Amitabh Bachchan is back as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati. And, right from the first day of shooting, Big B has given fans a reason to laugh.
The veteran actor began the new season with an apology for a slight delay. However, he quickly turned the moment into a hilarious conversation about technical checks, ageing, and his iconic glasses.
Big B Turns His Apology Into a Joke
On the first day of the new KBC season, Amitabh Bachchan arrived with folded hands and apologised to the audience.
However, there was no serious mood in the room. Instead, the actor explained that a new season naturally takes time to set up. Several technical details need to be checked before the cameras can roll.
Soon, his simple explanation turned into an entertaining exchange. And, as always, Bachchan’s effortless humour kept the atmosphere light.
That’s also one of the reasons viewers continue to enjoy watching him host the show. He knows how to make even a small behind-the-scenes hiccup feel entertaining.
His Iconic Glasses Become the Highlight
Then came the funniest part.
Apparently, someone from the production team noticed something unusual about Bachchan’s glasses. The yellowish tint was reportedly creating an issue during the shoot.
Bachchan, however, had a hilarious response. He pointed out that he had been wearing the same style of glasses for around 25 years.
But that’s not all. He then revealed why he had added the slight tint.
Amitabh Bachchan Jokes About Ageing
Bachchan explained the tint with his trademark self-deprecating humour.
He joked that a person’s age can often be noticed through their eyes. Since his eyes had, in his words, reached old age, he decided to add a little tint to hide it.
The joke immediately became one of the most memorable moments from the first day of shooting.
More importantly, it showed Bachchan’s ability to laugh at himself. While ageing can be a sensitive topic in showbiz, the superstar continues to approach it with confidence and humour.
Big B Keeps Things Light
That’s what makes Amitabh Bachchan so entertaining on KBC.
Whether he is speaking with contestants or interacting with the audience, he rarely lets the atmosphere become too stiff. Instead, he brings warmth, wit, and plenty of spontaneity.
Moreover, his comfort in front of the camera is unmistakable. Even a conversation about his glasses can quickly become a funny moment.
As a result, his connection with KBC audiences continues to feel natural.
Why KBC Remains So Popular
Kaun Banega Crorepati has been a television favourite for years. Yet the format still manages to keep audiences interested.
A major reason is Bachchan himself. His distinctive voice, calm hosting style, and emotional connection with contestants have become closely associated with the show.
At one moment, he can ask a contestant a challenging question. The next, he can make everyone laugh with a spontaneous joke.
Meanwhile, the new season also comes with the theme “Sochna Padega”, which translates to “You’ll Have to Think.”
The theme fits the quiz format perfectly. After all, contestants will need plenty of thinking power to take on KBC’s toughest questions.
New Season Premieres on August 10
The new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati will premiere on August 10.
Viewers can watch the show on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
And, if the first day of shooting is anything to go by, fans can expect a familiar mix of challenging questions, emotional stories, contestant celebrations, and Bachchan’s signature humour.
From his apology to the hilarious glasses story, Big B has already set the tone for the new season.
So, get ready. KBC is back, and Amitabh Bachchan is clearly ready to make us think — and laugh.
