KBC 4 to go on air from Oct 11

The fourth season of quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati to be hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan will go on air from his 68th birthday on October 11.


"Questions to first round of entry to the show starts today. Broadcast starts October 11. KBC lines opened at 9pm and in the first 5 minutes, there were 1.5 lakh SMSs (sic)," the 67-year-old actor wrote.

"This is scary. Need to get back and start rehearsing to deliver what these numbers indicate and expect," he added.

Incidentally, KBC phone lines opened on August 2 which Bachchan's family members also consider as his "Happy 2nd Birthday" because he came back from the hospital on this day after he was declared "clinically dead" when he suffered grave injuries during an accident on the sets of Coolie.

Bachchan's children Shweta and Abhishek greeted their father on the occasion.

Shweta tweeted, "family wish him coz its the day he came home 4m hospi... every fam has a defining moment, we have had several. The 82' incident was perhaps the most grave nd public (sic)."

Big B will celebrate his 68th birthday with KBC Season 4

Big B will celebrate his 68th birthday with Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 4, which will kick off on the 11th of October.

It’s not only October 11th, which is important. August 2 was the day when the KBC 4 phone lines were opened for registration and that day is considered to be Big B’s 2nd birth date. On August 2 Big B returned from the hospital after suffering a fatal injury during the Coolie shoot and thus got a new life. Big B’s kids can’t forget the special day and both Shweta Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan wrote about it to their father on Twitter. Junior wrote,”Happy 2nd birthday day pa @SrBachchan!!!”

KBC and Bigg Boss will be competing with each other

With Kaun Banega Crorepati being aired on Sony Channel, Colors have also come up with Bigg Boss.

The former will be hosted by Mr Bachchan and the latter by Salman Khan. Last year Mr Bachchan hosted Bigg Boss.

The two reality shows will be competing with each other and will be aired at the same time slot. CEO of Colors stated “Big Boss is one show that cuts across both – India as well as Bharat, in popularity and appeal.

The coming together of India’s most ‘wanted’ superstar with India’s most wanted reality show only means one thing – entertainment extravaganza for COLORS.” Salman states that among all reality shows “Bigg Boss” is one that intrigued him the most.
