KBC will feature a fresh segment called ‘Super Sawaal’ this year

‘Super Sawaal’ will make its debut after question 5 in the quiz

Contestants who answer correctly can win double their winnings

In an exciting new twist, Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) will feature a fresh segment called ‘Super Sawaal’ in its 16th season. This addition promises to heighten the stakes for contestants with the introduction of a special game-changing element.

What is ‘Super Sawaal’?

‘Super Sawaal’ will make its debut after question 5 in the quiz. This bonus question will not provide multiple-choice options or allow the use of lifelines. Contestants who answer correctly will unlock the ‘dugaanastra’ feature, enabling them to double their winnings on one of the subsequent questions (questions 6 through 10). For instance, if a contestant chooses to use the ‘dugaanastra’ on question 9, which typically offers ₹1,60,000, they could potentially win double that amount by selecting the correct answer. The feature adds an extra layer of excitement and challenge, as contestants must rely solely on their knowledge without the aid of lifelines.
