Amitabh Bachchan has officially commenced shooting for the 16th season of his immensely popular game show, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC). The legendary actor, who has been the face of the show almost every season since its inception in 2000, shared behind-the-scenes glimpses and expressed his enthusiasm for the new season.

Bachchan posted a monochrome picture of himself on the set with his arms wide open, captioned, “BACK to KBC 16th season.” Another picture showed him running through the corridor of the set, with the caption, “Yes back and still no change in routine – the run is on.” These updates were shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday evening, confirming that he is back to filming the show.

In a recent post on X, Bachchan hinted at his return to work, saying, “There is nothing quite as rewarding as work… just back after a long day’s work… and so invigorating! Work has taken long hours and tomorrow is again early so… till tomorrow.”

While fans were excited to see Amitabh back on KBC, some were confused due to his emotional farewell speech at the end of the 15th season. In that episode, with tears in his eyes, he said, “Devi aur sajjano, ab hum jaa rahe aur kal se yeh manch ab nahi sajega. Apno se yeh keh pana ki kal se hum yahan nahi aa payenge, na kehne ki himmat hoti aur na kehne ka mann hota hai (Ladies and gentlemen, now it’s time to go as the stage won’t be the same. It’s difficult to let everyone know that we won’t be returning here from tomorrow).” He also added, “Main Amitabh Bachchan iss daur ke liye, iss manch se aakhri baar kehne jaa raha hu, shubraatri (For the last time, I am bidding you all goodbye from this show, goodnight).” This led many fans to believe he was retiring from the show.

‘KBC’ season 16 will air on Sony TV from August 12, Monday to Friday at 9 pm. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the show and Amitabh’s engaging hosting.
