It is certainly not a good news for the fans of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). And, the news is that Amitabh Bachchan has finished shooting for KBC 9. “KBC draws to an end,” Amitabh Bachchan posted on his blog. Big B has thanked KBC 9 team and audience for making it another historic event in the history of the show. In his blog, Big B wrote, “Thank you all .. for making this another historic event in the history of the show .. 17 years ago it created history and you have made it happen again .. that is no small task .. the show is No 1 in its rankings and has brought the Channel Sony to No 1 position .. !! … exactly what it did in the past .. in the year 2000 ..”

Bachchan added, “But this most complicated game show would never be the same if it were not for the dedicated and most constructive team of almost 450 personnel, working tirelessly round the clock in the varied and various departments of the show .. To them my salutations .. they make the appearance the cheer the suspense the quizzing .. all look so unimaginably great gracious and generous, that even this very weak attempt at an alliteration pales before it ..Thank you dear KBC team for your patience and your efficiency .. your detailing and the intelligent outputs in its programming .. the coordination and the execution of all that is required and at times not required .. haha ehe .. that was a little side one with those that I deal with and flush past them in mirth ..”
