the
reality
game
show
has
brought
him
face-to-face
with
what
goes
behind
the

"Thank
you
all
for
the
reactions
on
KBC
and
Lallan
bhaiya!
One
take
and
one
shot
and
a
lot
of
impromptu...
12
cameras
though."
"Watched
a
great
amount
of
what
goes
on
the
GECs!
Goodness,
there
is
no

talent
on
the
'box'."
The

which
was

Khan,
Bachchan
has
been
in
the
anchor's
seat
for
all
KBC
seasons.
Now,
the
71-year-old
will
also
be
seen
in
a
fiction
TV
show.
