Amitabh Bachchan discusses emotional challenges of hosting KBC

Amitabh Bachchan has expressed the emotional toll of hosting the 18th season of the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). In a recent blog post, the veteran actor noted that some contestants share deeply difficult personal struggles and histories during their interactions, which can make it challenging for him to continue his hosting responsibilities.

While Bachchan’s comments included the phrase “I wish to retire now,” the implications of his potential departure remain unclear. Previous instances of similar statements by the actor have been attributed to exhaustion following long filming sessions rather than actual retirement plans. Bachchan has hosted nearly every season of the program since its inception in 2000, with the exception of season three.
