Kaun Banega Crorepati 18: Amitabh Bachchan hosts Commonwealth Games 2026 winners on hotseat
The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18 celebrated India's Commonwealth Games 2026 winners, with athletes Lovlina Borgohain, Asmita Dey, Jhandu Kumar and Sharmila Dhankar joining host Amitabh Bachchan on the hotseat. The August 17 episode brought their sporting journeys and personal struggles into focus as they spoke about representing India on the international stage. The special episode highlighted the achievements of the four athletes, who returned from the Commonwealth Games 2026 with historic performances across boxing, judo and para-sports. Asmita Dey, who won India's first-ever Commonwealth Games gold medal in judo, spoke about her journey from a mud house in Tripura to the international sporting stage. She also recalled watching KBC while growing up and said meeting Bachchan had been a long-held dream. Growing up, watching KBC with my family every evening was a ritual. I would often stare at the screen and wonder what it felt like to be in the same room as Mr. Amitabh Bachchan sir, and today, standing right next to him on this stage feels completely surreal, she said. Dey added that appearing on the show allowed her to share the story of her sport and journey with a much wider audience. Sharmila Dhankar Opens Up About Life As A Para-Athlete Para-athlete Sharmila Dhankar, who became India's first Commonwealth Games para-athletics gold medallist, spoke about the challenges that athletes often face away from public attention. As a para-athlete, you spend years training far away from the spotlight, quietly overcoming physical and societal hurdles that very few people ever witness. Being invited to KBC feels like a national celebration of those invisible struggles, she said. Dhankar also spoke about her interaction with Bachchan, saying his words of encouragement made the experience particularly meaningful. Lovlina Borgohain Compares KBC Hotseat To Boxing Ring Boxer Lovlina Borgohain, who won a silver medal in the 75 kg category, compared her experience on the KBC hotseat with the pressure of competing in the boxing ring. I honestly thought nothing in the world could match the adrenaline and pressure of stepping into an Olympic boxing ring, until I sat on the KBC Hotseat across from Mr. Amitabh Bachchan sir, she said. Borgohain added that while boxing relies heavily on instinct and muscle memory, the quiz show presented a different kind of challenge. In the ring, you rely on muscle memory and instincts, but sitting opposite him, it tests your mental sharpness in a completely different way, she added. Jhandu Kumar Recalls His Para-Powerlifting Journey Jhandu Kumar, who won India's first medal at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games in men's heavyweight para-powerlifting, also shared his experience on the show. When you train as a para-powerlifter, you learn to lift weights that feel impossible until you break through them. But I never imagined my journey in sports would lift me all the way to the stage of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Kumar said. He also expressed his appreciation for Bachchan's response to the athletes' journeys, saying the actor's words gave him renewed motivation. The episode served as a tribute to the athletes' performances while also giving viewers an insight into the work and challenges behind their Commonwealth Games achievements.

Vikrant Massey opens up about playing Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in White
Actor Vikrant Massey recently spoke about his upcoming film White based on the life of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar during an appearance at a show. Massey discussed discovering the chapter of Gurudevs life that forms the basis of the film, his experience of meeting him and why the story left a lasting impression on him. Massey said producer Mahaveer Jain introduced him to the project when it was still under development. After reading the script, Massey said he was struck by the impact Gurudev had made, particularly in Latin America. He said he was previously unaware of this chapter of Gurudevs life and was surprised to learn about the influence of a spiritual guru and philanthropist from Bengaluru on an international peace process. Massey said he wanted to spend time with Gurudev before beginning the shoot, adding that the experience allowed him to understand him better and made him grateful for the opportunity to portray him on screen. The film is set against the backdrop of Colombias 52-year civil war, which claimed more than 250,000 lives and displaced over 650,000 people. Massey said Gurudev, disturbed by the conflict, offered to mediate in the peace process, and that the efforts led to significant progress within about one-and-a-half years, culminating in a formal peace agreement with the Colombian government in 2017. Massey said White is now complete and is expected to release by the end of this year. The film is backed by Siddharth Anand, Mahaveer Jain and PeaceCraft Pictures, and is directed by Montoo Bassi.

Govinda has received support from former actor Somy Ali amid renewed attention on his personal life and his relationship with wife Sunita Ahuja. The controversy gained momentum after Govinda was seen with his younger co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar, leading to speculation about tension between the actor and his wife. Somy, who has known Govinda both personally and professionally, took to Instagram to share several throwback pictures with the actor. She spoke about his personality and defended his decision to continue working despite the criticism surrounding his age and professional choices. I am going to chime in here as no one else will and show support whenever it's necessary. I have known Govinda personally and professionally, which is why I can say a few things about him from both ends. Chichi is one of the greatest talents in the Hindi film industry and he is one of the most humble actors I got to know during my time within that industry, Somy wrote. She also stressed that there was nothing wrong with an older actor working alongside younger actresses. I have immense respect for both Chichi and Sunita. However, there is nothing ageist about an actor accepting a role with a younger actress. Talent doesn't have an expiration date, she said. Somy further argued that actors should be respected for continuing to work when opportunities are limited. She said an actor's worth should not be judged by age or the age of their co-star, but by their talent, professionalism and determination. The controversy began after Govinda arrived at the airport with Komal Rani Swarnkar, his co-star from the upcoming film Roopa. Sunita later spoke to paparazzi and referred to Govinda as a sugar daddy. Govinda subsequently responded by asking Sunita to stay within her limits and objected to the language used against him. Govinda and Sunita have been married since 1987 and have two children, daughter Tina Ahuja and son Yashvardhan Ahuja.

Amitabh Bachchan recently opened up about his and son Abhishek Bachchans shared love for sports and the amusing measures they take to watch late-night matches without disturbing the family. The veteran actor made the revelation during his hosting stint on the quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati. While interacting with a contestant, Amitabh spoke about his keen interest in sports with Abhishek. He said, Abhishek aur main joh hain, khel main bahut dilchaspi rakhtein hain. (Abhishek and I take a very keen interest in sports.) The conversation then turned to the familiar situation of watching matches late at night while other family members are asleep. When the contestant asked whether Jaya Bachchan objects to watching matches at home, Amitabh confirmed that it happens in their household as well. Explaining how they manage to continue watching their favourite games, Amitabh said, Bilkul aisa hi hota hain, Sir. Toh humne thodisi akalmandi ki, ek alag TV humne lagwaliya apne, aur unko boldete hain, aap jaiye bahut der hogai hain, aap jaake sojaiye, toh woh jaake sojate hain, aur humlog idhar dekhte hain raat bhar. He further revealed that they also take precautions to ensure the sound from their television does not disturb Jaya or anyone else. Aur kyunki awaaz joh hain wo neeche na jaaye, taaki unko disturbance ho, kabhi-kabhi headphones lagakey sunte hain, dekhte hain ya phir volume kam rakhtein hain, he said. However, maintaining silence becomes difficult when their favourite team wins. Amitabh humorously described how he and Abhishek sometimes end up shouting in excitement despite their efforts to stay quiet. Kyuki bhaisahab aisa hota haina, jab humlog koi sports dekhte hai, toh agar humari team jeet jaati hai toh YEAHHHHHH aise karkey chillate hain, toh yeh awaaz sunkar ke unlog uthjaatein hain ki kya hua, kuch gadbad hogaya kya.. hume khetein hain ki humara goal hogaya hai, ya humne chakka mara hai, he said. The anecdote offered a glimpse into the Bachchan familys shared enthusiasm for sports, while also highlighting the lengths Amitabh and Abhishek go to in order to enjoy their late-night matches without disturbing the rest of the household.
