In one of the episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati, when a young contestant was on the hot seat, Amitabh Bachchan asked him about online dating. The contestant then explained how he downloaded the app, made the profile, updated the bio, and uploaded good pictures. Big B looked surprised after learning about the steps one has to take while making a profile for online dating. 

The contestant further elaborated on how similarly everyone has access to see other people's profiles, and when a person likes the other person, they can right-swipe that person's profile. The Piku actor then interrupted and asked whether women also create such profiles and share their details. To which, the contestant had shared that even women do this. This left Big B in splits.
