Reactions to the KBC question
An X user shared a glimpse of the episode simply captioned it, “A cricket question in KBC for 6 Lakhs 40 thousand.” A person commented, “Bete ko jitana bhi to hai Amitabh ji ko. Ghar ka paisa ghar mein rahega. (Amitabh has to make his son win so that the money comes home).” Another reacted, “How easy”. A person also called Kaun Banega Crorepati a "Scripted show." An X user wrote, “Saiyami was literally hosting Cricbuzz shows during the IPL .. could've easily answered way tougher questions.” A tweet also read: “The standard for questions is so low.” An X user also claimed, “Ans is Lord Rinku Singh but I know they give that question just to get some TRP for KBC and then they give you these posts to do paid tweet which doesn't look like paid tweet!”
