Sony TV’s iconic quiz reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati has once again gripped audiences in its 17th season. In the latest episode, contestant Aditya Kumar created history by becoming the first crorepati of this season. Sitting across from host Amitabh Bachchan on the hot seat, Aditya showcased both composure and brilliance as he steadily advanced toward the jackpot. With 13 correct answers so far, he has already secured Rs 25 lakh and now stands just four questions away from the grand prize of Rs 7 crore.

The Rs 25 lakh milestone came when Aditya was asked a question about the Grammy Awards: “Who among these talented musicians accompanied legendary violinist Yehudi Menuhin on the Grammy-winning album West Meets East?” The correct answer was Pandit Ravi Shankar, which Aditya confidently chose, taking his prize money to the next level.

During a light-hearted interaction, Amitabh Bachchan asked Aditya about his ambitions. The contestant, who is already serving as a Deputy Commandant, revealed his dream of joining the National Security Guard (NSG). His dedication and clarity of purpose left the megastar visibly impressed.

The excitement, however, is far from over. Just as Aditya was gearing up to face the 14th question, the hooter rang, signaling the end of the episode. But the preview for the upcoming episode has left audiences on the edge of their seats. It shows Amitabh Bachchan congratulating Aditya after he cracks the Rs 1 crore question and then nervously presenting him with the ultimate question worth Rs 7 crore. The tension and thrill on Aditya’s face are enough to heighten the anticipation for what comes next.

Viewers will now have to wait for the next episode to see if Aditya Kumar can turn his dream run into one of the most remarkable moments in KBC history.
