In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan corrected a contestant for calling unmarried women a 'burden'. It all began when competitor Krishna Selukar disclosed that, despite having an engineering degree, he lost his job during the coronavirus-induced lockdown. He then compared his predicament to that of an unmarried woman, saying, "If I say that an unmarried lady is a burden to her family, then after an age, an unemployed man is also a burden."
