Fact
'KBC' was launched in 2000; SRK hosted the third season
Despite being a finite series, Kaun Banega Crorepati has been one of the top TRP generators for the airing channel.
Launched in 2000, the show has been a hit among viewers since its first season.
The second season came after a gap of four years. For the third season, Star TV recruited SRK as the host, but the ratings dropped significantly, forcing Bachchan's return.
