Madhuri Dixit Returns to TV Hosting After 24 Years With Kon Honar Crorepati

Madhuri Dixit is going back to TV hosting after 24 years of waiting for the moment. Madhuri Dixit will be back with a show to host Kon Honar Crorepati, coming back as host for Sony Marathi’s Kon Honar Crorepati to take over the popular quiz-based show. The news of Madhuri Dixit’s return from her 24 years of silence has gotten Marathi TV audiences and Madhuri’s huge fan base excited.

Madhuri is back to hosting, a huge step in her TV career. She hosted her last reality show - Kahin Na Kahin Koi Hai - in 2002. While she has been a regular presenter on television - from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa to Dance Deewane - her new role is the first time she is returning to TV and asking questions, challenges and the journey to winning a big cash prize.

When Madhuri was asked about the Kon Honar Crorepati project, Madhuri was very excited to work in a programme about knowledge, determination, curiosity, hope and the courage to dream. Being a woman and Maharashtra native, the actress also looks forward to getting to know contestants from all over the world and hearing a little bit of their stories. The emotional journey of people who take part in quiz TV shows has always been one of the most important elements.

Kon Honar Crorepati is the Marathi version of the internationally popular Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? format and has hosted guests like Sachin Khedekar, Swapnil Joshi and Nagraj Manjule. Madhuri is now more of a star and an actor-anchored figure for the franchise. Her background in entertainment and her ability to connect with people could give the show an entirely new look as a show in its current season.

The new campaign is called “Aata Khel Badalnar” (meaning “Now the game will change”) and is a promise for viewers. The season will be broadcast on Sony Marathi and will also be available digitally on Sony LIV so that viewers can follow the show on television and streaming platforms.

Madhuri's involvement with the show is also unique as she becomes one of the most prominent female personalities to take on hosting responsibilities for a regional-language version of the franchise. She would be able to bring together the many people who admire her decades-long Bollywood career as well as regular viewers of Marathi television.

For Madhuri Dixit, stepping back into hosting is more than just an appearance on TV. After decades of being one of the most popular actresses of Indian cinema, Madhuri Dixit has become one of the world’s most famous actors/actresses in Indian cinema.

With Madhuri at the helm, Kon Honar Crorepati is starting a new chapter and we’re sure viewers will love how the Bollywood icon brings her personality to the classic quiz-show format. Her 24-year return to television hosting is certainly one of the best entertainment comebacks of 2026.
