One of the most loved quiz reality shows of the Indian television, Kaun Banega Crorepati is back with its 16th season and superstar Amitabh Bachchan is also back on the small screen as the host of the show.
There is no doubt that Amitabh Bachchan has played a great role in the success of KBC and other than interesting questions, it is his impeccable and magnificent style of hosting which has kept the audiences glued to their television screens when the show is aired.
Kaun Banega Crorepati first aired in the year 2000 and at that time, Big B was paid Rs. 25 lakh per episode for hosting the show but do you know how much he is getting paid in the 16th season?
If some reports are to be believed, Amitabh Bachchan is getting paid Rs. 5 crore per episode; however, there is no confirmation in this regard.
In the first episode of the 16th season, the legendary actor got a little emotional and thanked the audiences and everyone associated with KBC who watched and supported him in this journey.
This is what Amitabh Bachchan said, “Today marks the start of a new season. But I’m a little short of words today. And that’s because no word has the capacity to convey the gratitude for your love. I can’t come up with the words to thank you for your prayers which gave a new life to Kaun Banega Crorepati, which illuminated this stage again, and which reunited a family and allowed me to be present among you. I salute this country’s people for the resurrection, rebuilding, and rebirth of KBC.”
He added, “This stage is yours, this game is yours, and this season is only yours. To respect your love, I’ll be present before you with twice the effort. And I believe you’ll keep reassuring me by holding my hand.”
Here is the video which was posted by an X user with the caption, “The 16th season of the most popular & loved show of Bharatiya Television🇮🇳 #KaunBanegaCrorepati hosted by @SrBachchan Gurudev ji commences. My best of wishes”
