The veteran actor also gave fans a peek into his demanding schedule, admitting that early calls, long hours, and traffic sometimes make work tiring. Yet, he emphasized that the energy on the KBC set, the interaction with contestants, the shared moments of excitement, and the mutual respect for knowledge, makes it all worthwhile.

He called the experience “a poetic symposium of recitations and the understanding of each verse”.

On August 21, he had a deeply memorable encounter when he welcomed India’s Women’s Ice Hockey Team to the KBC stage. The team had recently won a bronze medal at the Asian Games, an achievement that surprised many, including the legendary actor.

In his blog, Amitabh wrote about the meeting with awe and respect, calling it “a revelation and an honour.”

He marveled at the team’s journey, the struggles they faced, and their determination to succeed against all odds.

“No one believed this team, and they proved it,” he wrote, praising the women athletes for their resilience and dedication.

‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ is the official Hindi version of the global ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ franchise. Apart from the third season, which saw Shah Rukh Khan stepping in as host, Amitabh Bachchan has hosted the show throughout its history.
