FIR filed Against Amitabh Bachchan's KBC 12 Over an issue on a book

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is back as host of popular giveaway Kaun Banega Crorepati. The new season KBC 12 started streaming on Michaelmas . But last weekend an FIR has been filed against Amitabh Bachchan and KBC 12 in Lucknow. the rationale being an issue asked by Big B to a contestant on the show that has hurt religious sentiments.

A section of the web is furious with megastar Amitabh Bachchan and therefore the makers of his super successful giveaway ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. this is often over an issue asked during last week’s Karamveer special. It had social activist Bezwada Wilson and actor Anoop Soni as guests. The question was regarding Manusmriti.

For an issue worth Rs 6,40,000, Amitabh Bachchan asked Bezwada Wilson and Anup Soni this question. On 25 December 1927, Dr BR Ambedkar and his followers burned copies of which scripture?

Options: (A) Vishnu Purana (B) Bhagavad Gita, (C) Rigdev (D) Manusmriti

The answer was Manusmriti, and therefore the duo got it right.

Big B while announcing the proper answer had explained that Dr BR Ambedkar condemned the traditional Hindu text Manusmriti and also burned copies of it. This explanation hurt the emotions of the many who took to social media and slammed the actor. They also called out for the boycott of Kaun Banega Crorepati.

This is how netizens reacted,

Kaun Banega Crorepati is in its 12th season currently. the primary season aired in 2000.
