Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Amitabh Bachchan Shares Memories of Shooting the First Episode and His Family’s Surprising Reaction
In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Amitabh Bachchan took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing his experience of shooting the first episode of the iconic show. The legendary actor also revealed some surprising reactions from his family when he decided to host the game show.
The episode started with Amitabh making his signature grand entry, warmly welcoming the audience to celebrate the silver jubilee of KBC, marking 25 years since the show’s debut. During the episode, he shared how the journey began and the challenges he faced when he agreed to host the first season.
Amitabh recalled his initial confusion when the concept of the game show was introduced to him. Unsure of how it would work, he was taken to the LC Studio in London to see the show in action. Watching the energy and excitement in the studio, he told the team he would host only if they could recreate the same atmosphere in India.
On the first day of filming, Amitabh admitted he was extremely nervous. “The makers didn’t notice my heartbeat, and the camera didn’t capture my legs shaking,” he revealed. With no preparation, he decided to speak naturally and go with the flow, a decision that clearly worked in his favor.
The superstar also shared his family’s reaction to his decision to host Kaun Banega Crorepati. Some family members were skeptical, calling it a “big mistake.” They believed appearing on television would lower his stature as a movie star. Ignoring their doubts, Amitabh went ahead and proved them wrong. “Here I am, sitting in this chair for the past 25 years,” he proudly added.
In a special moment for long-time fans, the show recently welcomed Harshvardhan Nawathe, the first-ever Crorepati, in the January 20 episode. This nostalgic surprise delighted viewers and added to the celebration of the show’s legacy.
With 25 years of unforgettable moments, Kaun Banega Crorepati continues to hold a special place in the hearts of its audience, thanks to Amitabh Bachchan’s charisma and dedication.
