Amitabh Bachchan Hosts Heroes of Operation Sindoor on KBC 17

A special episode of *Kaun Banega Crorepati* (KBC) Season 17 aired on August 15, 2025, featuring distinguished military personnel who participated in Operation Sindoor. Hosted by the iconic Amitabh Bachchan, the episode highlighted the importance of this significant military initiative.

In the newly released promo shared on *Sony Entertainment Television’s* official Instagram account, Bachchan engages in a compelling discussion with Colonel Sofiya Qureshi of the Indian Army, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force, and Commander Prerna Deosthalee of the Indian Navy. The focus of their conversation centers around the strategic planning and execution of Operation Sindoor, which was a response to escalating tensions with Pakistan.

Colonel Qureshi articulates the necessity behind the operation, stating, “Pakistan keeps doing this. So it was necessary to reply, sir. That’s why Operation Sindoor was planned.” This statement underscores the resolve of the Indian military in addressing ongoing security challenges.
