Television’s most loved quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 (KBC 17), is gearing up for a very special episode this October. The reason? The show’s legendary host, Amitabh Bachchan, will be ringing in his 83rd birthday, and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to make the occasion a memorable one.
As per reports, the special episode will see two celebrated names from the film industry gracing the hot seat—renowned lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar and filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar. Their presence is expected to add an emotional and nostalgic layer to the birthday celebration, considering their long-standing bond with Big B and the legacy they share in Indian cinema.
Over the decades, Javed Akhtar has penned some of the most iconic dialogues and songs that contributed to Amitabh Bachchan’s rise as Bollywood’s “angry young man.” From unforgettable scripts to legendary lyrics, his creative work has played a key role in shaping the superstar’s career. On the other hand, Farhan Akhtar represents the next generation of cinema, having directed and acted in films that showcased Bachchan in powerful roles, while also carving his own unique identity in the industry.
The episode will reportedly feature a blend of quiz rounds, storytelling, and light-hearted conversations. Viewers can expect Javed Akhtar to share anecdotes from the golden era of Hindi cinema, while Farhan may bring in a contemporary perspective along with personal stories connected to Bachchan. Together, the father-son duo’s appearance promises to be both entertaining and heartfelt.
For fans, this isn’t just another celebrity special—it’s a celebration of Amitabh Bachchan’s remarkable journey in the world of cinema and television. Known as the heart and soul of KBC, Big B has been hosting the quiz show for over two decades, making it a household favorite. His birthday episode is bound to be extra special, not only for the audience but also for the contestants and the team behind the show.
The buzz around the special installment is already high, and social media is abuzz with excitement as admirers of Bachchan eagerly wait to watch their favorite star being celebrated on his own stage. The blend of nostalgia, poetry, cinema, and of course, the charm of the megastar himself, is expected to make this episode one of the highlights of the season.
