Trivia

 * More than 27,000,000 people watched Sushil Kumar game (7,2 on November 1 and 8 TVR on November 2, in two episodes respectively), who win Rs 5,000,000.
 * Prior to the KBC episode on November 2, 2011 which rated 8.0 TVR, only Rakhi Ka Swayamwar - Season 1 Grand Finale episode rated higher with 8.4 TVR on August 2, 2009. However, as a season average RKS averaged only 2.8 TVR compared to KBC's ongoing average of 4.7 TVR. RKS opening episode rated at 4.1 TVR while KBC opening episode rated at 5.2 TVR. The show, which went on air Sep 7, 2012, has registered a 6.1 television rating (TVR).
 * On December 2, 2011, the 500th episode was aired.
 * As December 20, 2011, in KBC show 510 episodes aired in which 886 contestants appeared.
 * In the first season of the Indian version, unlike other versions of the game, from May 6 to November 18, 2001 on Sundays, there was a large children's tournament among schoolchildren from 10 to 18 years old. In all, 25 children's issues were published.
 * In the September 24, 2005 issue, Aditya Singh left with nothing, answering the first question incorrectly, by selecting "Ask the Audience" lifeline, 55% of whom voted for the wrong answer. Later it was found out that the error of editors was noticed, because of which the contestant was asked a question with two variants of the answer. Later, he was invited back into the hot seat without FFF.
 * Prasenjit Sarkar is a rollover contestant, who appeared in the last episode of the 2nd season and in the first episode of the 3rd season from different hosts with an interval of one year.
 * Prashant P. Mannur (broadcast on February 15, 2007) is the contestant only, who used all three tips on the second question.
 * In episode on March 29, 2007, an unusual case occurred. A couple of celebrities were asked the 6th question, to which she did not know the answer and called a friend. When a friend picked up the phone, the presenter jokingly informed him that he would now be asked the final question for 20,000,000 rupees. The hider was given twice for 30 seconds.
 * As a result, a friend told them wrong, the players agreed with him and answered wrong. After that, the presenter said that it was a joke question. Despite giving the wrong answer by a couple, they were asked again the 6th question and the game continued.
 * During the first 5 seasons, 510 issues aired, in which 886 people played.
 * In the September 8, 2014 edition, the 1,000th contestant, Syed Murtuza Hashmi, appeared in the show.
 * In the episode on October 7, 2014, during the game of the brothers Shubham and Anurag Sharma, there was castling of the host with the contestant. For a moment, the presenter sat in the contestant's hot seat next to his brother, and his brother sat in the seat of the presenter.
 * In the history of the Indian version there were cases when the "Ask the Audience" lifeline was used on the first question: Vineeta Gupta on September 25, 2000, Kaushik Saha in 2000, Aditya Singh on September 24, 2005, A.V. Sreenivasa Rao on February 8, 2007, Komal Ved on March 19, 2007 and Saroj Verma on August 28, 2017. And in two cases the audience failed on the first question.
