Amitabh Bachchan is all set to return to the small screen with Kaun Banega Crorepati season 9. He announced the launch at a media conference today, along with a host of new features of the popular reality show.
We were live from the venue:
So what would make Kaun Banega Crorepati season 9 different from its predecessors?
What’s more, the first episode will have the Indian women’s cricket team as guests.
Amitabh Bachchan also shared how hosting the show is a learning experience for him as well, as he did not know most of the answers himself.
He also took an opportunity to voice his support for tuberculosis and Hepatitis B patients as he had suffered from these diseases himself. Bachchan shared how he was taken down by TB during one of the early years of KBC. And he contracted Hepatitis B in one of the blood transfusions undertaken post the Coolie accident. It has now left him with only 25 per cent of his liver working.
