KBC Seasons overview

KBC premiered on 3 July 2000 and was hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. The show initially offered contestants the chance to win Rs. 1 crore. The season ended on 31 December 2001.

On 5 August 2005, the returned with its second season, and the top prize amount was doubled to Rs. 2 crore. The show was ended abruptly due to the health issues of Senior Bachchan. 

Star Television recruited Shah Rukh Khan to host the third season of the show when Big B declined. After a three-year and half hiatus, Amitabh Bachchan returned with the fourth season and the show was moved from Star Plus to Sony TV. The total prize money for this season was ₹1 crore, and a jackpot question for ₹5 crore.

Since then, Big B has been hosting the show and now Season 16 has a new option called Super Sawaa. This is a bonus question that will be made available after the initial five questions. Contestants get the chance to use 'dugaanastra' with Super Sawaal. It will allow them to win double the amount of money if the question is correctly answered. The twist is that contestants cannot use Lifeline for this question.
