The seventeenth season of the beloved quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) recently concluded its five-month run, leaving fans with a treasure trove of memories. Amidst the nostalgia, an old video featuring the show's iconic host, Amitabh Bachchan, has resurfaced online, capturing hearts across social media platforms.
Big B's Heartfelt Tribute To A 50-Year Partnership
In the viral clip, Amitabh Bachchan is seen showering praise on his longtime makeup artist, Deepak Sawant. The megastar revealed that Sawant has been an integral part of his professional journey for an incredible five decades. Bachchan emotionally shared that throughout his career spanning over 200 films, there was not a single day when Deepak Sawant was absent from his side.
"He will come on time, no matter what happens. Whether you are sick or whatever. Not a single day in 50 years when he is not with us," Bachchan stated, highlighting Sawant's remarkable punctuality and dedication.
The actor then shared an even more poignant anecdote to illustrate his colleague's profound commitment. "Three days ago, Deepak Sawant's brother died. And despite that, he has come to work. He did not have anyone to tell him to work today. This is integrity. This is commitment," Bachchan said, visibly moved while describing the incident.
An Emotional Finale For KBC Season 17
The finale episode of KBC season 17 was itself an emotional affair. Host Amitabh Bachchan became teary-eyed after watching a special audio-visual montage showcasing the best moments from the show's illustrious history across seasons.
Addressing the audience, he reflected on the journey, saying, "Sometimes, we live in a moment in which we get so lost in it that when that moment comes to an end, it feels as if it had just begun... Spending more than a third of my life with all of you is a great honor for me."
He expressed deep gratitude for the unwavering support of the viewers, noting how they had laughed and cried with him throughout the years. "All of you have been a part of this journey with me from the beginning to the end," he added.
A Grand Musical Send-Off
Marking the end of the season in a grand fashion, the legendary actor also treated the audience to a spectacular 32-minute non-stop musical medley. His performance seamlessly blended folk and traditional songs with some of his own iconic hits, including popular tracks like 'Mere Angne Mein' and 'Padosan Apni Murgi Ko Rakhna Sambhal'.
The resurgence of the old video, combined with the heartfelt finale, has reminded fans of the deep human connections and stories of loyalty that exist beyond the glitz of showbiz. It underscores the values of dedication and integrity that Amitabh Bachchan himself holds in high regard, both on and off the Kaun Banega Crorepati hot seat.
