Bearing in mind the standards of social distancing, as a precautionary measure during the time of the coronavirus pandemic, Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 adopted new rules and regulations – only eight competitors can now take part in the Fastest Finger first round. The lifeline “Audience Poll” has been changed to “Video A Friend” as there is no live audience this season. Secretary of the Department of External Affairs, Vikas Swarup, joined the show as an expert on the “ Extract Advice ” lifeline.
Aarti Jagtap, 20, an engineering student from Bhopal, became the first candidate to join Amitabh Bachchan in the hot seat. Mr Bachchan, who still chats with the candidates, became emotional after learning how the candidate’s family had struggled financially during the lockdown period. He praised Aarti Jagtap for continuing his education even under difficult conditions at home. Aarti Jagtap left the show with a cash prize of Rs 6.4 lakh. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan was sharper than ever, reminding us once again, no one hosts KBC better than the megastar.
