Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 Shoot Paused Amid Amitabh Bachchan's Health Concerns
Filming of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 has been paused for about a week due to host Amitabh Bachchan's health issues, reportedly a seasonal flu and hand discomfort affecting his ability to write. The show has been airing previously recorded episodes, including a special featuring the Ramayana cast. Bachchan has shared updates and apologies on his blog, expressing gratitude for fans' support and explaining delays in responding to greetings. Shooting is expected to resume next week if his health permits.
