Respect for the legend. He has given so much to Indian television. My father, who rarely watches TV, never misses an episode of KBC. It's a show that bridges generations.

While I admire Mr. Bachchan, I feel the show's format has become a bit repetitive over 17 seasons. Maybe it's time to introduce some fresh segments or changes to keep the excitement alive for the long-term viewers.

As someone who moved to India a few years ago, KBC was one of the first shows I watched to understand the culture better. The stories of the contestants are so inspiring. Big B is a phenomenal host.

His humility is what stands out. After all these years of superstardom, he still gets emotional connecting with the audience. That's why he is the Shahenshah. 👑 Season 18 kab aayega?
