On Thursday, Amitabh Bachchan took to his Instagram, and shared a post for the show. However, his choice of picture was something that didn’t sit well with the post. The AI-generated picture was far from the show or its theme.

On Thursday, Amitabh Bachchan took to his Instagram, and shared a post for the show. However, his choice of picture was something that didn’t sit well with the post. The AI-generated picture was far from the show or its theme.
The actor nevertheless wrote in the caption, “Today 3rd July , 2025 , as I work on this years 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 (sic)”.

‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ is one of India’s most iconic television shows. It is also responsible for reviving the career of Big B, who back in time was facing a severe financial crunch. During the late 1990s, Big B’s production house, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation (AB Corp) had gone belly up, given its overly corporate approach in times when the industry followed a very traditional way of making movies.
In a bid to pay off the creditors, Big B took to the medium of television with KBC in 2000. Suddenly, a megastar, who earlier was only accessible on the silver screen, reached millions of Indian households through television. With the strength of a new medium by his side, Big B not just booked the primetime of India for himself but also made a place in the heart of every Indian family. The show was also hosted by Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan for one of its seasons but it didn’t get as much a good response from the audience compared to Big B’s stint.
25 years of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi
Celebrating the show's silver jubilee, Ekta took to social media to mark the occasion and shared the introduction video of the show while writing a nostalgic caption.

Talking about the special occasion, Smriti Irani, who moved from acting to politics, said, “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi isn’t just a show, it’s a shared memory. For those who created it and the millions who embraced it, it was a story of families, faith, and the fabric that binds us across generations. Twenty-five years later, it still lives in our hearts. My gratitude to those who made the journey possible”.
