Fans of Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol are eagerly awaiting their appearance alongside Preity Zinta on the premiere episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18', but the first promo has already triggered a wave of jokes aimed at Aamir’s personal life.
The new season will see Amitabh Bachchan return as host, with the celebrity guests appearing to promote their upcoming film 'Batwara 1947'.
The first promo of 'KBC 18' shows Aamir Khan asking Amitabh Bachchan about the idea behind this season’s theme, “Sochna Padega”, which translates to “You will have to think about it.”
Aamir asks Bachchan to explain what contestants will have to think about, prompting the veteran actor to explain that the game will not be easy this time because contestants will really have to use their minds.
