Mr. Bachchan has beautifully summed up the essence of KBC, once saying, “Kaun Banega Crorepati is far more than a game show, it’s a collective journey of hopes and dreams, with millions cheering every contestant in the hot seat. For me, hosting KBC is like sitting among my own extended family, staying connected to your love and warmth. As the new season begins, I find myself short of words because no words can truly match the depth of my gratitude. Your blessings brought new life to KBC, lit up this stage once more, and brought us all back together. This platform, this game, this season — they belong to you. In honour of your affection, I promise to give double the effort.”
His words indicate the emotional connection the show has with its audience for generations now.It is not just about winning money, but about celebrating the human spirit. From rural villages to bustling cities, the show continues to spotlight individuals who dare to dream big.
