Amitabh Bachchan cried on the 1000th episode of KBC
‘The entire world has changed,’ Amitabh Bachchan said on Kaun Banega Crorepati in response to a question from his daughter Shweta Nanda. The actor was seen breaking down in tears.
When Amitabh Bachchan sat down to play Kaun Banega Crorepati for the first time at the turn of the millennium, India was a different place. Now, nearly 21 years later, the show has become ingrained in Indian pop culture. Daily conversations, and many of our dreams. Amitabh will welcome daughter Shweta Nanda and granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda to the set of KBC. This week to play the game as it approaches the 1000th episode.
When Shweta asks her father how he feels as he finishes the 1000th episode of KBC, he says it feels like the entire world has changed.
A reel highlights the significant milestones along the way during this two-decade journey. Including the first crorepati, the first person to win Rs 7 crores, the first woman and child to become crorepatis, and how the show and its host touched lives. Amitabh breaks down at the end of the video. The game, he says, is far from over.
In another video, he jokes that Shweta and Navya will have a difficult time. “Whoever comes on the hot seat, you ask them how they prepared for KBC,” Navya says of Amitabh’s preparations to host the two of them. So today, I’d like to ask you, “How did you prepare for us?” Big B responds, “Jalebi ki Tarah seede sawaal honge aur bhool bhulaiyaa ke tarah aasan (The questions will be as straight as a jalebi. And the quiz will be as simple as a maze).” Shweta then quips, “He waited for 999 episodes to be completed.”
Amitabh had previously written on his blog about hosting his daughter and granddaughter. The banter of the family dining table, the repartee. And most importantly, the several causes that the young at this age think about and work for.”
