Amitabh Bachchan was seen getting teary-eyed as his daughter Shweta Bachchan asked him about completing 1000 episodes on Kaun Banega Crorepati. Big B began hosting the show on July 3, 2000, and since then he has donned the hosting hat with an exception of the 3rd season which was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan. But recently, as KBC clocked 1000 episodes, it was extra special for Amitabh Bachchan as his daughter Shweta Bachchan and granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda graced the show as guests.
Shweta was seen asking her father how does he feel reaching this milestone on the show, Big B said, “Aise laga meri duniya badal gai (it seems as my whole world had changed).” The legendary star was shown a montage of his time on the show and he could not help but get emotional.
The Piku star then resumed the game with Shweta and Navya saying, “Khel ko aage badhate hain kyunki khel abhi khatm nahi hua hai, hai ki nahi? (lets take the game forward because the game is yet not over, isn’t it)?”

The actor further shared on his blog, “So yes, the 1000th episode on the platform of Kaun Banega Crorepati was given its due importance and the request by the channel to bring in the family on that revered and feared hot seat was accepted. And there we were, as per the pictures in the previous,” he added, “A delight to be able to not just test the ability of the ‘contestants’ but to give the freedom to express what many have felt has been undisclosed and kept behind closed doors. The banter of the family dining table, the repartee, and most importantly the several causes that the young at this age think about and work for. An evening of great pride for the father and grandfather – for Papa and Nana!”
