The 17th season of the popular quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) is set to make a grand return. Amitabh Bachchan, the iconic host, will once again grace the show with his presence, engaging the audience with his questions and charm. The show premiered on August 11th at 9 PM on Sony TV. For viewers who cannot watch on television, it will also be available on the OTT platforms Sony LIV and OTT Play Premium, requiring a premium subscription. This season marks a special occasion for KBC, celebrating its silver jubilee. Makers promise that KBC 17 will be one of the most unique shows on Indian television. The show will feature significant announcements in the first episode, which will undoubtedly heighten viewer excitement. A new campaign, ‘Jahan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai’ (Where there is intelligence, there is confidence) has also been launched, serving as the tagline for this season. The prize money for this season remains at 7 crore rupees, and the format will stay the same, with contestants answering multiple-choice questions and using lifelines like 50:50, audience poll, and video a friend. Despite his vast experience hosting the show, Amitabh Bachchan admits to feeling nervous at the start of each season. Reports suggest Amitabh Bachchan will be paid 5 crore rupees per episode, though this has not been confirmed.
