Changes
Ajay-Atul modifies KBC's iconic tune, 'Flip the question' reintroduced
In the new season, the show has come up with several new elements, like its iconic tune has been revamped by music directors Ajay-Atul. The lifelines also witnessed a new addition, as 'Flip the question' was reintroduced this season. This option allows contestants, sitting on the hot seat, to give another shot to his/her luck by replacing the current question with another one.
Participation
Participate and win prizes at home through 'KBC Play Along'
Just like its previous season, KBC11 will also give viewers an opportunity to play the game, through the KBC Play Along option on Sony LIV app. Notably, they can win daily prizes by maintaining their positions on the leader-board of the app. However, unlike the tenth season, this time the winners of KBC Play Along will feature on the show during the finale week.
Segment
'KBC 11' retains the special segment of 'Karamveers'
Further, the show has retained its segment Karamveers, which was introduced last season. In this segment, Big B meets those people who have brought a positive change in the society through their actions, and also celebrates their never give up spirit. Like the previous season, this time too, celebrities will accompany these contestants. Do note, this special segment will be aired every Friday.
Episodes
'KBC11' will have more episodes than its previous seasons
Unlike its previous seasons, Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 will have more episodes. The show will run for more than 13 weeks, and that too for five days a week, which means KBC11 will have 65 episodes. Apparently, the change in the number of episodes for the new season was made after the incredible response its previous seasons received from the viewers.
