'Super Sawaal' gives the contestant the superpower of using the Dugnaastra between questions 6-10

Sony Entertainment Television's beloved 'knowledge-based' reality gameshow, 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', is all set to premiere its 16th season on August 12 at 9:00 PM! Featuring the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, the channel recently unveiled a thought-provoking campaign, 'Zindagi hai, har mod par sawaal puchegi, jawaab toh dena hoga', sparking introspection on profound life truths. And now, the makers have announced the'Super Sawaal' to enrich the contestants' gameplay as they face questions that will take them one step closer to their dreams.

An interesting element, the 'Super Sawaal' is a bonus question that appears after the first safe haven (Q5) and will have no options and no choice of using a lifeline. If answered correctly, contestants get the opportunity to use the 2x superpower or Dugnaastra. The superpower enables the contestants to press the buzzer and double the winnings of a particular question of their choice from Q6 to Q10. So, if a contestant chooses to use the superpower at Q9 (INR 1,60,000), and answers correctly, he/she ends up with a bonus amount of 1,60,000 that will be added to their final winning amount. However, they may not use any lifelines while playing the Dugnaastra.

The 'Super Sawaal' and subsequent use of the Dugnaastra adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay, making it edgy, thrilling, and suspenseful.

Stay tuned to watch Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 starting 12th August at 9:00 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television!
