KBC 17: Fans Demand A Break for the show to maintain Legacy, as Amitabh Bachchan Announces New Season

Sony TV's popular game show, "Kaun Banega Crorepati," is set to return for its 17th season, with registration lines opening soon. The news was announced with a new promo featuring the iconic host, Amitabh Bachchan. However, the quick return of the show has sparked mixed reactions from fans. While some are eager to see the show back on their screens, many have expressed their disappointment with the rapid return, taking to social media to voice their concerns.

The show's 16th season ended in February. One of the fans wrote, "give it break nahi toh iski legacy udd jayegi ye b or shows ki tarah flop rhega already recent season ki rating lowest thi kbc ki history me”

A person said, “Har 6 months k baad same show Aajata inka abhi Indian Idol khtm hoga 6 months baad again nya season aajayga (Every 6 months, the same show comes back — like now Indian Idol will end, and after 6 months, a new season will be back again."

In a humorous twist, Amitabh Bachchan's latest promo for "Kaun Banega Crorepati" sees him feigning stomach pain. While on the couch with a doctor, he assures the doctor that he hasn't eaten any street food, yet his stomach is in turmoil. The doctor suggests it might be gossip causing the discomfort, but Amitabh cleverly uses the moment to announce the opening of registration lines for KBC 17 on April 14th. He assures fans that it was all an act and he's perfectly fine.

The registration period will run until April 14th, followed by auditions, contestant shortlisting, and the creation of video packages. The 17th season of "Kaun Banega Crorepati" is expected to premiere in August. Amitabh Bachchan, a mainstay of the show since its inception in 2000, has only missed hosting the third season, which was helmed by Shah Rukh Khan. His continued presence on the show is a testament to its enduring popularity and his iconic status in Indian television.
