Amitabh Bachchan announces KBC 17.
The wait is over! Kaun Banega Crorepati is officially returning for its 17th season. Just 24 days after the last season wrapped up on March 11, the makers have dropped an exciting new promo featuring none other than the legendary host, Amitabh Bachchan. With this announcement, the countdown for KBC 17 has begun, as registrations for the upcoming season kick off this month.
On April 4, Sony TV unveiled the official promo on its Instagram page, sending fans into a frenzy. The promo takes a humorous route, showing Amitabh Bachchan as a patient dealing with a stomachache. A doctor arrives to examine him but playfully suggests that Big B is hiding something, which is causing his discomfort. That’s when the megastar finally reveals the big news, registrations for Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 will begin on April 14.
The caption accompanying the promo read: “Taiyyar ho jaiye 14th April se hot seat par aane ke liye. KBC ke registration aur humare AB ke sawaal shuru hone hi wale hain.”
As soon as the promo dropped, fans flooded the comment section with excitement. One user wrote, “A great show, KBC!” while another chimed in, “This is so good!”
The previous season, Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, premiered on August 16, 2024, and ran until March 11, 2025. It was a star-studded affair, with celebrities like Aamir Khan, Junaid Khan, Vidya Balan, Farah Khan and Abhishek Bachchan gracing the hot seat to promote their projects. Their entertaining interactions with Amitabh Bachchan made the season truly memorable.
With registrations set to open soon, fans are eagerly waiting for further details, including the premiere date of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17. While the makers are yet to confirm when the new season will hit screens, one thing is for sure—the excitement surrounding KBC is higher than ever.
