										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Deepika Padukone and Farah Khan will soon grace Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 13. The trio will recreate Om Shanti Om’s popular dialogue ‘Ek chutki sindoor’ and give it a hilarious twist.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a promo shared on Sony TV’s Instagram account, Amitabh questions Farah that how she never decided to cast him in any of her films. In response to the veteran star, Farah Khan said it is everyone’s dream to work with him. Soon, we see Amitabh auditioning for Farah as he recreates ‘Ek chutki sindoor’ dialogue with Deepika Padukone. As Amitabh Bachchan fails to get the dialogue and the act right, Deepika tells him to “listen to your co-stars.” Soon,  Big B gets the dialogue right but gives it his own twist, which leaves Deepika and Farah in splits.</p>
<p dir="ltr">See the twist here :</p>

<p dir="ltr">Amitabh Bachchan’s KBC 12 began on August 23. This year, the show is special for primarily two reasons — the studio audience is back and the ‘fastest finger first’ has evolved into a ‘triple test’. The ‘triple test’ comes as an interesting addition that requires a contestant to sustain their speed in all three questions as the final leaderboard calculates one’s overall score.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The show airs on Sony TV from Monday to Friday at 9 pm. It also streams on SonyLIV app.</p>

On Wednesday, he took to Instagram and posted a picture of him sitting in the host&#8217;s chair. Alongside the image, he expressed his gratitude to everyone who&#8217;s been associated with the popular TV show&#8217;s journey since 2000.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;.. back .. on that chair from 2000 .. that&#8217;s 21 years .. a lifetime .. !!.and gratitude to all that came along,&#8221; Big B captioned the post.</p>

<p dir="ltr">For the unversed, the &#8216;Agnipath&#8217; star started hosting the quiz show in the year 2000, and since then he has been a constant part of the show except for one season. In 2006, Shah Rukh Khan replaced Big B as a host for the third season of the show. However, SRK failed to impress the audience with his hosting skills on the game show.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking about the upcoming 13th season, it is scheduled to air from August 23 on Sony Entertainment Television. It is being said that owing to the COVID pandemic, a lot of changes were implemented during the shoot of the show.</p>
