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.

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.
