Kaun Banega Crorepati 13: Dismissal of ‘Fastest Finger First’ to the introduction of ‘Shaandaar Shukravaar’; list of changes in the Amitabh Bachchan hosted quiz show
Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 is all set to hit the television screens on August 23. The new season of the Amitabh Bachchan hosted quiz show with ‘Jawaab Aap Hi Ho’ theme will celebrate every human and their right to ‘gyaan, dhyaan and samman’.
The show has kept everyone hooked to it for all these years, even when it saw some major changes due to the pandemic. However, the catch is that this time KBC is going to witness some major changes. The show is ready to be launched with a few new rules and updates. Here’s what you need to know about it:
No fastest finger first
The final step to reaching the ‘hot seat’ aka ‘Fastest Finger First’ is modified to ‘Triple Test’. Unlike the previous seasons wherein the contestants had to arrange their answers in chronological order, this time they will have to answer three general knowledge questions. The one who answers all three in the shortest time will win a chance to sit on the ‘hot seat’ and play the quiz with Big B. (Pic: Instagram)
Audience poll to return
The studio audience is going to return in KBC 13 and with their return, the show will see the return of the Audience Poll lifeline. This means that the hot seat contestant will be able to take cues from the audience when they find difficulty in answering a question. The other three lifelines will be 50:50, Ask The Expert and Flip The Question. (Pic: Instagram)
Commencement of Shaandar Shukravaar
Unlike the previous season wherein Amitabh Bachchan hosted real-life heroes on the Karamveer episode on Fridays, this time the show will celebrate ‘Shaandaar Shukravaar’ every Friday. Big B will be seen welcoming celebrities from all walks of life to play the quiz. (Pic: Instagram)
Dhuk Dhuki Ji in action
The initial few questions of the quiz are to be answered by the contestants within a given time limit. The game timer for the same which was earlier called ‘Chalpadi Ji’ by Big B is now aptly renamed as ‘Dhuk Dhuki Ji’. And we couldn’t agree more with a name that aptly goes with the feeling that it gives the contestants on the hot seat. (Pic: Instagram)
A revamped set
The set of the 13th season of the show has been given a fresh look with some distinct changes. The stage floor will be designed with LED lights and adding to the spirit of the show will be the introduction of Augmented Reality. The audience will also get to see a motorized virtual ceiling and gameplay graphics. (Pic: Instagram)
