Amitabh Bachchan Calls Hosting KBC Season 18 a Heartbreaking Experience

Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan revealed in a Tumblr blog that hosting the eighteenth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati has become heartbreaking, as many participants recount severe personal hardships that affect him emotionally. He said he must balance his feelings with the responsibility to the channel, limiting how deeply he can engage with their stories. The new season, which began in August under the “Sochna Padega” banner, aims to promote careful decision-making rather than mere factual recall.

Bachchan also shared a light-hearted moment about quitting rice and praising his wife Jaya’s mango kheer. Recent episodes featured special guests Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan and director-producer Priyadarshan promoting the film Haiwaan, and the duo won Rs 25 lakhs to donate to their respective charities.
