Amitabh Bachchan asks question about Imran Khan on Kaun Banega Crorepati

In a short video clip going viral on social media platforms, the Indian entertainment show Kaun Banega Crorepati’s host – Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan- asked a contestant a question about the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan.

The question was: “Which former Prime Minister of Pakistan was shot at in Wazirabad on 3 November 2022?”

The contestants are asked a question and then given four options, out of which only one can be the correct option.

In this question, the four options were Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan, Yousaf Raza Gillani, and Shaukat Aziz. The contestant chose the second option, which was Imran Khan, and won Rs 3,20,000/- for the correct answer.

PTI followers are sharing the short footage on social media, and most of them are celebrating the popularity of Imran Khan internationally.

On November 3 2022, Imran Khan, months after being ousted from the government through a no-confidence motion, was rallying across the country campaigning for the second ‘Azadi March’ against the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government when he was shot at in an attempted assassination in Wazirabad city.

Khan was at the front of a container-mounted truck along with other PTI leaders and supporters when a gunman fired shots. He was shot in the shin, and thigh of the right leg and was transferred to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Lahore, where he underwent treatment.

Police arrested the gunman, Muhammad Naveed and uploaded a controversial confession video of the suspect stating that he shot Khan as he was “spreading hatred and misleading the people”, as well as making “blasphemous and anti-religion” remarks.

Seven people, including former prime minister Imran Khan and other party leaders, were injured, and a party worker was killed in the gun attack.
