‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ has been a beloved fixture on Indian television since its debut in 2000. It has transformed the lives of countless contestants, offering them a chance to win huge sums of money by answering general knowledge questions.
The show has a simple yet captivating format: contestants answer a series of multiple-choice questions, with the prize amount increasing with every correct answer. Lifelines, like “Phone a Friend” and “50:50,” provide support when contestants are unsure of an answer.
This year’s theme for KBC Season 17 is “Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahaan Akad Hai”, which translates to “Where there is wisdom, there is confidence.”
In a previous statement, Amitabh Bachchan spoke about how ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ has always been a platform to celebrate knowledge and the quiet pride that it brings.
‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ is an Indian adaptation of the global franchise ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’, which has been popular in numerous countries around the world. While Amitabh has hosted almost every season, there was one exception: during the third season, Shah Rukh Khan took over as the host.
