Amitabh Bachchan is the face of the Indian adaptation of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire- named as Kaun Banega Crorepati. Ever since there were reports that Big B has stepped down from hosting the 17th season, his fans have been heartbroken. The news of Bachchan being replaced by Salman Khan has even made a few fans furious.
Now an insider has stepped in to clarify the matter. As per the report of India Today, a source informed the portal that there has no such discussions happening about replacing the host. The portal even quoted the source, "It is bizarre that such news reports are coming in. There is no way Big B would be replaced on the show."
Why Amitabh Bachchan was rumoured to leave Kaun Banega Crorepati 17
Bollywood Hungama reported, Bachchan decided to quit KBC, and he would be replaced by none other than Salman Khan. The portal quoted a source who confirmed that Salman is been considered to replace Bachchan, and said, "Salman Khan is the king of the small screen, and the best face to replace Amitabh Bachchan is him, as he also has a strong connect with the audience in the smaller centres. Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan has also hosted KBC, and if everything goes well, Salman will be the newest to take the television sets by storm."
In April 2025, a promo of KBC 17 was revealed by Amitabh Bachchan. In this video, Amitabh announced his return with a new season of the game show, along with participation dates. However, with this news, several die-hard fans of the game show and Big B are in shock. On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD.
