Can we expect an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati with Salman Khan asking questions? Because Amitabh Bachchan is A-Ok with it, reported news agency PTI. In a recent press conference, Big B welcomed his Baghban co-star to host the show and said: "I welcome Salman to host the show," reported PTI. Amitabh Bachchan's statement was a response to what Salman recently hoped for on reality show Dus Ka Dum. In a recent episode, Salman confessed that he would love to host Kaun Banega Crorepati, which has traditionally been hosted by Amitabh Bachchan for eight seasons now. Big B will return as the host for the 10th season of the show, which premieres on September 3.
Meanwhile, Big B was also asked if his granddaughter Aaradhya is aware of Kaun Banega Crorepati's popularity and he said: "She knows that there is a show called KBC. She loves the title music and can identity it. But I've not played this game with her. Though it's a good idea."
Amitabh Bachchan joined the renewed sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati earlier this month and shared about his delight of having returned to a familiar setting with a blog post, in which he wrote: "Back to the lights and hot seats and the eager contestants of this season's KBC." Big B also added a note for the show's crew: "The masters of the show always backing up with the expertise of the master of the game... Babu... giving personal attention and support."
