Kaun Banega Crorepati 13: How to register for Amitabh Bachchan’s game show?

“Aapke aur aapke sapnon ne beech ka fasla kitna hai? Teen aksharon ka, koshish. Toh apne sapne sakaar karne ke liye uthaiye phone aur hojaiye tayar. Kuyuni 10 May se shuru horahe hai mere sawal aur aapke KBC 13 ke registration. Hotseat aur main intezaar kar rahe hai aapka. Aap bhi bas tayar hojaiye (The distance between you and your dreams is all about trying. So get ready to fulfil all your dreams and pick up your phone, as KBC 13 registrations are set to begin from May 10. We are waiting for you, so gear up).”

Similar to last year, this time too, the entire audition process will happen digitally. The audition process will have four rounds – registration, screening, online audition and personal interview. The first round will happen between May 10-20. Participants, who answer the question correctly, will be shortlisted through a computerised process, and will be reached through a call for the next round in the next seven days.

Selected contestants will have to then submit an introductory video and also take a general knowledge test to qualify for the next round. The online audition will happen exclusively through the SonyLIV app. Selected contestants will be invited for a personalised video call, after which, only a few will get the chance to participated in the ‘fastest finger first’ round, and win an opportunity to share the stage with Amitabh Bachchan.

KBC 13 registration process

1. From May 10 till May 20, keep an eye on Sony TV at 9 pm as Amitabh Bachchan will ask a question.

8. Contestants who have previously been selected for the show are barred from registering again.

An adaptation of Who Wants to be Millionaire?, Kaun Banega Crorepati was launched in 2000. While Amitabh Bachchan has been the face of the show since its inception, Shah Rukh Khan stepped into his shoes in the third season as the former was recovering from a health emergency. Last season, in a record of sorts, four women – Nazia Nasim, Mohita Sharma, Anupa Das and Dr Neha Shah – emerged as winners winning a crore each.
