On July 3rd, 2025, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), one of India’s most iconic television shows, marks a remarkable milestone — 25 glorious years since its first episode aired. Debuting on July 3rd, 2000, the show transformed the landscape of Indian television with its unique format that combined knowledge, aspirations, and drama. Over the years, it has become more than just a quiz show; it's a platform of hope, empowerment, and inspiration, cherished by millions across the country.
Commemorating the 25th anniversary, megastar Amitabh Bachchan took to Instagram to share a nostalgic moment with his fans. He wrote, "Today 3rd July , 2025 , as I work on this year's season KBC prep, I am told by the KBC team - 3rd July 2000, the first broadcast of KBC happened .. 25 years , the life of KBC ! 
”
While the format of KBC is rooted in the globally recognized Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, it was Amitabh Bachchan’s presence that gave the Indian version its unique emotional depth and cultural resonance. His gravitas, warmth, and dignified hosting style turned KBC into more than just a game show — it became a household ritual. The bond he shares with contestants, his iconic lines like “Lock kiya jaaye?”, and his empathetic storytelling have made the show synonymous with his name. Over the years, despite a few changes in format and hosts, it’s Bachchan who continues to be the enduring face of KBC.
Even as he completes 25 years with KBC, Amitabh Bachchan shows no signs of slowing down. With multiple projects lined up, including his roles in upcoming films, brand endorsements, and social initiatives, he remains as active and relevant as ever.
As KBC celebrates 25 years, it's also a celebration of Amitabh Bachchan — the man who made knowledge aspirational, gave dreams a voice, and connected with a nation, one question at a time.
