11 seasons of Kaun Banega Crorepati have made it evident why it is one of the most successful reality shows on television. KBC hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan has always become the talk of the town in every season, for the players who bagged big winning amounts from the show. The show grabbed the attention of netizens this time too, but not for any winner.

1) KBC serial in Sony Tv shows respect
to Aurangzeb as Mugal sambrat & Shri Chattrapathi Shivaji Maharaj as 'Shivaji' mentioned. We oppose this dis respect of The great hindu king.
Will @SonyTV ever dare to call the Mughals as invaders?

#Boycott_KBC_SonyTv my respect for the show & the anchor has taken a huge dip when i see that the respectable #ChatrapatiShivajiMaharaj is denigrated by being called by first name only & the worst of all Mughal rules aurangzeb being ennobled with such respect @VikasSaraswat pic.twitter.com/9UGJKaz1Tv

This is really sad. The one who did so much sacrifices and what we are returning to him?
This is justified? This is what we are suppose to do? pic.twitter.com/xyC2fIe0ZQ
