Amitabh Bachchan shared his thoughts after 21 years of hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati, on why he made the decision to do so. The programme recently reached the milestone of 1000 episodes
Amitabh Bachchan has admitted that he agreed to host Kaun Banega Crorepati in the year 2000 because he was having trouble finding work. Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter Shweta Bachchan asked him how he felt once the quiz show reached 1000 episodes. Shweta and her daughter Navya Naveli Nanda were featured as guests in the program.
Amitabh Bachchan replied to Shweta and said that it’s been 21 years. The show premiered in the year 2000. He seemed to have no idea at that moment. People cautioned him that switching from a large to a tiny screen would damage his reputation. However, the actor’s conditions were such that he wasn’t receiving any film work at the time, but the sort of comments he received after the program debuted made him feel that the world had changed for the great actor.
As the crowd applauded and cheered, Amitabh Bachchan said that the best part was learning something new every day from each participant. Shweta and Navya, as well as the audience, were seen clapping. Following that, clips from the game show’s history from 2000 to the present were shown. Amitabh was seen becoming upset and mopping up his emotions as the video drew to a close.
His appearance on KBC was his debut on Indian television. The 13th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati is presently airing. Excluding the third season, when actor Shah Rukh Khan took over, Amitabh has hosted the show from its start. The highest prize money was 1 crore in seasons 1-6, but it was upped to 7 crores in season 7.
In addition to winning the hearts of millions of people across the world with his diverse body of work over the years, Amitabh Bachchan is known for his impeccable sense of dress. Be it on a casual day out with friends or arriving at his filming locations, the fans always see the actor smartly dressed and keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Meanwhile, Amitabh has several projects in the future, namely Goodbye, Brahmastra, Runway 34, Jhund, and a Hindi version of the film The Intern.
