Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a candid update with his fans regarding his health after suffering an injury on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. The veteran actor, who is known for his playful and warm rapport with the audience, revealed that he took a tumble while filming the latest season of the iconic quiz show. Explaining the incident in his signature style, Big B shared that he accidentally slipped on set and fell, resulting in a knee injury that has made it physically challenging for him to stand for long periods.
During the recent episode, the actor was seen interacting with the audience while seated, explaining that the pain in his knee made standing difficult. He recounted the incident with a touch of humour, telling the viewers, “Godwa mei humara chot lag gaya hai. Kal shooting mei fisal gawa paa, gire dhadam se.” Despite the discomfort, the legendary host continued his professional commitments, maintaining his legendary dedication to the show he has fronted since its inception in 2000, barring the 2007 season hosted by Shah Rukh Khan.
This update on his health follows a flurry of speculation regarding the actor’s career longevity. Earlier this week, Bachchan found himself at the centre of retirement rumours after a blog post of his was misinterpreted by certain media outlets. Addressing the gossip head-on, he clarified that his use of the word “retire” was simply a literal reference to heading to bed for the night. He shut down the exit rumours with his trademark wit, confirming that he has no intention of stepping away from his work, and even jokingly told the media that they were not invited to his bedtime routine.
