KBC 17 Premieres: Amitabh Bachchan Back with New Season

The popular quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) is back with its 17th season, Amitabh Bachchan hosting the show once again. The show premiered on August 11th on Sony TV at 9 PM. For those unable to watch on television, the show is available on Sony LIV and OTT Play Premium. This season marks KBC’s silver jubilee, promising an exceptional viewing experience. The first episode will include major announcements. The season’s tagline is ‘Jahan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai.’ The top prize of 7 crore rupees is up for grabs, and the show will use the same format with multiple-choice questions and lifelines. Despite his many seasons as host, Amitabh Bachchan still experiences pre-show nerves.
