KBC ka yeh manch (I hope all of you had a wonderful Diwali. We too celebrated Diwali with our loved ones, but… there is another home as well, isn’t there? This stage of KBC). During the interaction, a contestant enquired about his health and asked how he was feeling. Amitabh Bachchan, in his characteristic style, turned the question around, asking the contestant about his well-being. Usi josh, usi muskan aur bilkul naye episodes ke saath.” (With all your love, prayers and blessings, I am here once again. With the same enthusiasm, the same smile and absolutely brand-new episodes) The host’s return marks the beginning of a fresh set of episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati.
