Salman Khan in Talks to Replace Amitabh Bachchan as Host of Kaun Banega Crorepati
Reports say talks are going well, and Salman Khan is being considered to host the popular quiz show, which airs on Sony Entertainment Television. Khan has experience hosting shows like Dus Ka Dum and Bigg Boss, so he knows how to work with the audience. His popularity, especially in small towns, makes him a good choice.
One source said, 'Salman Khan is well-known and good at hosting shows. If he hosts, the show will change a lot.'
Kaun Banega Crorepati has had other hosts before. Shah Rukh Khan hosted it for one season, but Amitabh Bachchan returned and has been hosting it for over 20 years.
The production team is still figuring out the details, like how much Salman Khan will be paid and when filming will happen. If they agree, Khan may start filming later this year. He is also preparing for his new movie, which will start filming in July. Salman will likely also host Bigg Boss again. Neither Salman Khan nor Sony Entertainment has made an official announcement yet.

Actress Sana Makbul, who emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, took to social media to mark one year since her life transforming victory. In a heartfelt post, Sana shared how the journey wasn't just about the title, but about growth, gratitude, and transformation. 'One year ago, on this date, my life changed. Winning Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 wasn't just a title it was the beginning of a journey I will forever cherish. This past year has been nothing short of magical, intense, eye opening, and deeply humbling,' she wrote. The actress also expressed deep appreciation for her supporters. 'I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you those who stood by me, believed in me, supported me, prayed for me, even those who quietly observed from afar or parted ways along the journey. Every presence, every absence, every moment has shaped me.' Reflecting on how life has evolved, Sana added, 'Life truly came full circle: health, wealth, love, lessons it all danced together in perfect chaos. Some bonds deepened, some faded, some broke, and a few beautiful ones were born anew. And through it all, I've only grown stronger, softer, wiser, and more grateful.' Ending her note with a message of positivity, she said, 'Here's to gratitude, growth, grace, and the magic of transformation. Thank you, from the deepest part of my heart. With love and light.' Recently, during her appearance on Bharti Singh's podcast, Sana candidly discussed her health issues, disclosing that she has been undergoing treatment and taking medication for her condition since 2020. Sana revealed, 'I have turned vegan recently for health reasons. A lot of people don't know that I am an autoimmune hepatitis patient. Autoimmune is a condition and I have a liver disease. It was diagnosed in 2020. There are no specific symptoms of my condition. In this, my body's own cells attack the organ. In my case, it is sometimes Lupus, which can affect the kidneys or lead to arthritis. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has myositis, which primarily affects the muscles. For me, it impacts my liver." Sana's journey continues to inspire fans who've followed her from strength to strength since her Bigg Boss win.
