Overview

• A Sony TV promo on X shows Uttarakhand’s Aditya Kumar correctly answering the Rs 1 crore question to become Season 17’s first crorepati.
• He advanced to the 16th question and has chosen to attempt the Rs 7 crore jackpot, risking a fallback to Rs 75 lakh if his answer is incorrect.
• Hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, KBC Season 17 premiered August 11 and airs Monday–Friday at 9 p.m. on Sony TV and streams on SonyLIV.
• The season’s new features—timed prelims, the Sanket Suchak hint lifeline and an expanded money ladder—are designed to accelerate contestants toward higher stakes.
• Official clips and social media posts remain the primary sources for early-season developments ahead of the telecast that will confirm Kumar’s final result.
