In the promo, Bachchan is shown lying on a couch, seemingly in discomfort. When questioned by a doctor about his symptoms, he wittily replies that he hasn’t eaten anything suspicious. The doctor jokes that it might be “some gossip” causing the pain.
Moments later, Amitabh drops the surprise:
“Registrations for KBC Season 17 start from April 14.”
He then admits the stomach ache was just acting, with a smile:
“No actual pain.”
Registration and Air Date Details
Registrations Start: April 14, 2025

Expected Air Date: August 2025
SonyTV is planning some fresh changes to the format to enhance viewer engagement. Contestant videos and personal stories will again be at the heart of the show.
A Show of Emotions and Impact
In a recent blog post, Bachchan reflected on KBC's emotional journey:
“The dire circumstances contestants come from, their stories, and the transformation they experience sitting on the hot seat is deeply moving. It’s not just a game—it’s a platform of hope.”
Legacy of KBC and Amitabh Bachchan
Kaun Banega Crorepati debuted in 2000, with Amitabh Bachchan as its iconic host. He has hosted every season except the third in 2007, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan.
As KBC 17 gears up for its return, fans across the country are eagerly waiting to see Big B back on the 'hot seat', delivering knowledge, humor, and inspiration.
