‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 12’: FIR filed against Amitabh Bachchan and the makers for THIS reason

‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ season 12 started this September and as usual, every episode has been a nail-biting experience. But, the show has found itself in legal trouble as an FIR has been filed against host Amitabh Bachchan and its makers. This was all over a question that caused a lot of frenzy on social media.

Amitabh Bachchan had asked a question related to Manusmirti in the Karamveer episode. In that episode, we saw social activist Bezwada Wilson and actor Anoop Soni who came as a guest. The question for Rs 6,40,000 read as – 25 December 1927, Dr. BR Ambedkar and his followers burned copies of which scripture? And the options given were- a) Vishnu Purana, b) Bhagavad Gita, c) Rigdev, and d) Manusmriti.

After the question was answered, Big B giving insight about the historic event said, “In 1927, Dr. BR Ambedkar condemned the ancient Hindu text Manusmriti to ideologically justify caste discrimination and untouchability and he also burned copies of it.”

But, the question was not taken well by the netizens as many accused the show of running the “leftists propaganda” and “hurting Hindu sentiments”.

Abhimanyu Pawar, BJP legislator from Ausa in Latur district, in a complaint to Latur SP Nikhil Pingle said action should be taken against Big B and the makers of the show. Now, an FIR has been lodged against Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) and its host Amitabh Bachchan in Lucknow.

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri took to his Twitter account and wrote, “KBC has been hijacked by Commies. Innocent kids, learn this is how culture wars are win. It’s called coding.”
