It is inspiring to witness Amitabh Bachchan back in action after his short tryst with COVID- 19. Big B is back on the sets of the popular quiz show- ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ to resume shooting.
It was only recently that he battled the virus and emerged victorious against the disease. Getting back to work in such a short time frame is incredible, keeping the age factor of the senior actor in mind.
Amitabh shared pictures of the KBC sets which looked very different than the usual. The crew was covered from neck to toe in blue PPE sets, with masks on. The images looked more like screenshots from NASA!
He captioned the image, “It's back at work... in a sea of blue PPE... KBC 12... started 2000... today year 2020... 20 years! Amaze... that's a lifetime!”

The actor revealed that shooting was not the same like the days when things were “normal.” He expressed, “There is a loss of camaraderie... no one speaks unless it's work related... it's like a laboratory where some rather deep scientific experiments abound... this was never expected... never the time to see such visuals... but there it is...recognised faces now unrecognisable... and the doubts whether we are in the right place, with the right people... but... we muster up the fears and be on... there is great consideration and care being extended... all precautions carefully worked out and followed... precautions were there earlier too in times of distress... but this time its severe... its personal... this time, they know its fatality, god forbid... and that lingers... the light-heartedness has sealed itself... isolated... do the do and leave.”
Big B’s revelations and description of work during the pandemic are saddening. It raises questions about whether life will ever be the same after the pandemic ends. Will there be fears and apprehensions? Will there be a change in the equation between friends and colleagues? Hopefully, the situation will change for the better of humanity. Only time will say!
Amitabh has been hosting the quiz show since 2000 for almost all seasons except season 3 which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. It is one of the most entertaining shows that the Indian audience has ever witnessed; changing the fortune of thousands of participants for the better through their knowledge and sharpness.
The first three seasons were aired on Star Plus, the viewership of which skyrocketed after the game show was aired. It has been airing on Sony TV since 2010. He started shooting for the latest season in the month of May; two months after which he was diagnosed with COVID-19 on July 11. He was hospitalized along with Abhishek Bachchan albeit he was released earlier on August 2.
