The seventeenth season of India's beloved quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati continues to deliver unforgettable moments as host Amitabh Bachchan welcomes a special group of stand-up comedians to the hot seat. In a delightful twist, the legendary actor himself tried his hand at stand-up comedy, creating one of the most memorable episodes in the show's 25-year history.
Big B's Hilarious Stand-Up Debut
In a surprising turn of events, Amitabh Bachchan showcased his comedic timing by attempting stand-up comedy on the latest episode. The promos released by the show's makers on their official social media platforms reveal Big B delivering punchlines that left everyone in splits. His natural flair for comedy shone through as he entertained both the live audience and his special guests.
The moment became so impactful that comedian Harsh Gujral jokingly remarked, "Sir, you are Badshah of acting, you can do singing too, now you have done stand-up too, I think we all should go back to our village." This heartfelt compliment highlighted how Bachchan's versatility continues to amaze audiences even after decades in the entertainment industry.
Comedians Bring Laughter to the Hot Seat
The episode featured four prominent stand-up comedians - Abhishek Upmanyu, Harsh Gujral, Anubhav Singh Bassi, and Ravi Gupta - who made a grand entrance by touching Big B's feet in traditional Indian respect. The audience welcomed them with thunderous applause, prompting Harsh to humorously note, "The audience never claps this much at our shows," which generated more laughter.
During their interaction, Amitabh Bachchan engaged in a witty conversation with Abhishek Upmanyu, pointing out that he had left three jobs before pursuing comedy. Abhishek responded with his characteristic humor, "Some people say I quit, but I say I got kicked out," leaving Big B in fits of laughter.
Continuing KBC's Comedy Tradition
This isn't the first time comedians have graced the KBC stage. The previous season featured Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhatt, and Bhuvan Bam, who similarly created a lighthearted atmosphere. The current episode appears to recreate that same fun vibe while adding Big B's own comedic attempt as the highlight.
Season 17 has been particularly star-studded, having previously welcomed global star Diljit Dosanjh, who had a heartwarming moment touching Amitabh Bachchan's feet on set. Other notable guests this season include Rishab Shetty, Farhan Akhtar, and Javed Akhtar, making this one of the most diverse and entertaining seasons in recent memory.
As Kaun Banega Crorepati completes 25 years of entertaining Indian audiences, episodes like these demonstrate why the show remains a television staple, constantly reinventing itself while maintaining its core values of knowledge, inspiration, and now, plenty of laughter.
