Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, hosted by Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, kicked off on August 12. The new season of the popular quiz show continues to thrill audiences with its insightful and heartfelt moments. The latest episode saw contestant Shreem Sharma, an astrologer from Moga, Punjab, gracing the hot seat. The newly married contestant was accompanied by his wife and mother to cheer for him during the episode. As soon as Shreem graced the hot seat, tears rolled down Shreem's mother's eyes.
