Aamir Khan, Preity Zinta, Sunny Deol join Amitabh Bachchan for star-studded 'KBC 18' premiere
Mumbai, August 8
'Kaun Banega Crorepati' is set to return with its 18th season with a star-studded opening episode featuring Bollywood stars Aamir Khan, Preity Zinta and Sunny Deol alongside legendary host Amitabh Bachchan.
Sunny Deol will make his debut on the Kaun Banega Crorepati hot seat, while Aamir and Preity will join him for the grand premiere of the popular quiz-based reality show.
The new season has been built around the theme 'Sochna Padega', celebrating the power of applied knowledge, sharp thinking and intellectual gameplay.
A recently released promo shared by Sony Entertainment Television shows Aamir Khan engaging in a light-hearted exchange with Amitabh Bachchan over the season's theme.
The latest promo shared by Sony Entertainment Television, featuring Aamir Khan asking the megastar, "Aapne kaha hain aapke promo main 'Sochna Padega,' toh kya sochna padega?" (You mentioned in your promo 'Sochna Padega' (You'll have to think)... so what is it that one has to think about?)
The veteran host added, "Itna aasan nahi honewala hain, kyunki sochna padta hai na bhaisahab." (It's not going to be that easy, because brother, one actually has to think) Quick to respond, Aamir chimes, "Sochna Padega, Sir waakai sochna padega."('Sochna Padega'... Sir, truly, one really will have to think)
"Aapne kaha hain aapke promo main 'Sochna Padega,' toh kya sochna padega?" Aamir asks Bachchan in the promo. ("You mentioned in your promo 'Sochna Padega' (You'll have to think)... so what is it that one has to think about?")
Responding with his trademark wit, Big B says, "Itna aasan nahi honewala hain, kyunki sochna padta hai na bhaisahab." (It's not going to be that easy, because brother, one actually has to think.)
Aamir quickly responds, "Sochna Padega, Sir waakai sochna padega," (Sochna Padega'... Sir, truly, one really will have to think.)
'Kaun Banega Crorepati' Season 18 will premiere on Monday, August 10, at 9 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.

KBC is back! ❤️ This show is like Diwali for Indian families. We all sit together, shout answers at the TV, and feel smart when we get one right before the contestant. The star-studded premiere is a nice touch but honestly, I watch for Mr. Bachchan's wisdom and the common people's stories. That "Sochna Padega" theme is perfect for today's generation where everyone just Googles everything, no one actually thinks deeply anymore!
It feels like 2005 again when KBC was the talk of every household! The chemistry between Aamir and Big B is always special - remember their Lagaan connection? But Sunny Deol being there, that's the wildcard. Man is known for action, curious to see him in a thinking game! 😄
Respectfully, I wish they'd focus on regular contestants instead of Bollywood faces. The real heroes of KBC are the school teachers from small towns, the farmers, the housewives who dream big. But I understand the TRP game. Hope the actual episodes bring back the magic and "Sochna Padega" lives up to its promise.
Preity Zinta's return to the small screen after so long! 😍 She's still our "Kya karein, kya na karein" girl. And Aamir with his "waakai" style - this promo already gave me laughs. KBC is more than a quiz show, it's a family ritual. We've watched it from DD Metro to Sony LIV, now on OTT. Time flies! ⏰
