Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan has shot the last episode of the ongoing sixth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati with a heavy heart, hoping that he can be back soon with the TV game show.

"It is the audience that comes so religiously and stays so calm and disciplined... thank you all... I hope I can be back with you soon... love to all," he added.

Big B also posted some photos from the sets of the last episode, which bore the theme of Republic Day since it will be aired on January 26. The sixth season went on air on September 7, and Mumbai-based home tutor Sunmeet Kaur Sawhney won the bumper prize of Rs 5 crore, becoming the first woman to win the jackpot on the show.
