Amitabh Bachan has been hosting the show for over two decades now, with each season getting immense love from fans. On KBC’s 1000th episode last year, Amitabh Bachchan reflected on his journey and how people warned him against moving to the small screen.
According to Hindustan Times, he said, “It has been 21 years. The show began in 2000. At that time, I had no idea. People warned me that moving from the big screen to the small screen would harm my image. However, my circumstances were such that I wasn’t getting any work in films at that time, but after the show premiered, the kind of reactions I received made me believe that the world changed for me.”
