On August 15 at 9 PM IST, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 airs an Independence Day special where host Amitabh Bachchan interviews three female officers from the Indian Armed Forces — Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Commander Prerna Deosthalee. The officers share compelling, untold stories from Operation Sindoor, the swift military action triggered by the Pahalgam terror attack, highlighting bravery, teamwork, and precision—like how the mission unfolded in just 25 minutes. Their presence aims to inspire, but the promo sparked online controversy: critics accuse the government of leveraging the military for political PR through an entertainment show.
