Madhuri Dixit is set to begin hosting the Marathi version of the television quiz show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” titled “Kon Honar Crorepati.” Multiple outlets report that she shares the news via a promotional announcement and is stepping into a new role as the show’s host.
Context on the franchise and her hosting background is also highlighted. “Kon Honar Crorepati” is part of the KBC format, which has been adapted into regional editions. Earlier hosts named include Swapnil Joshi, Sachin Khedekar, and Nagraj Manjule, and reporting notes that Madhuri becomes the first female host of the Marathi edition. Times of India frames the move as her return to hosting after a long gap, emphasizing the show’s goal of celebrating curiosity and encouraging contestants to pursue their dreams. The Free Press Journal focuses more on her personal framing of the hosting role, quoting her remarks about “a new chapter” and the game’s connection to knowledge and possibilities.
Across coverage, the overall angle remains consistent: Madhuri Dixit is joining the show as host, and the programme positions itself as a knowledge-based competition with an aspirational focus for participants.
