Amitabh Bachchan works 24‑hour KBC shift and jokes about Bhojpuri film roles

Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan disclosed that he completed a continuous 24‑hour shift for the upcoming 18th season of the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), saying missing the broadcast deadline could result in his replacement. He wrote that he worked from 7 a.m. one day until 7 a.m. the next, emphasizing the importance of the program’s timely delivery.

During a recent KBC episode, a contestant from Bihar asked Bachchan to appear in more Bhojpuri movies, noting the strong admiration for him in the region. Bachchan replied humorously, mentioning that he had already acted in two Bhojpuri films with his makeup artist Deepak, and the contestant’s child refers to him as “KBC Uncle.” The exchange highlighted both his dedication to the show and his playful engagement with regional fans.
