Kaun Banega Crorepati Shoot Paused Amid Amitabh Bachchan's Health and Scheduling Updates
The shoot of Amitabh Bachchan-hosted quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) has been paused for about a week. Most reports attribute the break to the actor's health concerns, while one source cites scheduling conflicts as the reason. During this period, the channel has aired previously recorded episodes, including a special featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Ravi Dubey promoting the film Ramayana. Filming is expected to resume next week, depending on Bachchan's availability and well-being. Bachchan also shared a reflective blog post about gradually returning to work.
