KBC 18’s question has Amitabh Bachchan-Ajmal Kasab connect; stumps Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol
Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, premiered on August 10 with Sunny Deol, Aamir Khan and Preity Zinta as contestants. The episode featured a question about a popular Hindi poet, which stumped the actors. The question referenced lines from a poet, asking which Urdu poet wrote "Kabhi kisi ko mukammal jahan nahi milta, kahin zamin kahin aasmaan nahi milta?"
The options included Akbar Allahabadi, Jaun Elia, Nida Fazli, and Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Preity Zinta and Aamir Khan initially believed the lines were from the film Mirza Ghalib, but after checking the options, they realized their mistake. They opted for the MahaFlip lifeline, which allowed them to change the question. They chose Faiz Ahmed Faiz, but the correct answer was Nida Fazli.
The poem was later incorporated into the 1981 film Ahista Ahista, with music composed by Khayyam and vocals by Asha Bhosle and Bhupinder Singh. Nida Fazli's lines were also narrated by Amitabh Bachchan in the film Silsila.
