Ria Chopra Impresses on KBC 16: Wins Big, Jokes with Amitabh Bachchan

In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Ria Chopra from New Delhi took the hot seat. She is an influencer and a writer. Host Amitabh Bachchan jokingly said that her many achievements made him nervous. He added, “If I say something wrong, please don’t spread it on social media. People talk a lot there.” He then asked her what it means to be an influencer.

Ria talked about her journey on social media, where she has over 70,000 followers. She shares thoughts on pop culture, movies, and memes. She even mentioned her favorite meme about Amitabh Bachchan. In response, Big B joked, “You must have noticed that since she started talking, I’ve been quiet.”

For her ₹1,000 question, she had to complete the idiom used to wish someone good luck before a performance: “Break a __”. The options were:
A. Nose, B. Wrist, C. Leg, D. Tooth.
She correctly chose “Leg” (option C).

Later, she answered a question about the movie Wazir, starring Amitabh Bachchan. She praised the film, saying, “I really love that movie of yours. Some films are made just for commercial success, but this one makes people think. It’s one of your best works.” She also admitted that she enjoys talking and could give commentary on every question. Big B, covering his face, joked, “Hey bhagwan, bacha lena mujhe yaar please” (Oh God, please save me!).

A video montage of Ria was shown, where she asked the public about KBC’s popularity. Amitabh Bachchan playfully asked if the people in the video were real or just added for the show. Ria laughed and said, “People got really excited when I told them this might be shown on TV.”

For her Super Sawaal, she was asked:
“Group Captain and Wing Commander are ranks in which defence service?”
She correctly answered Air Force and won the Dugnaastra lifeline.

She later used this lifeline for her ₹80,000 question:
“What was the Oxford Word of the Year 2024 that refers to a decline in thinking ability due to consuming online content?”
The options were:
A. Delulu, B. Brain Rot, C. Brat, D. Demure.
She correctly picked “Brain Rot” (option B) and won double the amount.

The game continued as she moved ahead.
