A Show That Changed Television
Kaun Banega Crorepati is based on the global format ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ and first aired in India in 2000. Since then, it has become one of the most loved and respected quiz shows in the country.
Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has hosted the show for 15 out of 16 seasons, becoming the face of KBC. Only Season 3 was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. For Big B himself, KBC played a major role in reviving his career at a time when he was facing financial difficulties.
With each season, the show continues to evolve, keeping its core theme of knowledge and empowerment intact. KBC has become more than just a game show; it is a platform where dreams, stories, and intelligence come together under the spotlight.
Big B’s Recent and Upcoming Projects
Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Rajinikanth’s film Vettaiyan, which also starred Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, and Ritika Singh. The movie hit theatres in October last year. Up next, he will be seen in Ribhu Dasgupta’s Section 84, alongside Diana Penty and Nimrat Kaur.
