Amitabh Bachchan with Abhishek Upmanyu

Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, continues to be more than a quiz. The show is now a mix of wit, warmth and life-changing moments. With Big B’s trademark charm and interesting anecdotes from the contestants, each episode turns out to be a treat for the viewers. The upcoming episode of KBC 17 will feature some of India’s most popular stand-up comedians: Harsh Gujral, Ravi Gupta, Abhishek Upmanyu and Anubhav Singh Bassi.

In one of the promos of the episode, we can see the banter between Amitabh and Abhishek, where the stand-up comedian jokingly says, “Mera naam Abhishek hai…Apna hi beta samajh kar sawaal puchiyega aur jaaydaad likhiyega.” The superstar burst into laughter at this humorous remark.

The fun continues as Big B sarcastically says he quit three jobs. To which Abhishek responds with his trademark poker-faced humour: “Some say I quit, but I say I got fired.” “Meri koi galti nahi thi, sir. Woh na, only negatives pe zyada dhyaan de rahe the. Jaise “time pe nahi aate ho.” Par yeh positive nahi dekhte ki jaata toh main time pe hi hoon,” he adds, leaving everyone divided.

Along with Abhishek Upmanyu, Anubhav Singh Bassi, Ravi Gupta and Harsh Gujral also left no stone unturned to make Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 one of the funniest and most entertaining episodes. This special episode can be watched on November 14, 2025 at 21:00 only on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 also had a very special episode where two stand-up comedians Samay Raina and Tanmay Bhat and two YouTubers (Bhuvan Bam and Kamiya Jani) joined Amitabh Bachchan on the hot seat.
