With its unique blend of entertainment, inspiration, and information, Kaun Banega Crorepati, one of the greatest non-fiction programmes on Indian television, continues to enthral viewers year after year. Amitabh Bachchan is the show's host.

The show includes celebrities as guests who inject a little humour and emotion into the hot seat, in addition to challenging candidates with thought-provoking questions.

In addition to posing challenging questions to competitors, the show invites celebrities to participate, which injects some humour and passion into the hot seat. With well-known comedians Krushna Abhishek and Sunil Grover joining the show, the next episode is sure to be a laughing fit following the unforgettable visits of Farhan Akhtar, Javed Akhtar, and Rishab Shetty.

Krushna, who is well-known for his flawless comedic timing and light-hearted antics, will joke around with Amitabh Bachchan, reminisce about his early years, and amuse the host and audience with his signature wit.

"My parents named me Abhishek after your son, because they were huge fans," Krushna said in his interview with Amitabh, explaining why he changed his name from Abhishek to Krushna Abhishek. However, since Abhishek was already a star, my PR staff recommended a change when I started working in movies. My father changed my name to Krushna since I am a devotee of Krishna.

Krushna and Sunil Grover also engaged in light-hearted comedy when a fan questioned Krushna about his equation and pairing with Sudesh Lahiri. The story had Amitabh Bachchan and the audience in splits.
