Big B Back on KBC 18

The beloved star has returned to host the popular quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 18' (KBC 18). A newly released promo showcases him expressing heartfelt thanks to his supporters.

Sony TV has unveiled this promo on social media, featuring Amitabh back in his hosting role. The video opens with him sharing Diwali greetings and offering a glimpse into his family celebrations during the festival.

He shares, "I hope everyone had a joyous Diwali. We celebrated with our loved ones, but this stage of KBC is also like home to me." He affectionately refers to the show as his "second family."

Amitabh's Interaction with Contestants

What Amitabh Bachchan said
In the promo, a contestant in the 'hot seat' inquires about Amitabh's health. True to his nature, he first checks on the contestant's well-being. Upon hearing that the contestant is fine, Amitabh smiles and responds, "If you are well, then I am well too."

He goes on to thank everyone who has supported him during his recovery, stating, "Thanks to all your love, prayers, and blessings, I am back here once again—with the same enthusiasm, the same smile, and brand-new episodes."

Amitabh's Temporary Hiatus

It is important to note that the filming of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 18' was paused due to concerns about Amitabh's health. During this time, reruns of previous episodes were aired on television.

However, reports indicate that his break was not due to a serious health issue but rather a precautionary measure for a minor ailment. He was advised to take time off to ensure a full recovery.
