Mumbai, March 13 (NationPress) The legendary Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has officially announced his return as the host for the highly anticipated 17th season of the acclaimed game show, “Kaun Banega Crorepati.”
This news follows a wave of speculation regarding his possible exit from the series. On March 12, the creators unveiled a touching video featuring Amitabh, where he bids an emotional goodbye to the audience while affirming, “I will see you in the next season.”
In the heartfelt video, Big B expressed his appreciation in Hindi: “Har daur ki shuruwat mai ek soch hai jo man mai ati hai ki itne saal beet janke ke baad bi vo pyar vo sath vo apnapan aap sab ki ankho mai dekhne ko milta hai ya nhi. Aur har daur ke anth tak sach yehi ban jaata hai, ke iss khel ne, iss manch ne aur maine jitna chaha hai usse kahi zyaada mujhe mila hai, aur lagataar milta rehta hai. Humari umeed hai ke yehi chaah issi tarah bani rahe aur kabhi na toote.” At the beginning of each phase, there’s always a thought that lingers: after so many years, will I still perceive that love, that connection, that warmth in everyone’s eyes? And by the conclusion of each phase, the reality dawns that this journey, this platform, and everything I have received have been far more than what I ever wished for, and it continues to flow towards me. Our hope is that this passion remains unchanged and never diminishes.
The 82-year-old star further stated, “Jaate Jaate main aapse bus yehi kehna chahta hoon ke yadi humari koshishon ne yadi kisi ki bhi zindagi ko zara sa bhi chooha hai, yaa yahan bole gaye shabdon koi umeed jagayi hai, toh main samjhunga ki, humari 25 varshon ki joh sadhna thi woh safal hui. So Devi ji aur sajjanon main aapse ab agle daur mein milunga. Aap apni mehnat par bharosa rakhiye, apne sapno ko zinda rakhiye. Na rukiye, na jhukiye, aap jahan hai jaise hain anmol hain, mere priya hai aur mere apne hain. Phir milte hain aapse, tab tak main Amitabh Bachchan iss daur ke liye, iss manch se aakhri baar kehne jaa raha hoon, Shubh Ratri.”
(As I say farewell, I just want to express that if our endeavors have even slightly impacted someone’s life or if the words spoken here have sparked hope in any manner, then I will deem our 25-year journey as a success. So, ladies and gentlemen, I will see you in the next season. Keep trusting in your hard work, keep your dreams alive. Do not stop, do not bow down. You are precious just as you are, dear to me, and my own. Until we meet again, this is Amitabh Bachchan, signing off from this season with my final words—Shubh Ratri.)
On the professional front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in the film “Vettaiyan,” starring alongside Rajinikanth.
