Amitabh Bachchan

Having hosted 14 seasons since the show's debut in 2000, Bachchan's heartfelt departure marked the end of yet another successful season.

During the show, Amitabh welcomed Avinash Bharti, a contestant from Haiderganj, Uttar Pradesh, to the hot seat.

Helen rose to fame at the age of 19 in 1958, captivating audiences with her performance in the song 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu' from the movie ‘Howrah Bridge’. Collaborating with legendary actor Shammi Kapoor, she delivered iconic dance numbers like 'Suku Suku' in 'Junglee', 'Yamma Yamma' in 'China Town', and 'O Haseena Zulfonwali' in 'Teesri Manzil'.

In 'Black,' co-written and directed by Bhansali, Bachchan plays the role of Debraj, the teacher of Michelle, portrayed by Rani Mukerji, who is a deaf-and-blind woman. Speaking on the set of the reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 15,' Bachchan welcomed a contestant and discussed the film when the question about Kajol's movies came up.

Pooja, visibly excited, expressed her disbelief at encountering the cinematic icon, stating, “Sir, you're real.” Amitabh, playfully addressing the audience, responded, “She's asking me if I'm real.” Pooja showered compliments on the 81-year-old star, praising his good looks, to which Amitabh humorously suggested they go for tea.

The veteran actor, hailing from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, reminisced about his schooling in Prayagraj and Nainital while hosting the knowledge-based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 15’.

Amitabh, who wed Jaya in June 1973, shares two children with her - actor Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Shweta Bachchan. Abhishek is married to former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Shweta is wed to businessman Nikhil Nanda.

Asked which honor Shah Rukh Khan had not received, Suhana mistakenly answered 'Padma Shri' instead of the correct answer, which was 'Volpi Cup'.

However, on Friday, the rumours got stronger after it was said that the actress has left the house of her in-laws and has been living separately.

Ranjeet then requested Amitabh to convey to his father that acting is a respectable field, to which Amitabh assured him and emphasized the positive aspects of an artist's life. The exchange showcased Amitabh's support for aspiring talents on the reality show. 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 15' airs on Sony.
