Salman Khan May Replace Amitabh Bachchan as Host of Kaun Banega Crorepati – Here’s Why
ACCORDING TO THE http://WWW.PINKVILLA.COM
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Sony Entertainment Television is actively exploring options to replace Amitabh Bachchan as the host of its long-running and iconic quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). Preliminary discussions have reportedly begun with superstar Salman Khan, who is currently seen as one of the top contenders for the role.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Possible Exit
During the 16th season of KBC, Amitabh Bachchan hinted to the audience that he might not return as the host for Season 17. Citing his advancing age, it is believed that the veteran actor may step away from the show, prompting Sony TV to search for a suitable replacement who can match Bachchan’s stature and appeal.
Since its debut in 2000, KBC has become a cultural phenomenon in India, with Amitabh Bachchan hosting nearly every season—except for Season 3 in 2006, which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan due to Bachchan’s health issues at the time. The megastar’s dignified and engaging hosting style has been a major factor in the show’s massive popularity.
Salman Khan in the Running
Salman Khan, who has extensive experience hosting high-TRP reality shows like Bigg Boss and Dus Ka Dum, is being considered a strong candidate. Known for his unique hosting style and massive fan following, Salman could bring a fresh energy to KBC while maintaining its legacy.
Industry insiders suggest that Salman’s name is not only under consideration but may be the frontrunner, especially in light of his proven success as a television host. His transition to KBC could mark a new chapter for the show, continuing its appeal to a broad Indian audience.
