KBC 17 Contestant Wins Dinner at Bachchan's Home; Janvi's 'Kitne baje aau?' Goes Viral

Ever wonder what it takes to get a dinner invitation from a legend like Amitabh Bachchan? It’s the kind of thing people dream of. But for one contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, that dream just became a reality. All it took was some serious brainpower and a whole lot of confidence.

Meet Janvi Puraswani from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. She took her place on the hot seat during the October 9, 2025 episode and immediately showed she wasn’t just there to play. She was there to win. She completely dominated the “Super Sandook” segment, a fast-paced round that tests your knowledge under pressure. Janvi answered all ten questions correctly, bagging a cool 1 lakh points and leaving everyone stunned.

But here’s where the game show turned into a life-changing moment. Amitabh Bachchan, visibly impressed and even emotional, did something totally unexpected. He looked at Janvi and extended a personal invitation for her and her parents to come to his house for dinner. Right there, on national television.

“What Time Should I Come?”

Most people might be speechless. Not Janvi. Her response was pure gold and showed exactly why Bachchan was so impressed. Without missing a single beat, she enthusiastically shot back, “Kitne baje aau?” (What time should I come?). That single, confident question has everyone talking and is quickly going viral.

She didn’t stop there. When the topic of food came up, Janvi told Bachchan she’d happily eat whatever was prepared. She even added a sweet compliment, saying that she’s sure his wife Jaya Bachchan’s cooking is just as amazing as her own mother’s. You just can’t make this stuff up. It was a moment of genuine connection that went way beyond the typical quiz show format.

The episode was filled with these incredibly touching scenes. In another powerful moment, Janvi invited her father, who sells toothbrushes on trains to make a living, to come and sit with her on the prestigious hot seat. It was a beautiful tribute to her family’s hard work, a scene that clearly moved Big B.

How Her Smart Journey Ended

So, how did her impressive run on the show conclude? Janvi played a fantastic and strategic game, confidently climbing the money tree until she reached the crucial question for 7.5 lakh points. But after facing a tricky historical question, she made a tough call.

Despite having two lifelines still remaining, she chose to trust her gut and not take a risky guess. She decided to walk away with a very respectable 5 lakh points. Look, making a smart choice to secure a life-altering amount of money is a massive win in itself. It showed her intelligence wasn’t just about trivia, but about strategy too.

From admitting she was a little nervous meeting the superstar to charming him into a dinner invitation, Janvi Puraswani’s KBC journey is one for the books. It’s a fantastic reminder that sometimes, confidence and a quick wit are the biggest prizes you can ever win.

So, we have to ask. What’s the first thing you’d talk about with Amitabh Bachchan if you were invited to his house for dinner?
