Kaun Banega Crorepati, one of the best non-fiction shows on Indian television, continues to captivate audiences year after year with its blend of knowledge, inspiration, and entertainment — all brought to life by the inimitable Amitabh Bachchan. The show not only challenges contestants with thought-provoking questions but also welcomes celebrity guests who add a dash of fun and emotion to the hot seat.

After memorable appearances by Farhan Akhtar, Javed Akhtar, and Rishab Shetty, the upcoming episode is set to turn into a laughter riot with popular comedians Krushna Abhishek and Sunil Grover joining the show. Known for his impeccable comic timing and playful antics, Krushna will engage in light-hearted banter with Amitabh Bachchan, share anecdotes from his early days, and entertain both the host and the audience with his trademark wit.


Here's why Krushna Abhishek changed his name



During his conversation with Amitabh, Krushna went on to reveal why he changed his name from Abhishek to Krushna Abhishek, revealing, "My parents named me Abhishek after your son, as they were big fans. But when I entered films, my PR team suggested a change since Abhishek had already become a star. Being a Krishna bhakt, my dad renamed me Krushna.”

Krushna then made a dramatic entry on set, as Dharmendra, and had a playful, delightful conversation with Amitabh Bachchan. Krushna elaborated, "Yahan bahut nakli log ghum rahe hai (There are many imposters here)."

Krushna Abhishek asked Amitabh Bachchan about his salary

Krushna then commented that Amitabh is an imposter rather than his true personality, saying, "Aap getup mein ache lagte ho (you look good in the getup)."

Krushna went on to inquire about Amitabh Bachchan's salary for Kaun Banega Crorepati: "Aap kitne paise lete ho (How much do you get paid)." Amitabh laughs aloud in response to the brazen question.

Apart from Krushna, even Sunil Grover left the fans entertained as he entered the stage in Big B's getup. He not only left the audience laughing but even Amitabh Bachchan was in splits. They even danced to the iconic numbers together. 

Packed with humour and fun stories, this episode promises to be unforgettable. Fans of Krushna Abhishek, Sunil Grover and Amitabh Bachchan are eagerly anticipating their fun-filled interactions and the laughter-filled moments they’ll share on screen.
