Chandigarh,  Oct.29, 2024:-Sony Entertainment Television's knowledge-based game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16, brings back the exciting India Challenger Week. This special week features a unique challenge: the Jaldi 5 Buzzer Round. Out of 10 play-along contestants, the top two from the Fastest Finger First (FFF) round will face off in this buzzer challenge to secure their place on the hot seat. The winner of this buzzer challenge will then continue with the game, starting with the 6th question of the money tree. Abhinav Kishor from Patna, a passionate student aspiring to become a planetary scientist made it to the hot seat, and the young man won the host's heart with his knowledge of earth science. 

During the gameplay, a light-hearted moment arises when Abhinav shares his research with Big B, suggesting that humans may be able to travel to Mars. Amitabh Bachchan playfully responds, "If you ever go to space, especially to Mars, make sure to save a piece of land for me as well! And remember, we played KBC together!" With a smile, Abhinav replies, "There are many craters on Mars named by NASA, so I'll definitely recommend that NASA find one and name it 'The Great Big B.'" To this, Amitabh proudly remarks, "Ah, wonderful! Usually, these writers just choose names on their own. My name is simple, let it just be Amitabh... Amitabh Bachchan (laughs).

Adding to the fun, Amitab Bachchan shares a humorous anecdote saying that some years ago, while in Los Angeles, he met a gentleman who was in the business of naming stars in space. He explained that you could name a star after yourself in space, and it would be considered your property. I was quite surprised and asked if it was truly possible. He showed me a list of stars, saying he could choose one, and it would be named after him. He agreed, paid him, and even received a certificate! But when he returned to India and looked into it, he was told, 'Sir, you were fooled, there is no such thing!' So, his friend, if you ever go to Mars, be careful!
