On Wednesday (July 13), Amitabh shared pictures from the sets of KBC 14 on his blog. He wrote, “Back to the boards and the apprehension and fears and doubts arise again .. and each season presents itself similarly .. others think otherwise .. they are not wise, or in due process of the understanding needed to face camera and audience .. a claim much debated, but in all earnestness it is factual for me…”
“There is an ‘each time I say never again’ and yet it all comes back when the commitment has been made .. so comply and accept and go ahead with the best efforts .. and so one tries .. mock rehearsals are such a must .. all the detailing of the work the changes the understanding of the job at hand and then its execution .. all a jumble just yet and the doers say its fine we shall manage and do it well .. I have nothing but praise for their confidence .. and I do hope it all falls into place .. o dear .. life is a challenge each day”, he added.
KBC launched in 2000 with Amitabh Bachchan taking the host seat. While he is associated with the show since its inception, season 3 was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan.
