Amitabh’s eyes welled up as he spoke about the love and respect he has received as the host of the show for decades, “I cannot find words to thank you for your prayers, which gave a new life to Kaun Banega Crorepati, which lit up this platform again and which reunited a family and gave me the opportunity to be present among you. I salute the people of this country for reviving, rebuilding and reincarnating KBC (greets camera with namaste). This platform is yours, this game is yours and this season is yours only. Respecting your love, I will be present before you with double the hard work. And I am sure you will continue to hold my hand and reassure me”.
The first contestant of the show Utkarsh Bakshi got stumped on the question of 25 lakhs, due to the wrong answer he lost the prize money of 3,20000. The new thing in the show is that if the contestant takes the double weapon then his prize money will be doubled on answering the super question. Once again Big B has proved that no one else can entertain the audience on the small screen.
