  "account": "On September 18, a special celebrity episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 aired, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. Comedians Varun Grover, Gaurav Kapoor, and Gaurav Gupta participated in this episode, bringing their unique humor to the show. They began the game with the sixth question worth Rs 50,000 and utilized the MahaFlip lifeline during the Mahasawal question. Varun Grover recalled his frequent attempts to call the show in 2000, while Gaurav Kapoor joked about the slow pace of the call centre operators.\n\nThe trio used the MahaFlip lifeline again for the ninth question worth Rs 3 lakh, successfully answering the new question. They then moved on to the Rs 5 lakh question and entered the Super Sandook round, where they answered all 10 questions correctly, earning an additional Rs 1 lakh. Amitabh Bachchan promised a dinner at his house if they answered all 10 questions correctly in Super Sandook, which later turned into a joke about the \"kheer scene\" from Sooryavansham.\n\nGaurav Gupta and Gaurav Kapoor also had a playful exchange about the kheer scene in Sooryavansham. Gaurav Gupta humorously asked Bachchan if they would be served kheer at his house, leading to Gaurav Kapoor's recollection of the film's impact on his perception of kheer. Gupta even proposed a game called \"Kaun Banega Baniya,\" where he tested Bachchan on the prices of everyday household items. The exchange turned into a comedic guessing game, with Gupta joking about grocery prices and teasing Bachchan about his answers.",
