Amitabh Bachchan starts preparations for Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 11

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is presently basking in the success of his latest film Badla (2019), will soon return to television to host the upcoming season of popular reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati.

He has started prepping for the 11th season KBC. "So prep for KBC starts and here we are running into introductions, systems, learning new inputs, rehearsing, getting ready for another year," Bachchan wrote on his blog.


The show, which aired its first season in 2000, has been synonymous with Big B ever since its launch. The superstar has hosted nine seasons of the game show. He also talked about his association with the general knowledge-based game show.

"It’s 2019 and it all began in 2000. 19 years and a gap of about two years when it did not happen for me. But 17 years is a lifetime and a lifetime that was given a lifeline by you," he wrote.

The show will air on Sony Entertainment Television.
