Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh is all set to grace the hot seat on Amitabh Bachchan’s popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati 17. The show’s creators have been teasing viewers with a series of delightful and nostalgic promos ahead of the episode’s release, each capturing moments of laughter, warmth, and genuine connection between the two celebrated stars.
Among the many viral clips, one features Amitabh Bachchan humorously revealing that he has given up what he fondly refers to as Punjab’s special drink, sparking amusement among fans. In another light-hearted teaser, Diljit recalls not enjoying Amitabh’s 1991 film Saudagar as a child—a confession that adds a playful touch to their candid exchange.
The chemistry between the megastar and the Punjabi icon stands out through their easy banter. In one particularly funny segment, Diljit slyly refers to the drink as “chocolate milk,” saying he remembers Amitabh enjoying it and wonders how he managed to stay so fit afterward. Amitabh, with his signature grin, quickly replies that he has long given up Punjab’s special quality drink. The playful repartee earns laughter and applause from both the live audience and viewers online, perfectly encapsulating the show’s lighthearted tone.
Beyond the humor, Amitabh’s confession reflects a choice he made long ago. The veteran actor has often spoken about his decision to quit smoking, alcohol, and meat, emphasizing that it was purely a personal preference, not motivated by religious beliefs. He once admitted that in his younger days, while living in Calcutta, he was a heavy smoker—going through nearly 200 cigarettes daily—and consumed alcohol regularly. However, over time, he realized he didn’t need any of it and consciously adopted a simpler, healthier lifestyle.
The upcoming KBC 17 episode promises an evening rich in laughter, nostalgia, and heartfelt camaraderie. With Amitabh’s legendary poise and Diljit’s infectious charm, the two powerhouses bring together generations of cinema lovers. Fans can expect a vibrant mix of wit, music, and warmth that celebrates not just stardom but the timeless connection between artists. The special episode airs on Sony TV on October 31 at 9:00 p.m. and will also stream on Sony Liv.
