Sony TV Puts Rumours to Rest
Amidst the season’s growing buzz, social media was recently flooded with speculation suggesting that Salman Khan might be replacing Amitabh Bachchan as the show’s host. However, Sony TV has now issued a firm statement, categorically denying these claims and reaffirming Big B’s role as the face of the franchise.
In a statement to India Today, a senior Sony TV insider said, “It is bizarre that such news reports are coming in. There is no way Big B would be replaced on the show.” The channel made it clear that there are no changes in hosting duties, and Mr Bachchan will remain at the helm for the upcoming season.
Legends of the Small Screen
While both Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan are widely celebrated for their iconic hosting styles — with Khan commanding massive viewership on Bigg Boss and Bachchan defining the essence of KBC — Sony’s commitment to Bachchan underscores the irreplaceable connection he shares with the show and its audience.
As fans eagerly await the return of KBC’s signature theme music and the iconic question, “Computer ji, lock kiya jaye?”, there is no doubt that Amitabh Bachchan’s magic will once again light up screens across the nation.
The stage is set, the countdown has begun, and the legend is ready to ask — Kaun Banega Crorepati?
