There has been a video circulating online with morphed voice overs on
Kaun Banega Crorepati
15 host,
Amitabh Bachchan
and the contestants.
The channel posted on instagram sharing the alert and asking the fans to not share any unverified information online. They said, “We have been alerted to the circulation of certain manipulated videos from our show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. These videos misleadingly overlay fabricated voiceovers of the host and contestants and present a distorted version of the original content. We strongly condemn such misinformation. We are actively addressing this matter with the cyber-crime cell and urge our viewers to refrain from sharing unverified content.”
The channel mentioned how it came to their notice about the manipulated video from Kaun Banega Crorepati 15. Wherein, there’s a misleading overlay of voiceover on the voice of the host, Amitabh Bachchan and the contestants.
The channel says that it condemns such misinformation being shared and that the viewers should also verify anything that they are sharing to avoid misinformation that might lead to problems in the future for both the show and the people involved.
Talking about the ‘manipulated video’, the social media page of the channel shared a video recently on their X (formerly known as Twitter), in which a fake voiceover of host Amitabh Bachchan can be heard reading a question. The question was: In 2018, the loans of how many farmers were waived off by the Kamal Nath-led government in Madhya Pradesh? The options were: A. ₹2 lakh, B. ₹27 lakh, C. ₹5 lakh, and D. ₹10 lakh.
In the video, the contestant can be seen going with option B and Big B announces it as the correct answer. However, when we take a close look at the video on the zoom mode, the words and Amitabh’s lips are not in sync. The question was superimposed on the video copying the standard KBC format.
Due to the gravity of the situation, the channel says that it is actively following up on this matter with the
Cyber Crime
cell.
The fans agree with the gravity of the situation and agree that such misinformation shouldn’t be shared about their favorite host and that people should refrain from sharing videos or clips from unverified sources.
Amitabh Bachchan is currently hosting the season 15 of the show. The megastar has been making many revelations about his life on the show. From his food habits to anecdotes about his life, Big B keeps sharing interesting information about his life. In a recent episode, he mentioned that he used to address his wife
Jaya Bachchan
as
Madam
ji’ and how he never messes up with Bengali’s.
Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 airs from Monday to Friday at 9 pm.
