Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Host Amitabh Bachchan wraps up the final episode of the season; says 'iss manch ne aur maine jitna chaha hai usse kahi zyaada mujhe mila hai'

The grand finale of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 began with an emotional note from host Amitabh Bachchan, who expressed his gratitude to the contestants, studio audience, and loyal viewers for their continuous support. Acknowledging the journey of the season, he thanked everyone who made it special. As the episode progressed, the Fastest Finger First round determined the next contestant, and Mayur Jain secured his spot on the hot seat. Noticing his ever-present smile, Big B curiously asked him about it. Mayur revealed that this was his first time meeting an actor, and his happiness was further amplified by the presence of his parents on the show.
Mayur Jain, hailing from Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, shared his childhood dream of being on Kaun Banega Crorepati. He revealed that he had attempted to register for KBC Juniors but was unable to make it through. After answering question confidently and a few with the help of lifelines, Mayur easy wins Rs 6,40,000.
For Rs 12,50,000, Mr Bachchan reads out the question. Which country was the first to welcome the new millennium on 1st January 2000? As Mayur is not confident, he decides to quit the show. However, before leaving he takes a guess and selects Option D) Samao but the correct answer is Option C) Kiribati. Mayur managed to take home Rs 6,40,000 and Rs 80,000 as the bonus amount.
As Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 wraps up its final episode, host Amitabh Bachchan reflects on the show's incredible journey. He shares that each time he returns as the host, he and the team eagerly wonder if they will continue to receive the same love, support, and appreciation that has sustained them for the past 25 years. Expressing his gratitude, he says, "Aur har daur ke anth tak sach yehi ban jaata hai, ke iss khel ne, iss manch ne aur maine jitna chaha hai usse kahi zyaada mujhe mila hai, aur lagataar milta rehta hai. Humari umeed hai ke yehi chaah issi tarah bani rahe aur kabhi na toote."
He further shares an emotional message, saying, "Jaate Jaate main aapse bus yehi kehna chahta hoon ke yadi humari koshishon ne yadi kisi ki bhi zindagi ko zara sa bhi chooha hai, yaa yahan bole gaye shabdon koi umeed jagayi hai, toh main samjhunga ki, humari 25 varshon ki joh sadhna thi woh safal hui. So Devi ji aur sajjanon main aapse ab agle daur mein milunga. Aap apni mehnat par bharosa rakhiye, apne sapno ko zinda rakhiye. Na rukiye, na jhukiye, aap jahan hai jaise hain anmol hain, mere priya hai aur mere apne hain. Phir milte hain aapse, tab tak main Amitabh Bachchan iss daur ke liye, iss manch se aakhri baar kehne jaa raha hoon, Shubh Ratri."
(As I bid farewell, I just want to say that if our efforts have even slightly touched someone’s life or if the words spoken here have ignited hope in any way, then I will consider our 25-year-long journey truly successful. So, ladies and gentlemen, I will see you in the next season. Keep believing in your hard work, keep your dreams alive. Don’t stop, don’t bow down. You are valuable just the way you are, dear to me, and my own. Until we meet again, this is Amitabh Bachchan, signing off from this season with my final words—Shubh Ratri.)
