The countdown to the new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati has officially begun, and if the first day of shooting is anything to go by, audiences are in for another memorable ride with Amitabh Bachchan. The legendary actor kickstarted filming for the latest season, themed "Sochna Padega," with his trademark wit, humility, and effortless charm. Before the cameras rolled, however, Big B had an unexpected confession to make—one that left the entire studio laughing.
As he walked onto the set, Amitabh Bachchan immediately folded his hands and apologized to the audience for the delay in the shoot. Explaining that it was the very first day of recording for the new season, the megastar said, "Sabse pehle haath jodkar maafi mangte hai, der hogai kyunki aaj yeh pehla recording hai, iss naye daur ka. Toh choti-moti cheezein joh set karne mai samay lagta hain." His candid admission and warm interaction instantly won over the audience, proving once again why his connection with KBC viewers remains as strong as ever.
The funniest moment of the day arrived when Big B revealed that his spectacles had unexpectedly become a topic of discussion during technical checks. Recalling the exchange with the crew, he joked, "Phir koi bolega sir joh aapka chasma haina woh galat hai, humne kaha kya galat hai yaar, main pacchees saal se yahi to chasma pehen raha hu." The crew reportedly pointed out that the lenses were showing a yellow tint on camera, prompting the veteran actor to hilariously defend his beloved glasses.
Continuing the amusing story, Amitabh Bachchan explained why he had added the tint in the first place. "Bolein nahi Sir, usmein yellow-yellow aaraha hain... humne kaha haan use thoda sa tint kiya hai... Maine kaha dekho bhaisahaab, vrudhawsta mein ek vrudh ki umar kaise pata chalti hai, uski aakhon se. Toh humari aakh joh hai woh vrudhawasta mai pahuch gai hai to usko chupane ke liye ek joh hai thorasa tint maardiya." His self-deprecating humour about ageing had the audience and crew bursting into laughter, once again showcasing the grace and honesty with which the superstar embraces every stage of life.
Moments like these have become a hallmark of Amitabh Bachchan's journey with Kaun Banega Crorepati. Whether he is sharing personal anecdotes, cracking jokes, or interacting with contestants, the veteran actor has consistently managed to make the quiz show feel warm and personal. Even a simple conversation about technical glitches and spectacles turned into one of the most memorable moments from the first day of shooting, thanks to his impeccable comic timing and ability to laugh at himself.
With the new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati set to premiere on August 10 on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, excitement among fans is already at an all-time high. If Amitabh Bachchan's hilarious first-day confession is any indication, viewers can expect yet another season packed with knowledge, emotion, humour, and the timeless charisma that has made Big B the heart and soul of India's most iconic quiz show for over two decades.
