New Delhi. A recent episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’ sparked controversy when a question misrepresented the life of Zubaida, the star actress of India’s first talkie film ‘Alam Ara’. The matter is 5 days old, but it is being discussed extensively on social media. Amitabh Bachchan made such a mistake during the show, after which the show is being heavily criticized on social media.
Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 is once again in the headlines. The headlines are not about any anecdote or story but about a mistake made by Amitabh Bachchan. But behind the mistake is the entire research team, which gave wrong information and became a victim of trolling.
The question was related to history
Actually, in the recent episode, Varun Dhawan had come to promote director Raj & DK’s upcoming series ‘Citadel’. Amitabh Bachchan gave wrong information to the audience in the show regarding a question related to history, due to which a whole uproar was created. The question was- ‘Which of these actresses died tragically in a plane crash along with her husband Maharaja Hanumat Singh of Jodhpur?
what was the option
A-Sulochana
B-Mumtaz
C- Nadira
D- Zubaida
What was Big B’s mistake?
The question confused both Varun and DK a lot. He used his two lifelines to get the correct answer to this question and then gave the final answer. Which was also correct. Big B told the history of Zubeda and said, ‘She worked in India’s first talking film ‘Alam Ara’. Inspired by his wife, the film ‘Zubaida’ was made, in which Karisma Kapoor played an important role.
‘You should apologize, this much you can do’
However, this is not true, Maharaj Hanumat Singh’s wife in realty was Zubeda Begum. But she was not an actress. This fact was corrected when a poster of Zubeida’s son Khalid Mohammed went viral on social media. Khalid made a post taunting the makers, in which he wrote – ‘KBC Amitabh Bachchan, this is my late mother Zubeida Begum. When ‘Alam Ara’ was made, she was not even born. The program should apologize for this mistake, this much you can do.
Can I ask for clarification on this in KBC?
In his second post, Khalid wrote, ‘Can I ask for clarification on this in KBC? Zubeida was a famous actress, who acted in Alam Ara, she was not my mother Zubeida. My mother also wanted to act but her father did not allow it. How can your research team make such a mistake?
The channel did not apologize
Khalid Mohammad is a director, screenwriter and critic by profession. However, the channel has maintained silence on this matter. As of now, there is no reaction from the channel, Marx or Amitabh Bachchan on this glitch.
