Megastar Amitabh Bachchan announced the return of his famous show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” through a sardonic video which aims at refuting bogus information that floats around.
In the promo that has been laid out by Sony TV official twitter handle, Amitabh Bachchan cites example of misinformation regarding Rs 2000 currency note containing nano chip, that got circulated in the backdrop the demonetisation announcement by PM Modi.
We all know that one person jo humein aisi unverified sansani khabrein sunata hai! Tag them in the comments and tell them that “Gyaan jahaan se mile bator lo, lekin pehle tatol lo.”#KBC2022 coming soon! Stay tuned!@SrBachchan pic.twitter.com/Y2DgAyP3MH

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetisation in 2016, several news channels had claimed how the new Rs 2,000 currency note would have an in-built GPS which would track its location round-the-clock.
In the video, the veteran actor is seen asking the contestant ‘Out of the typewriter, television, satellite and Rs 2,000 note, what has GPS technology in them?’ The contestant confidently chooses Rs 2,000 currency note as her answer, only to be told by Bachchan that the correct answer was satellite.
When the bewildered contestant asks if Bachchan was joking, the 79-year-old says, “What you believed as the truth was the joke”. When the contestant says she got the information from the news portals, so it was their fault, Bachchan tells her that even if it was the mistake of journalists, “the loss was hers”.
“Gyaan jahaan se mile bator lijiye, par pehle zara tatol lijiye (Gather information from wherever you can, but verify it first),” he says in the promotional video.
The clip soon went viral on social media, with more than 10,000 likes on Twitter itself.
“We all know that one person jo humein aisi unverified sansani khabrein sunata hai! Tag them in the comments and tell them that Gyaan jahaan se mile bator lo, lekin pehle tatol lo,” Sony TV’s official Twitter page wrote, announcing season 14 of the show.
Bachchan has hosted “KBC” since its inception in 2000, except for the third season in 2007, which was hosted by superstar Shah Rukh Khan. With inputs
