Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 Shoot Paused Amid Amitabh Bachchan's Health and Scheduling Updates
The filming of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 has been paused for about a week due to host Amitabh Bachchan's health concerns, with the channel airing previously recorded celebrity episodes, including a special featuring the Ramayana cast, during this break. While most sources attribute the halt to Bachchan's health, one report cites scheduling conflicts as the reason. Bachchan has shared reflections on his gradual return to routine in his blog. Filming is expected to resume next week, subject to his recovery.
