New Delhi: Amitabh Bachchan, with his oh-so-charming personality, is back on the hosting chair of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The Megastar has been a part of the show for over twenty years. On Sunday, the first episode of KBC Season 14 premiered. As the country anticipates 75 years of Independence Day celebrations, the Sr Bachchan delivered a heart-touching monologue.
The makers, on the occasion of 75 years of Independence Day, have upgraded their cash value from 7 Crore to 7.5 Crore. They’ve additionally added one more prize cash of 75 lakh in between 50 lakh and 1 crore.
The debut episode of season 14 was devoted to the true ‘Protectors of India’.
The ‘Protectors of India,’ Major D.P. Singh, a veteran of the Kargil War, and Col. Mitali Madhumita, a recipient of the Sena Medal Gallantry were seen seated on the hot seat. They were accompanied by Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, boxing legend Marykom and India Football Captain Suniel Chhetri.
The host was extremely overwhelmed when Col. Mitali’s mother proudly stated that out of her three daughters, she has devoted and dedicated her eldest daughter, Mitali solely to the country’s protection.
Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, and the live audience had an emotional moment when Major Saab revealed how he still has 73 bullet marks on his body that bruised all his body during the war against the neighbouring country.
MC Mary Kom and Sunil Chhetri expressed how nervous they were to attempt the game. The guests pledged to donate their winning proceedings to the Regional Boxing Foundation, and The Voice of Stray Dogs.
Big B proudly informed that Sunil Chhetri is the third highest international goal-scorer in the world, after Christiano Ronaldo and Leonardo Messi.
Coming to Mary Kom, Mr. Bachchan revealed that she has won the world championship medal in boxing 8 times.
Before bidding the show, Amitabh clicked a picture with Mary Kom and Sunil Chhetri on the Spotlight Wall. He ended the episode on an important note on how attaining ‘freedom’ for India was the most “expensive” thing ever for the country that cost us a number of important lives- the lives of all our freedom fighters.
