Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
12
is
being
filmed
and
aired
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
therefore
the
norms
on
the
sets
have
changed.
The
popular
game
show
no
longer
has
live
audience,
and
the
distance
between
host
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
contestant's
seats
have
been
increased.
It
goes
without
saying
that
there
is
also
strict
social
distancing.
Actor
Maniesh
Paul,
who
found
out
that
KBC
was
being
shot
near
his
shoot
location,
he
made
an
appearance
on
the
sets.
He
said
that
it
was
delightful
to
meet
Amitabh
Bachchan,
but
regrets
not
being
able
to
touch
his
feet.
Times
of
India
quoted
Maniesh
as
saying,
"It
is
always
a
delightful
pleasure
to
meet
Amit
sir,
to
be
able
to
bask
in
the
mesmerizing
aura
of
the
legend.
He
has
been
my
inspiration
growing
up
and
he
continues
to
inspire
me
even
today,
so
whenever
I
get
an
opportunity
to
meet
him,
I
make
sure
to
grab
it
with
open
arms.
He
continued,
"In
the
lockdown,
I
haven't
had
the
chance
to
meet
him
and
hence
when
I
got
to
know
he
was
shooting
for
KBC
just
nearby
where
I
was
shooting
for
my
show,
I
took
the
opportunity
and
visited
him
in
the
break.
Given
the
entire
pandemic
situation,
we
are
strictly
following
safety
protocols,
especially
considering
Amit
sir's
health
conditions,
hence
I
couldn't
hug
him
or
even
touch
his
feet
and
I
deeply
regret
it.
However,
it
is
always
an
overwhelming
experience
to
even
just
interact
with
him."
Maniesh
had
co-hosted
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
with
Amitabh
in
2014.
