The makers of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’ made a big mistake in the recent episode. He committed such a blunder that seeing late actress Zubaida‘s son Khalid Mohammed got enraged and imposed a class. Varun Dhawan arrived in the latest episode of ‘KBC 16‘. The directors of ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ were also with him. When Varun Dhawan and DK sat on the hotseat, Amitabh started playing a game with them. He asked the actor a question – Which actress died tragically in a plane crash along with her husband, Maharaja Hanwant Singh of Jodhpur? Its options were – Sulochana, Mumtaz, Nadira and Zubaida.
When Amitabh Bachchan made fun of Shatrughan Sinha’s lateness – Till date I don’t know where this brother used to disappear.
Question to Varun Dhawan and DK, this is where the mistake happened
Varun Dhawan and DK used three lifelines for this question and then gave the correct answer – Zubaida. After this Amitabh Bachchan told him the story. He said, ‘When Raja was campaigning for the first elections of independent India, this accident happened to him. Meanwhile, Zubaida was the actress who worked in the first Indian talkie film ‘Alam Ara‘.
Later, his life inspired the film Zubaida. On this Varun said, ‘I think Karisma Kapoor had worked in it.’ Then Amitabh said that Manoj Bajpayee was also in it.

Zubaida’s son said- Can you at least apologize?
According to ‘Indian Express’, he reprimanded the makers and wrote on his X account, ’KBC and Amitabh Bachchan. This is my late mother Zubaida Begum. When ‘Alam Ara’ was made, she was not born. The least you can do is apologize at the event for the mistake. But do you know anything? I don’t expect that.
‘Can the makers clarify?’
He wrote in another post, “Kaun Banega Crorepati’… Whoever takes the decision can I request for clarification on ‘KBC’? Zubaida (Dhanragir) was a famous actress who acted in ‘Alam Ara’. My mother Zubaida did not want to act, but her strict father did not allow her to do so. How can your research team make such a mistake?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Film Expert
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have an esteemed expert in the field of cinema and television, Dr. Nisha Kapoor. Nisha, thank you for joining us!
Dr. Kapoor: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to be here.
Editor: Let’s dive right into it. Recently, there was quite a stir during an episode of ’Kaun Banega Crorepati 16′ involving Varun Dhawan and a question about the late actress Zubaida. Can you fill us in on what exactly happened?
Dr. Kapoor: Absolutely! In the latest episode, Amitabh Bachchan posed a question regarding Zubaida, asking the contestants to identify the actress who tragically died in a plane crash. Varun Dhawan and director DK used all three lifelines before they eventually got the answer right – Zubaida.
Editor: That’s certainly an interesting turn of events. It seems that Khalid Mohammed, Zubaida’s son, was particularly incensed by how this was handled. What do you think about that?
Dr. Kapoor: It’s understandable. Khalid’s reaction likely stems from a sense of protectiveness over his mother’s legacy. ‘KBC’ is a very public platform, and any mistakes related to personalities of the past can feel like a personal affront, especially when the context is sensitive.
Editor: Correct me if I’m wrong, but Zubaida was significant in Indian film history, having starred in the first Indian talkie, ‘Alam Ara’. How do you think her story resonates today?
Dr. Kapoor: Zubaida’s contribution to Indian cinema is monumental. She represents not just the glamour of the film industry but also its evolution during a transformative period in Indian history. As the first actress in a talkie, her legacy is both groundbreaking and pivotal. Mistakes like the one seen on ‘KBC’ can overshadow that history if not handled with care.
Editor: It seems this incident sparked a broader conversation about how historical figures are remembered and represented in popular culture. What do you think the media’s responsibility should be when discussing such influential figures?
Dr. Kapoor: The media has a critical role in ensuring that such discussions are accurate and respectful. They need to provide context and acknowledge the complexities of a person’s life. Historical figures should be portrayed with the nuance they deserve, considering not only their achievements but also their personal stories.
Editor: Speaking of portrayals, Amitabh Bachchan made a light-hearted comment about Shatrughan Sinha’s tardiness in the same episode. Do you believe humor has a place in discussions about serious topics?
Dr. Kapoor: Humor can be a double-edged sword. While it can break the ice and engage the audience, it also has to be measured. Remarks about personal attributes or past events should be carefully navigated, especially in a format like ‘KBC’ that celebrates significant cultural icons. The goal should be to strike a balance between entertainment and sensitivity.
Editor: That’s a wise perspective, Nisha. As we continue to consume media, what lessons do you think viewers can take away from this incident on ‘KBC’?
Dr. Kapoor: Viewers can learn the importance of historical context and the responsibility that comes with discussing influential figures. It’s a reminder to cherish and respect our cultural legacies and recognize that our understanding of them should be rooted in accurate representations.
Editor: Well put! Thank you once again for sharing your insights, Dr. Kapoor. This has been a very enlightening discussion!
Dr. Kapoor: Thank you! It was a pleasure to discuss these important aspects of our cultural narrative with you.
