Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Bhuvan Bam shares how Amitabh Bachchan hosted show became a turning point in his father’s memory recovery

The upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 will welcome popular content creators Samay Raina, Bhuvan Bam, Kamiya Jani, and Tanmay Bhat as special guests. Viewers can look forward to a mix of laughter, entertainment, and heartfelt moments. In a recently released promo, Bhuvan Bam opens up about his father's battle with a brain stroke and shares how watching an episode of KBC played a significant role in helping his father regain several old memories.
The promo begins with Bhuvan Bam sharing a heartfelt memory of being in the hospital when his YouTube channel reached the 10 million subscribers milestone. He revealed that during this time, his father had suffered a brain stroke, which tragically caused him to lose the ability to recognize his family.
The YouTuber-turned-actor shared an emotional moment with Amitabh Bachchan, recalling, "Main unke bagal mein baitha hoon aur woh mujhe keh rahe hain ki mera beta hai Bhuvan. Abhi kahin gaya hai, bahar se aayega toh main bataunga ki woh kya karta hai." (I was sitting right beside him, and he was telling me that his son is Bhuvan. He thought I had gone somewhere and said that once I return, he would explain what I do.)

He went on to share that his father remained in this condition for about one to two weeks, but then something unexpected happened and an episode of KBC turned out to be a miracle. Bhuvan mentioned that he even tweeted about the moment. He recalled, "Koi purani Dilli se related sawaal tha. Baba dekh rahe the aur option aane se pehle unhone jawaab de diya." (There was a question related to Old Delhi. My father was watching, and before the options even appeared, he answered it correctly).
That answer sparked a conversation between Bhuvan and his father, gradually leading to a breakthrough—his father finally recognized him again. Moved by the story, Amitabh Bachchan shared how deeply proud parents feel when they see their children achieve success and make a name for themselves.
Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 is currently celebrating the glorious 25 years of the show.
