    What's the story

    Legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has started shooting for the 16th season of the popular quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC).

    The first day of filming was on July 24, as revealed by Bachchan in his blog.

    In another blog entry on Thursday, he shared his excitement and behind-the-scenes photos, describing the day as a "mix of nerves, apprehension, and tension."

    To recall, Season 15 ran between August 2023 and December 2023 on Sony TV.
