Sony Entertainment Television's popular quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16' will feature Vishnu Mangoli, one of the youngest contestants of the season tonight. Hailing from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 18-year-old Vishnu is not just gunning for the grand prize but also to fulfil a dream beyond this world! With ambitions of joining ISRO and contributing to India's space mission, Vishnu's journey to the hot seat is full of passion that will captivate both the host and the audience. Impressed by his intelligence and dedication, host Amitabh Bachchan will be seen having meaningful conversations with Vishnu where the two discuss everything from college life to friendship and beyond, making for an interesting show for the audience.

Currently in his second year of engineering, Vishnu Mangoli has a keen interest in general knowledge and a zeal to learn. Both of these factors led him to the hot seat of Kaun Banega Crorepati, a show he has loved since childhood. His passion is further enriched by his keen interest in space aeronomics, along with expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML). As one of the youngest contestants on this season of KBC, Vishnu has caught Amitabh Bachchan's attention with his remarkable knowledge. Talking about artificial intelligence, Amitabh Bachchan revealed how a fan shared a recent picture of him writing a blog, using his voice using AI, and how it impressed him with the advancement of technology.

Talking about his experience on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16, contestant Vishnu Mangoli said, `I have been an ardent follower of the show since the age of eight. I tried to participate during the KBC Kids Special. When I turned eighteen, I had two main goals: first, to get all my documents in order and second, to get on the KBC hotseat. Getting on the hotseat has been a childhood dream and I am really grateful for this opportunity. I prepared by staying updated with the daily news, reading books, searching on YouTube and using every available resource. I believe there is a wealth of knowledge beyond textbooks, and I try to gather and absorb as much as I can. When I was leaving home to come here, I told my parents that I will try to make the best use of this opportunity! I dream of joining ISRO one day; I want to apply my knowledge of AI to space research and make my country proud. This is a step towards that goal.`

Vishnu's story highlights his deep commitment to education, his family and his dreams of a better future. It shows how a person can overcome challenges with determination.
