Kaun Banega Crorepati: Goodbye forever or just this season? Bachchan's tearful KBC speech confuses fans

Kaun Banega Crorepati

On Friday, Amitabh Bachchan wrapped up another exciting season of the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. On the final episode of the show, Big B became a little emotional as he gave the final speech of the season. However, seeing the legendary star in tears, many thought that he was taking a retirement from the show, ending his decades-long journey as the host of the longest-running quiz shows in India.

The teaser of the final episode shows a montage of some of the iconic moments of Big B from season 15, before we see the legendary actor becoming teary-eyed as he gives the final speech. Soon after the video was released, netizens thought that Bachchan was bidding a final adieu to the show as the host.

In the video, Bachchan says in Hindi, “Deviyon aur sajjano, ab hum jaa rahe aur kal se yeh manch ab nahi sajega. Apno se yeh keh pana ki kal se hum yahan nahi aa payenge, na kehne ki himmat hoti aur na kehne ka mann hota hai (Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go and from tomorrow, things would not be the same, it's always difficult to say that from tomorrow, I will not be here.'').

As he isabout to finish his speech, the actor gets teary-eyed and in his signature style says, “Main Amitabh Bachchan iss daur ke liye, iss manch se akhri baar kehne jaa raha hu, Shubraatri (For the last time I, Amitabh Bachchan is waving goodbye to all of you from this stage. Goodnight)."

The video left everyone confused and surprised at the same time. Soon after watching the emotional video, netizens thought that the actor was taking a retirement from the show.

A fan wrote, “Amit Sir is (an) example of sheer dedication and passion at such an age.”

“It’s an end of an era! Thank you @amitabhbachchan sir for your dedication towards this show. My grandfather who’s no more loved KBC. My grandma tunes in to KBC every night. The show has entertained and taught us many things. Wishing you good health and happiness sir!” another fan wrote.

However, other netizens were quick to question whether he was waving goodbye to the season or the show. “Is this a goodbye for just this season or from the platform of #KaunBanegaCrorepati itself? He looks very emotional and doesn’t feel like an end only to a season.”

The makers have yet to clarify the confusion. The final segment of the show will feature special guests, including Avinash Bharti, Vidya Balan, Sharmila Tagore, and Sara Ali Khan.
