Amitabh Bachchan has started filming for the 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati and shared behind-the-scenes photos on social media.
Amitabh Bachchan has commenced filming for the 16th season of his popular game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). The veteran actor, who has been the show’s host for nearly every season since 2000, shared behind-the-scenes photos and conveyed his enthusiasm.
Back to KBC
Amitabh Bachchan posted a black-and-white photo of himself on the KBC set, arms outstretched, captioned, “BACK to KBC 16th season.” He also shared an image of himself jogging down the show’s corridor with the caption, “Yes, back and still no change in routine—the run is on.” These updates were posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday evening, following reports that he had resumed filming for the show.

Amitabh recently hinted at returning to the KBC set on X, posting on Wednesday, “There’s nothing quite as fulfilling as work… Just came back after a long day—it’s so energizing!” He also mentioned, “Work has involved long hours, and tomorrow starts early again… See you then.”

Fans were thrilled to see Amitabh back to hosting KBC, but they were also confused with one fan jokingly asking, “Phir last year itna emotional kyon Kiya tha (Why did you make us so emotional last year then).” Another wrote, “Amazing, the Goat is back.” Many commented that they thought he had retired from the show.
The confusion stems from Amitabh’s speech in the last episode of KBC 15. With tears in his eyes, he had 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).” Fans had assumed that he was leaving the show.
