KBC or Kaun Banega Crorepati first aired in 2000. The reality game show, which shifted base from Star Plus to Sony, revived Amitabh Bachchan's career. An Indian version of the British program Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, KBC's 10th season kicked off on September 3. While you can watch Kaun Banega Crorepati 10 on Sony TV at 9 pm on weekdays, there is an added advantage for those who will watch the Big B show on Sony’s OTT app SonyLIV. They will be able to match wits with the contestant sitting on the hot seat and participate in the show through the KBC Play Along feature on Sony LIV app.
