Krushna Abhishek Asks Amitabh Bachchan KBC 17 Salary; Big B Left Laughing Aloud

Ever wonder what Bollywood’s biggest stars earn? You know, for those iconic shows? Well, someone actually went there. And you won’t believe Amitabh Bachchan’s reaction!

Look, Krushna Abhishek, the comedian, he did it. During a special Diwali episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, he just straight up asked Big B, “Aap kitne paise lete ho?” Yeah, you heard that right. He asked Amitabh Bachchan how much he gets paid for KBC! Can you even imagine?

And what happened? Bachchan, the legend himself, was left laughing aloud. Completely in splits. It’s not every day someone puts the megastar on the spot like that, is it?

But honestly, Krushna wasn’t just Krushna. He was disguised as Dharmendra, adding to the whole hilarious scene. He started with some lighthearted banter, joking about “imposters” and how good Bachchan looked in his “getup.” And then, boom! The question came.

You know, this KBC 17 Diwali special isn’t just about Krushna’s audacious question. The episode also features Sunil Grover. He’s another comedy genius, and he totally mimicked Amitabh Bachchan. Plus, he even encouraged the megastar to perform his signature dance moves. Talk about a double dose of entertainment!

Sunil Grover also performed a super comical song, “Mere Husband Mujhko Pyaar Nahi Karte.” And guess what? That too left Amitabh Bachchan thoroughly entertained. It’s like a comedy festival on your TV screen!

Here’s the thing about KBC. The show, it started in 2025. And can you believe it’s already in its seventeenth season? Seventeen seasons! That’s a long run. Amitabh Bachchan has hosted a whopping 16 of those seasons. Only Shah Rukh Khan hosted one season. That just shows you the enduring power of Big B.

But hey, it’s not just the audience feeling the buzz. Krushna Abhishek’s sister, television actress Arti Singh, she was beaming with pride. She publicly expressed how proud she was of her brother appearing on the show with Amitabh Bachchan. She even called Bachchan “the most humble person ever.” Pretty high praise, right?

So, when can you catch this epic moment? A new promotional video for the Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 Diwali special, featuring Krushna Abhishek and Sunil Grover, already aired Sunday, prior to October 20, 2025. And the big day? The actual Diwali special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 is scheduled to air on Monday, October 20, 2025. Set your reminders, you won’t want to miss this!

Imagine being there, watching Big B’s reaction live. What would you have done if you were in Krushna’s shoes? Would you dare ask?
