Amitabh Bachchan has admitted that hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 has not always been an easy experience. While the popular quiz show is known for its questions, big wins and light-hearted conversations, the veteran actor said some contestants have brought stories that have been difficult to handle.
The megastar spoke about this side of the show in his latest post on his personal Tumblr account. Big B said that listening to contestants talk about their personal struggles can affect him while he is also expected to continue with his role as the host.
“Some contestants come with such grave personal stories, that it becomes difficult to conduct not just our feelings for them but also to continue hosting the show,” he wrote.
Amitabh Bachchan added that he did not want to reveal too much about what happens during these conversations. However, he made it clear that some of the stories have stayed with him.
“I shall not indulge more because it would take away some elements from the understanding that a host gives to the Channel .. but it has been a heart-breaking experience,” he admitted.
