Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam are not just any other singers; they are emotions.

Promising a memorable fusion of âsur aur gyaan,' the episode celebrated the duo for their profound impact on the Indian music industry. They joined Mr Bachchan, and the episode was full of 'sur', 'gyaan', and 'gapshup'. Here's presenting the top moments from the 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' episode featuring Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam.
When asked about her favorite film by Big B, Shreya Ghoshal, who made her debut on 'KBC 16', shared a nostalgic memory from her childhood in Rawatbhata, Rajasthan. She fondly recalled watching films on a VCR, with 'Khuda Gawah' being the first movie she ever saw.

In a heartwarming moment during the episode, the celebrated singers left Amitabh Bachchan emotional as they sang the song "Patta Patta Boota Boota." This performance became even more touching as Sonu revealed that this was the first-ever song that featured Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan together.
Amitabh Bachchan talked about the song "Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon," from the movie 'Kabhi Kabhie' (1976), and said, "In the film, it is my voice you hear singing." He fondly recalled that the first day of shooting took place in a hotel hall in Kashmir. When Sonu complimented the host on his multitasking skills, Big B smiled and said, "Kabhi kabhi josh mein hum log bohot kuch kar dete hain."
During the episode, Big B gave an interesting task to both music maestros, where Shreya had to sing Sonu's songs and vice versa. We bet you will be awestruck by Ghoshal's rendition of âAbhi Mujhme Kahin' and Nigam singing âSilsila Ye Chaahat Ka.' They just made our day with their beautiful voices, and for half of the episode, we were on our toes, enjoying the night.
Melody was present, but nothing could stop a debate over Puchka vs. Pani Puri. During the fun-filled episode, Shreya Ghoshal, Amitabh Bachchan, and Sonu Nigam got into a playful banter where Shreya wasn't ready to accept that anything could beat Puchka, while Amitabh and Sonu disagreed with her.
