Amitabh Bachchan asked a question on Sushant Singh Rajput’s posthumous release ‘Dil Bechara’ to his first contestant on KBC 12.

Kaun Banega Crorepati, the most revered show in India has started premiering its 12th season from Monday, September 28, 2020.

This time the show started way late than the original time schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic.

As there was no live audience for the show like before, the audience poll has been removed from the show.

This has been replaced by ‘video a friend’. The first contestant on KBC 12 was Aarti Jagtap.

She was put before a question on Sushant Singh Rajput’s last release Dil Bechara and the question was about the actress who featured opposite Sushant Singh Rajput in the film.

Aarti knew that it was Sanjana Sanghi and hence did not use any kind of lifeline for the question.

She ended her game by winning 6.4 lakh from the hands of Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh, aged 77, started filming for KBC in August after he recovered from COVID-19. To adapt to the social distancing and other norms decided by the government the show has undergone several changes.

The design of the set has been changed as there will be only 8 participants in the fastest finger first round which used to be 10 till last year.

The companions of the contestants are allowed to the show but were made to be seated far apart.

The design of the hot seat and the contestant’s chair has also been changed to allow more space in between.

Contestants will have to undergo a COVID-19 test before they leave for Mumbai and the report would be in the hands of the KBC authorities by the time the contestants reach the set.

After arrival to Mumbai, the contestants have to undergo another round of COVID-19 after which they would be allowed to enter the set.

While shooting for the season, Big B has kept his fans updated about all the precautions being taken by adapting to the new normal.

Furthermore, Amitabh Bachchan has shared all the videos regarding the precautions being taken and the changes that have been made to the set following the social distancing norms.

Sushant Singh Rajput had left the world on June 14, leaving the country in shock and despair. Ever since the news, the public had gone haywire suspecting his death to be murder and many proofs also have emerged proving the same.

An FIR has been filed by the family of the late actor after which the case has been transferred to the CBI. the investigation is underway and everyone across the world is waiting for the final result from the CBI.
