On Wednesday, the ‘Sholay’ actor posted the latest promo of his iconic game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati: Season 16’ on Instagram in which he was seen interacting with renowned singer Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam.

The promo starts with Sonu Nigam expressing his love for panipuri which starts as, “Panipuri toh mera happy food hai” to which Shreya interrupts and says “paanipuri se bhi ek better cheez hai wo hai puchka” to which Sonu says, “Mujhe panipuri zyada pasand hai”. After which, Big B enters into a debate and makes it a fun banter between them.

The, ‘Kaalia’ actor said, “Wahi cheez hai wo, ek jagah puchka bolte hai aur ek jagah panipuri”. Sonu tries to correct Big B, “Nahi sir, farak hai sir, puchka ka taste alag hai, panipuri ka taste alag hai aur golgappe ka taste alag hai sir”. Shreya enters the conversation and says, “But puchka wins”

Later, Big B explains, “Nahi nahi aisi baat nahi hai, puchka naam pada aise kyunki jab golgappa saamne aata hai na toh jaise anguli maarte hai naa phaadne ke liye phacchh se awaaz aati hai” which left everyone laughing joyously.
