In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, host Amitabh Bachchan shared a delightful and humorous exchange with contestant Priyanshu Chamoli, a bright and witty second-year student of computational mechanics at IIT Delhi. Priyanshu captivated both Big B and the audience with his sharp intellect, charming personality, and lighthearted anecdotes.
Introducing Priyanshu, Amitabh Bachchan couldn’t help but admire his stellar academic record, quipping, “Bhai saab 10th grade me 99.8% laye aur 12th grade me 98%. Aur samne wo baethe hai jinka grade 0 se upar gaya nahi. I am feeling jealous of you.” To this, Priyanshu modestly replied, “I always wanted to do better academically.”
Adding a touch of humour, the conversation shifted to Priyanshu’s hairstyle. When he revealed that he never combs his hair and just shakes his head before heading out, Big B chuckled, “Itna mat hilaiye ke khopdi alag ho jaye.” Priyanshu went on to share a funny incident about his mother snipping off his hair when he attempted to grow it longer.
During the quiz, the duo discussed artificial intelligence. Priyanshu highlighted AI’s benefits, prompting Amitabh Bachchan to share his own amusing experience, “Mera abhi tak AI ke saath jo parichay hua hai, wo galat hi hua hai. Log mera chehra se najaane kya kya bana dete hai. Lipsync kar dete hai. Log samajhte hai main hun.” He recounted how a fan from Africa sent him a deepfake image of himself typing on a computer, leading Priyanshu to explain the concept of deepfake technology.
Reflecting on Priyanshu’s academic journey, Amitabh Bachchan confessed, “Once I had attempted to take it up. But seeing the syllabus, maine haath jod liye.” Priyanshu, who earned a 100% scholarship despite early financial struggles, shared his mantra for success: “Consistency is the key. You have to have faith in yourself and safalta zaroor milegi.”
