All about KBC
The popular Hindi adaptation of Who Wants to be a Millionaire franchise was launched in India two decades back in 2000. Ever since then, KBC has enjoyed a massive craze and fan following among the public and is considered one of the most successful reality shows of the country.
Its game format is also inspired by Who Wants to be a Millionaire where participants have to answer a number of multiple choices based questions in order to win prize money which keeps on increasing after each rightly answered question.
Save for KBC’s third season, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan has hosted the rest of the 14 seasons of the show and is now once again geared up to be a part of its 15th season that will air on SonyLiv from 14 august.
