In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, contestant Alka Singh, a 24-year-old branch postmaster from Uttar Pradesh, made a surprising request to touch host Amitabh Bachchan's beard, which left him momentarily stunned. During her time on the show, she won Rs 3,20,000 and humorously interacted with Bachchan, who offered her tissues when she became emotional. The episode also introduced a new segment called 'Jaldi 5', where Alka secured her spot on the hot seat by winning against another contestant in the Fastest Finger First round. When asked why she wanted to touch his beard, Alka explained that her brother is clean-shaven, prompting Bachchan to joke about her brother eventually growing a white beard in old age. Their playful banter delighted the audience, showcasing the light-hearted spirit of the show. Additionally, Bachchan showed compassion by promising to help another contestant suffering from a brain tumor.
