Farhan Akhtar Hosts KBC Segment for Big B’s 83rd Birthday; Javed Akhtar Left Speechless by Banter

Hold up! Did you really think Farhan Akhtar replaced Amitabh Bachchan on KBC? Nah, you’ve gotta hear this. It’s way cooler than a simple host swap.

Here’s the thing: Farhan Akhtar and his dad, the legendary Javed Akhtar, dropped by Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17. But get this – it wasn’t just any episode. They were there to celebrate none other than Amitabh Bachchan’s 83rd birthday, which, you know, rolls around on October 11, 2025. Yeah, a total surprise party right on national TV!

So, during this super special birthday bash, something unexpected happened. Farhan Akhtar, for a brief, glorious segment, actually slipped into the host’s chair! Can you even imagine? He wasn’t just a guest; he took over, quizzing both his father, Javed Akhtar, and the Big B himself. Talk about a role reversal you never saw coming!

The episode? Oh, it was packed with so much more than questions. There was light-hearted banter that kept everyone laughing. And then, there were these incredibly emotional discussions, bringing back some real gems. You know, like when Amitabh Bachchan reminisced about working with Farhan on the film ‘Lakshya’. How cool is that?

A Night of Surprises and Smiles

Javed Akhtar, being the brilliant wordsmith he is, couldn’t help but praise his son. He actually noted a unique quality in Farhan, something he’s rarely found in anyone else in the film industry. That’s high praise, right? And when Farhan playfully asked about his popularity among the ladies? Javed’s reaction was just pure wit. You won’t want to miss it.

But wait, there’s more! Amitabh Bachchan himself pulled out a classic. He recreated an iconic dialogue from his film ‘Zanjeer’. And honestly, it impressed Javed Akhtar big time. It was a proper goosebumps moment, you guys. The promos, dropped by Sony TV on October 5, 2025, definitely hinted at this epic celebration, and news reports on October 6, 2025, spilled a few more beans.
