If your evenings feel incomplete without that familiar voice asking, “Toh chaliye khelte hain… Kaun Banega Crorepati,” then get ready to smile—KBC Season 17 is returning on August 11, 2025, and it’s bigger, grander, and closer to the heart than ever before.
For those of us who’ve laughed, cried, and celebrated victories with strangers sitting on the Hot Seat, KBC isn’t just a quiz show—it’s a part of our lives. Whether it’s watching it with your parents after dinner or guessing answers from the sofa, this show holds memories like no other.
Amitabh Bachchan – A Presence That Feels Like Family
When Mr. Amitabh Bachchan enters the screen, it doesn’t feel like watching a host—it feels like welcoming a respected elder into your living room. With every kind word, emotional moment, or smile he shares, he wins over hearts across generations. At 82, he’s still the soul of KBC. And yes, he’s reportedly being paid ₹5 crore per episode—but for the audience, he’s priceless.
From his iconic jackets to the way he says, “Lock kiya jaaye?”—everything about Big B feels personal. KBC fans know: it’s not just about the questions, it’s about the journey.

The Perfect Prime Time Ritual
Starting August 11, 2025, your TV evenings are about to get meaningful again. KBC will air Monday to Friday at 9:00 PM on Sony TV, and if you miss it, you can always catch up on SonyLIV. But let’s be honest—there’s nothing quite like watching it live with your family and shouting the answers before the contestant does!
This season, with new graphics, updated lifelines, and a faster interface, the show promises a fresh look while keeping the charm you love.
