The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 started with host Amitabh Bachchan conducting fastest finger first and Chandni Choudhary making it to the hot seat. A introduction video showcases Chandni’s journey, revealing that she is an FMS student from Delhi and a Bronze Medalist in the 2023 Cyclethon. She is on the show to fund her startup 'Saarthi'. Big B resumes the game of KBC and one of the questions for Rs 3000 that Chandni faces is: The dish tehri, a part of Awadhi cuisine, is associated with which state? The contestant correctly answers Option A) Uttar Pradesh.
Explaining the answer, the host reveals that the dish is very similar to Biryani but is cooked differently. The megastar shares he loved loved 'Tehri' once but has now stopped eating it. He further says, "Aisa koi wajah nahi hai, bus aise he ek din mann aaya, chalo chawal nahi khayenge."
In response, Chandni shares that rice is her favorite food. She recalls mentioning it in an interview, only to find that the interviewer took offense to her choice. Mr Bachchan and Chandni discuss how they love eating rice with hands. He says, "Par haanth se joh khake mazaa aata hai woh, kahin aur nahi aata, chawal-dal, usko mila karke kha liya."
As the show progresses, Chandni reveals that her startup, Saarthi, has moved beyond the ideation stage and successfully developed a prototype. They are now actively pitching their product for funding. Taking the opportunity, Chandni presents her startup in front of host Amitabh Bachchan, who reacts in his signature epic style.
She explains that Saarthi is designed to assist the elderly and individuals with special needs (PWD), as they are among the most vulnerable. Impressed by the concept, Mr. Bachchan applauds her initiative. With a touch of humor, he then asks her how he could use the app if he wanted to get his house cleaned. After the contestant explains the process, Big B jokingly asks Chandni, if she belongs to Uttar Pradesh and knows the meaning of 'safai' there. He says, "Aake humari ghar ki safayi kardo, leke sab humari ghar ki safai karke chala jaayegi." His reaction leaves the audience in splits of laughter.
Chandni intends to invest her winnings into her startup and has set her sights on securing Rs 25,00,000. Moved by her vision, Big B assures her that he will personally encourage people to support and fund her startup.
