Amitabh puts to rest rumours of stepping down from KBC

There were speculations that Amitabh Bachchan will not longer host KBC and Salman Khan will be the future host.

The senior Bachchan took to his social media account and shared pictures as he kicked off the preparation for the shoot of Kaun Banega Crorepati’s next season 17.

Notably, Amitabh Bachchan, has been the iconic face of the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) for years.

He also shared pictures on from the sets confirming that he has officially resumed shoot for the upcoming season of the show.

Amitabh Bachchan also pennes a note as he kicks off KBC shoot.
On Wednesday, the Senior Bachchan took to his blog and shared pictures sitting on the chair with a computer in front of him and having a conversation with someone. The actor was seen wearing his multicoloured jacket, his specs and a white cap. Sharing the pictures, he wrote, “Shuru kar diya kaam (started the work)… and the prep begins the beguine . to be back to the people .. to be with them in their desires to improve life and livings .. the opportunity that changes lives .. in an hour ..my love and regard.”

In May, there were reports that Amitabh is stepping down as the host of KBC and Salman will be replacing him. A source close to the project said that”Salman Khan is the king of the small screen, and the best face to replace Amitabh Bachchan is him, as he also has a strong connect with the audience in the smaller centres. Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan has also hosted KBC, and if everything goes well, Salman will be the newest to take the television sets by storm.” The source further revealed that Amitabh is stepping down as the host due to “personal reasons”.
KBC’s 16th season concluded in February this year. However, in April, the makers announced that the registration for the 17th season would open on April 14. This will be followed by auditions, shortlisting contestants and preparing their video packages. The new season is likely to air in August.
