Anil Kapoor to Host ‘India Ke Top 1%’, a New Family Quiz Show Launching on September 5

Star Plus and JioHotstar are all set to entertain audiences this festive season with the launch of India Ke Top 1%, a unique family game show premiering on September 5. Based on the internationally acclaimed format The 1% Club, the show has already achieved success in several countries, including the United States, Australia, Germany, Spain, Greece, Israel, Turkey, Mexico, and the Netherlands. Its Indian adaptation will be hosted by celebrated Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor.

Unlike traditional quiz competitions that focus on general knowledge, India Ke Top 1% challenges contestants through puzzles that test logic, observation, critical thinking, and presence of mind. The format is designed to encourage participation from viewers of all ages, allowing families to solve the questions together from the comfort of their homes.

The show was officially unveiled at a grand launch event attended by senior industry leaders and distinguished guests. The event reflected the scale and significance of one of Star Plus' biggest non-fiction television offerings of the year.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Anil Kapoor described the show as an exciting experience that goes beyond conventional quiz formats. According to him, the competition rewards smart thinking rather than memorised facts, making every challenge engaging and unpredictable. He added that participants and viewers alike will encounter questions that test their instincts, reasoning abilities, and calmness under pressure.

Kapoor also highlighted that the show's biggest strength lies in its inclusive nature, as every family member can participate while watching at home. He believes the programme will demonstrate that intelligence can take many different forms and inspire audiences to think differently. Inviting viewers to join the challenge, he encouraged aspiring participants to register and discover whether they have what it takes to be among India's Top 1%.

India Ke Top 1% will premiere on September 5 and will be available on Star Plus as well as JioHotstar.
