New Delhi: Amitabh Bachchan has returned to small screens with the new season of his hugely popular TV show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. The new season has a new mantra that only knowledge can get what you deserve.
The Indian version of 'Who wants to be a millionaire?' received a name because of Amitabh Bachchan. The show started in the year 2000 and Big B has been associated with the show since its beginning.
It was a time when the small screen was not seen as a serious threat to the silver screen. Though Ekta Kapoor and some other producers were drawing audiences to TV via their serials, but there was not a single show that every member of the family could see together.
