Though KBC 10’s format remains the same, there are a few changes this time around. For instance, the questions are going to be difficult. Augmented reality technology will be also used, the first for any Indian reality show. In lifelines, the audio call has been replaced with video conferencing. For those who will watch the show on Sony’s OTT service SonyLIV, there is one more change. They will be able to match wits with the contestant sitting on the hot seat and participate in the show, all in the comfort of their home.
Amitabh Bachchan urges the audience to donate for people affected by Kerala floods and signs off by wishing the audience Good Night.
Before Amitabh Bachchan could start the game, the buzzer rings. He thanks Anjana Om Kashyap for being there on the show. Before taking leave, she heaps praise on the legendary actor and his hosting skills.
Taking the game show ahead, Amitabh asks the next fastest finger first question. The participants have to arrange the words to form the title of a song starring Ranbir Kapoor. The song is "Kar Har Maidan Fateh" from the movie Sanju. The one who has got the answer right is Somesh Kumar Choudhary.
Amitabh Bachchan transfers the winning prize money to Sonia Yadav's bank account and clicks a selfie with her.
Unable to answer the question, Sonia Yadav decides to quit the game and take home Rs 12,50,000.
Now Sonia is left with no lifeline and if she gets any answer wrong, she will take home only Rs 3,20,000. The 13th question about India's history puts her in trouble.
The next question is worth Rs 12,50,000. Amitabh asks, "Which of these states' capital is farthest east? The options are A. Arunachal Pradesh B. Nagaland C. Manipur D. Mizoram. Sonia uses another lifeline and calls her jodidaar for help. Unable to come to the correct answer, she uses another lifeline, 'Ask the expert'. Anjana Om Kashyap helps Sonia with the right answer and tells her Nagaland is the correct answer.
In the 11th question, the contestant has to identify the animal shown on the screen and this time too, Sonia faces no difficulty in identifying the animal correctly. Now, she has Rs 6,40,000 in her account.
Now, there is no time limit to answer a question. Before resuming the game, Amitabh shows another video of Sonia and her family. The actor asks her what will she do with the prize money. "We will use the money for a better life of small girls and welfare of animals," tells Sonia.
Answering the ninth question right, Sonia Yadav plays the 10th question where she has to name the Indian-born person who won the Fields medal in 2018, often called the Nobel Prize for mathematics. The answer is Akshay Venkatesh. Getting the answer right, Sonia has won Rs 3,20,000.
The next question is worth Rs 1,60,000. Amitabh asks the next question where the contestant has to identify the language of the opening words of Raazi song "Dilbaro".
Continuing the show with élan, Amitabh Bachcahn asks the next question about Commonwealth Games 2018 and the contestant gets it right winning Rs 80,000.
If you do not have television or if you are in transit and have a decent internet connection, you can still catch the show on Sony's OTT app SonyLIV. You can also stream the episodes on the SonyLIV website.

The quizmaster of Indian television, Amitabh Bachchan asks the first 'fastest finger first' question. Only one out of the ten contestants get the answer correct.
He begins the tenth season of KBC and introduces the ten contestants who have come from different regions of India to try their luck on the hot seat.
Amitabh Bachchan is back on the small screen in his patent style as he narrates a heartwarming poetry to motivate the audience of his quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
“KBC, through the years, has evolved in so many ways. It has become a reflection of the people of this country and their changing attitudes. You will see representatives of a New India every day on the hot seat. And once a week, KBC Karamveer will be featured as a tribute to these wonderful social change agents, who continue to work towards bringing about a change in the real transformation in society, with selfless dedication. They are truly an inspiration for many. Every Friday, a special episode has been dedicated to the inspirational Karamveers, which will see real-life heroes play for a cause as they speak about their extraordinary lives and work,” Siddhartha Basu said in a statement.
“My journey with KBC has been enriching in many ways. Year on year, I wait in anticipation to meet the KBC aspirants, who come with a hope to fulfill their dream – to achieve something big in life. Not many make it to the Hot Seat or are able to win big. But they give me a lot more in return. They give me the strength to move ahead with a smile, looking forward to a new day and new beginnings. I am truly inspired by each contestant and I am grateful for this experience,” Kaun Banega Crorepati 10 host Amitabh Bachchan said in a statement.
