For over two decades, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) has remained one of India’s most loved television shows, winning audiences with its unique blend of knowledge, emotions and inspiring stories. The show continues to connect with viewers across generations for several reasons.
A major highlight of KBC has been the unmatched presence of host Amitabh Bachchan, whose warmth, humility and connection with contestants have made the show memorable. His iconic phrases and engaging hosting style have become a part of Indian television culture.
Only once during its 20-year journey on Indian television, ‘KBC’ — the third season — was not hosted by Bachchan. Instead, Shah Rukh Khan was roped in to do the honours. After that season, the show reverted to the host who had started the phenomenon called ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. And, he continues to anchor it till date.
According to a SET press release, over the years, KBC has celebrated the power of knowledge by giving contestants from different backgrounds a chance to transform their lives.
The inspiring journeys of teachers, farmers, students, professionals and homemakers have created emotional moments that resonate with millions of viewers.
The show has also become a family tradition, bringing people of all ages together to learn, participate and enjoy. Beyond entertainment, ‘KBC’ continues to inspire audiences by highlighting dreams, determination and the belief that knowledge can change lives.
