Kaun Banega Crorepati has been a beloved show for Indian audiences for years. It’s not just a quiz-based reality show, but an emotion for millions. The biggest reason for its lasting appeal is Amitabh Bachchan. His charm, calm presence, and signature greetings like “Deviyon aur Sajjano” have made the show iconic. But now, a major update is doing the rounds in the entertainment industry.
According to recent reports, the makers of Kaun Banega Crorepati might be considering a fresh face for the upcoming season. Not just any face but the Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is reportedly in advanced discussions to take over as the host. If things go as planned, Salman might replace Amitabh Bachchan for Kaun Banega Crorepati 17.
A report from Bollywood Hungama claims that the team is in talks with Salman Khan. Discussions about dates, contracts, and finances are going on actively. A source close to the development revealed that Salman is being seriously considered because of his strong bond with the audience. The source reportedly stated that Salman Khan is the best option after Big B, as he too enjoys massive popularity across age groups.
It isn’t the first time the show has thought about trying a new host. Shah Rukh Khan once took over for a couple of seasons. But audiences remained loyal to Amitabh Bachchan’s aura. This time, the circumstances appear different. The reports suggest that Amitabh Bachchan might be stepping away from hosting duties for personal reasons. While no official statement from the actor has been released, it has added to the curiosity.
Interestingly, the announcement for Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 had already happened on April 4. The teaser featured none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself, inviting participants to register for the new season. This raised expectations that Big B would return once again. However, since then, there has been no final word about the host for this season.
Salman Khan has been hosting Bigg Boss for several years now and is known for his candid, humorous, and sometimes intense hosting style. If he takes over Kaun Banega Crorepati, it would be a big shift in the show’s overall tone.
As of now, registration for the show is open, and eager participants have already begun applying. Until an official announcement is made, the audience can only wait and wonder who will finally greet them with the famous line, “Kaun Banega Crorepati?”
