Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai won’t replace Amitabh Bachchan on KBC, actor confirms return for next season: ‘Till we meet again’

Amitabh Bachchan became emotional as he kicked off the grand finale of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16. In a video from the show, the veteran actor is seen thanking the audience for showering him with love over the years. While speculation has been rife that Shah Rukh Khan or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might replace Amitabh in the next season of KBC, Big B has put all such rumours to rest. Setting the record straight, he declared that he will be back to host the next edition of the show.

Speaking in Hindi on the show, Big B said, “At the start of every phase, there is a thought that comes to mind: after so many years, will I still be able to see that love, that togetherness, that warmth in everyone’s eyes or not? And by the end of each phase, the truth becomes that this journey, this stage, and everything I have received has been far more than I ever wished for, and it continues to come to me. Our hope is that this desire remains the same and never fades.”

Amitabh Bachchan also reflected on Kaun Banega Crorepati’s impact and how deeply the show resonates with him. He said, “Agar yahan bole gaye shabdon ne kisi mein umeed jagayi hai, toh main samjhunga ki humari 25 varshon ki sadhna safal rahi. mein apse agle daur mein miluga lekin aap apni mehnat par bharosa rakhiye. Na rukiye, na jhukiye. Aap jahan hain, jaise hain, anmol hain. Mere priya hain, mere apne hain. (As I bid farewell, I would just like to say that if our efforts have touched even a little bit of someone’s life or if the words spoken here have instilled hope in any way, I will consider our 25-year journey truly successful. So, ladies and gentlemen, I will see you next season. Keep faith in your hard work, keep your dreams alive. Do not stop, do not bow down. You are valuable, dear to me, and my own, just the way you are.) Till we meet again, I am Amitabh Bachchan, ending this season with my last words – Good Night.”

Amitabh Bachchan has been the face of Kaun Banega Crorepati since its inception in 2000. However, for three seasons, Shah Rukh Khan briefly took over as host but Big B was back due to popular demand. With Big B confirming his return, fans can look forward to yet another season with the legendary actor at the helm.

5 Sacred Mountains in India Where Gods Are Believed to Live

For millennia, mountains have been more than just landforms in India. They are seen as the pillars of creation, connecting the earthly to the divine. In the Hindu tradition, a mountain is not merely stone and soil but a living presence, often worshipped as a deity or considered the home of one. This belief arises from the ancient understanding that the sacred resides in nature itself, and towering peaks are gateways to higher states of consciousness. Pilgrims have walked barefoot on these rocky paths, sages have meditated in their caves, and scriptures have sung their praises. 1. Mount Kailash, Tibet-India Border Mount Kailash stands unmatched as the most sacred mountain in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. In Hindu belief, it is the eternal abode of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The mountain is described in the Puranas as the axis mundi, the cosmic pillar that holds together heaven and earth. It rises 6,638 meters and is considered unclimbable, not merely due to physical di...

Actor Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava has set the box office on fire, surpassing expectations and emerging as one of the biggest hits of the year. The historical epic, directed by Laxman Utekar, has not only impressed audiences with its gripping narrative and grand visuals, but has also established Kaushal as a formidable force in the industry. With record-breaking collections and strong word-of-mouth, the film's success can have a ripple effect on upcoming releases. The film’s performance is likely to influence release strategies for upcoming films. At least the trade experts think so. Trade expert Ramesh Bala told India Today Digital, "Chhaava is performing well and is likely to continue doing so for another two weeks. This will affect upcoming releases, but not necessarily in a good way. If the new films have strong content, they can still perform well. They will have enough screens and the potential to earn. By the third week of Chhaava, its influence will start withering...
