Tonight, the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 will feature Vishnu Managoli, one of the youngest contenders this season. Born and raised in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 18-year-old Vishnu isn't content to compete for the top prize; he has an aspiration that transcends the physical universe. His zeal to join ISRO and support India's space initiatives appears to be captivating the host and viewers as he takes the hot seat. Host Amitabh Bachchan is impressed with Vishnu's brilliance and commitment, and the two have deep chats about college life, friendships, and more, which makes for entertaining viewing.
Vishnu Managoli: The youngest contender on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16
Vishnu Managoli, an engineering student in his second year, has loved Kaun Banega Crorepati ever since he was a kid. His insatiable curiosity and love of learning have brought him to this point in his life. His deep fascination with space aeronautics complements his enthusiasm for AIML. Vishnu has captivated Amitabh Bachchan with his extraordinary knowledge, despite being one of the youngest contenders in this season of KBC. Bachchan cited a fan's upload of a new image of him writing a blog using AI as an example of the advancements in technology. This left him impressed.
Vishnu said in a statement that he has been an ardent follower of the show since he was eight years old, and he tried to participate during the KBC Kids special. As soon as he became 18, he set out to accomplish two things: one, get his paperwork in order; and second, get to the KBC hotseat. This opportunity to fulfill his lifelong dream of being in charge is greatly appreciated. In order to be ready, Vishnu used every resource at his disposal, including keeping up with the news every day, reading books, and watching videos on YouTube.
A lifelong passion for learning and space exploration
He makes it a point to learn as much as he can, since he thinks there is a treasure trove of information outside of books. When he left for this place, Vishnu assured his people that he would do his best to take advantage of this opportunity. In the future, the youngster hopes to join ISRO so that he can put his AI skills to use in space exploration and bring honour to the nation.
The perseverance and dedication shown by Vishnu—in his pursuit of knowledge, his love for his family, and his hope for a better future—serve as an inspiration for the viewers.
Season 16 of Kaun Banega Crorepati airs on Sony Entertainment Television at 9 p.m. (IST) Monday through Friday and is also available to stream on SonyLIV (OTTplay Premium).
