Diljit on KBC 17 Nostalgic Tales Big Smiles Heartfelt Moments

When Diljit Dosanjh walked onto the set of Kaun Bane Ga Crorepati 17 (KBC 17), hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, it wasn’t just another celebrity guest appearance. It became a moment where music, memory and meaning collided. In a recently released preview, Diljit recounts how during a performance in Abu Dhabi he met a fan who didn’t even listen to Punjabi songs he only knew Amitabh Bachchan’s classics. 

The story goes: Amid a show in Abu Dhabi, a large mosque had granted access to Diljit’s team. After the performance, he invited a local attendee to one of his shows. Curious, he asked the man if he heard Punjabi songs and the answer surprised him. The man said he doesn’t, but he does know a song from Bachchan’s 1992 film Khuda Gawah: “Tu Mujhe Kabool, Main Tujhe Kabool.” Diljit then broke into that very number on stage, and Bachchan’s face lit up with admiration. 

In that moment the episode transcended simple entertainment. It became a celebration of cross-cultural reach, of how a Bollywood epic and its music traveled far beyond borders. Diljit’s humility and Bachchan’s iconic presence blended into a conversation that was part nostalgia, part laughter, part heart. The show also touched on Diljit’s charitable work around flood relief efforts in Punjab adding a layer of real-life dedication behind the glitz. 

For viewers, the episode promises to be warm, relatable and inspiring. You’ll see the playful banter between host and guest, feel the old-school magic of a film era gone but not forgotten, and glimpse the depth of a performer who does more than sing and act. It’s a reminder that sometimes even a simple anecdote about a fan and a song can become a bridge between worlds.

In the end, KBC 17 becomes more than a quiz show for that night it’s a stage where legacy and new energy converge. Bachchan’s timeless magnetism, paired with Diljit’s fresh yet respectful approach, brings to light not just entertainment but human connection. The spotlight may be bright, but the story stays grounded: music up close, memory shared, and kindness on display.
