How Big B Looks Back On His Experience?
When asked as to how he looks back on the experience, Big B told the entertainment portal, "18 years since the start of KBC and it's the tenth season, nine of which have been conducted by me, one done by Shahrukh. Hesitancy and apprehension were prime when it was suggested to me and the fear of what others felt would be diminishing my 70 MM film projection to a 25-inch TV screen. But circumstances were not very conducive."
“I Had Already Begun Reading My ‘The End’ Credits”
"I never did have a 70 MM film projection ever, irrespective of what the market and Industry may have believed, more so at the juncture when KBC came my way, I had already begun reading my 'The End' credits!"
“I Had No Work, No Money & A Bagful Of Ill-Mannered Threatening Creditors”
The actor further reveals, "I had no work, no money and a bagful of ill-mannered threatening creditors. Apart from the creativity of venturing into TV, something that I had always kept in the back of my mind years earlier, it was giving me an opportunity to, not entirely, but in a small way indicate to those I owed money, that I was working at it."
“The Experience Of KBC Was Much Larger”
Big B further adds, "This effort along with some financial guidance helped me pay off each and every person. But the experience of KBC was much larger, in more ways than one."

The Host Adds
"The varied emotions that each of us carry. What life does the rest of the country live, as opposed to us, who live cocooned lives. There have been alarming and disturbing stories of social and moral struggles, of the strengths and weaknesses, we tend to overlook in others. And in conclusion, what an incredible India we have that resides within each of our 1.2 billion souls!"
