Singer Sunidhi Chauhan told Amitabh Bachchan on Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 that he was her first crush. The promo released by SonyLIV shows Chauhan saying, 'You were my first crush,' to which Bachchan replied, 'You're telling me this now, you didn't tell me back then,' leaving her blushing.

Chauhan also performed 'Yeh Mera Dil' from the 2006 film Don on the hot seat. The song originally featured in Bachchan's 1978 classic Don. Both sources report the episode also features lyricist Prasoon Joshi as a guest. Times of India notes fan reactions calling the exchange 'two legends admiring each other,' while NDTV highlights Bachchan's recent blog about shooting for 24 hours for KBC.
Both sources report the same light-hearted exchange with near-identical quotes, making this straight celebrity coverage. The Times of India leads with Chauhan's confession and adds box office context for her recent work and Bachchan's upcoming film. NDTV leads with the show's schedule and includes Bachchan's blog about his work stamina. Neither source carries any political or ideological slant. The middle-ground takeaway is the KBC promo formula: a candid celebrity moment paired with a performance, designed for viral social media sharing. Watch for more such promos as KBC 18 airs.
