natasha, about the challenges fathers face in balancing time with their children. Smiling at the camera, Mr. Bachchan says, “Natasha, welcome to Kaun Banega Crorepati! Your husband is playing wonderfully here; may he earn well, get many films, and take good care of you. After this game, he’ll bring you a special gift. Just one small request, Natasha Ji—please don’t give him too hard a time.”
This Diwali, celebrate with Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 and tune in at 9 PM for an episode filled with laughter, celebration, and the timeless charm of Big B.
