Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek Hilariously Turn Tables on Amitabh Bachchan in KBC 17 Special Episode

The seventeenth season of the popular Indian quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) continues to captivate audiences with its blend of intellectual challenges and light-hearted entertainment, as evidenced by a recent promotional video that has gone viral. Hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, the show premiered on August 11, 2025, on Sony TV and has become a staple for viewers seeking trivia, personal anecdotes, and celebrity interactions. In the latest teaser released on October 20, 2025, by the production team, renowned comedians Krushna Abhishek and Sunil Grover made a surprise appearance as special guests on the iconic hot seat. Their infectious energy and comedic prowess not only entertained the studio audience but also left Bachchan, often called the "Big B" of Bollywood, in fits of laughter, highlighting the show's enduring appeal as a family-friendly programme that balances competition with humour.

The promo clip, which has already garnered significant buzz on social media platforms, opens with Sunil Grover channelling his alter ego from the 2017 hit song "Mere Husband Mujhko Pyaar Nahi Karte", a satirical take on marital woes that first gained him fame on The Kapil Sharma Show. Grover's exaggerated expressions and impeccable timing elicited immediate chuckles from Bachchan and the crowd. The hilarity escalated when Grover unleashed his signature mimicry skills, donning an outfit identical to Bachchan's signature all-black ensemble and commandeering the host's chair.

With Bachchan humorously relegated to the contestant's seat, Grover flipped the script, quizzing the megastar in a spot-on imitation of his deep, resonant voice. "Inko dekh ke aisa lag raha hai ki main apne aap se hi baate kar raha hoon," Bachchan quipped, translating to "Seeing him feels like I am talking to myself," a line that perfectly captured the surreal, self-referential comedy of the moment. This segment underscores Grover's versatility as a performer who has built a career on celebrity impressions, from Shah Rukh Khan to international icons, adding a layer of meta-humour to KBC's format.

Krushna Abhishek, known for his drag personas and quick-witted banter, complemented Grover's antics with his own brand of slapstick. In one standout exchange, Grover posed an absurdly playful question to Bachchan: "Choti Diwali, badi Diwali se kitni chhoti hoti hai? Ya toh uski height chhoti hai isliye woh chhoti hai?" – roughly, "How much smaller is Choti Diwali compared to Badi Diwali? Or is it that its height is short, and that's why it's called small?" The nonsensical query, riffing on the Hindu festival of lights celebrated just days before the promo's release, sparked another round of uproarious laughter, with Bachchan visibly struggling to maintain composure.

Grover even playfully admonished a fictional audience member attempting to exit mid-performance, yelling in mock sternness, further amplifying the chaotic joy. These moments reflect the duo's chemistry, honed over years of collaboration on comedy circuits and shows like The Great Indian Kapil Show, where they often portray feuding siblings or over-the-top characters. Their appearance injects fresh vitality into KBC, reminding viewers of the programme's roots in accessible, relatable fun amid high-stakes questions.

As the segment wound down, the trio settled into a more heartfelt chat, where Krushna reflected on their dynamic: "Ek mauka mila jab main usse Sunil bhai keh raha hoon, warna apne show pe toh har hafte hum behene hote hai" – "I got one chance to call him Sunil brother; otherwise, on our show, every week we are playing sisters." This nod to their cross-dressing routines on Kapil's platform humanised the stars, bridging the gap between scripted hilarity and genuine camaraderie. Bachchan, ever the gracious host, praised their talent, emphasising how such episodes keep the show relevant in an era dominated by streaming giants.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 airs weekdays on Sony TV and streams on SonyLIV, ensuring fans can relive these gems. With episodes blending education, emotion, and entertainment, the season promises more surprises, solidifying its status as India's premier quiz spectacle. As Diwali festivities fade, this promo serves as a timely burst of joy, proving laughter remains the ultimate jackpot.
