Javed and Farhan Akhtar Grace Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 Set as Show Celebrates 25 Glorious Years

Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 continues to be a magnet for iconic moments, and this week’s highlight was the sighting of father-son duo Javed Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar on set. The legendary lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar arrived in his signature style, donning a striking red kurta with black pants, while Farhan Akhtar kept it smart-casual in a suede suit paired with a white T-shirt and sneakers, blending elegance with youthful energy.

 

The ongoing season, which premiered on August 11, 2025, carries extra weight as it marks the 25th anniversary of the beloved quiz show that first aired in July 2000. Hosted once again by the indomitable Amitabh Bachchan, KBC 17 continues to air on Sony Entertainment Television and streams on the SonyLIV app, bringing quiz thrills and inspiring stories to living rooms across the country.

 

This season’s theme, “Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahan Akad Hai”—translating to “Where there is intellect, there is confidence”—perfectly reflects the spirit of both the show and its celebrity guests. The appearance of Javed and Farhan Akhtar, both icons in their respective fields, added gravitas to the show’s anniversary season. Their presence sparked speculation about a special segment or an episode celebrating cinema, poetry, or family legacies in Indian entertainment.

 

As Kaun Banega Crorepati celebrates 25 years of empowering minds and making knowledge cool, the sight of three generations of Indian legends—Amitabh, Javed, and Farhan—sharing the same stage is more than a nostalgic moment; it’s a celebration of cultural continuity and creative brilliance.
