Kaun Banega Crorepati season 17 to begin from April 17, Amitabh Bachchan reveals registration date in new promo

The much-loved quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati is all set to return with its 17th season, once again hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. Sony TV dropped an engaging new promo on April 4 via Instagram, building excitement ahead of the opening of the registration lines.

In the quirky and entertaining clip, Amitabh is seen lying on a couch, pretending to be in pain while a doctor examines him and questions the cause. Big B humorously insists he hasn’t indulged in any “chatar patar” (junk food) that could be troubling his stomach. The doctor then playfully suggests that it might be a juicy piece of gossip causing the turmoil.

After pondering for a moment, Amitabh finally reveals the real reason behind the drama — the registration for Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 is set to begin on April 14. He quickly clarifies that he was just acting and in perfect health, ending the promo on a light-hearted note. The fun-filled teaser has already piqued fans' curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming season.
