As it is Kaun Banega Crorepati season 10’s premiere today, we could not help but get nostalgic about the whole craze that was started way back. The show was introduced to us in 2000 and since then the makers are unstoppable. The unique format of question and answers was made interesting by the makers with the addition of huge winner amount. All said and done, would the show be the same if there was no AMITABH BACHCHAN as the host and judge? NO!

There are reasons why the show reached the peak of popularity and one of the major reasons is the host and his way of hosting. There are several reasons why AB is totally irreplaceable as the host and we have even seen the example of it already.

The Bachchan Style Hindi

When it comes to the language used in the show, no one beat his ‘shuddh’ Hindi. His proficiency over the language and the tone is completely relatable to all the age groups. In this age of Hinglish, this acts like a breath of fresh air.

The Ultra Popular Dialogues

Every kid and oldie out there knows the extremely famous dialogues used by Bachchan in the show. His words like ‘computer ji lock kar diya jaye’, ‘aur ye galat jawab’, ‘bahut hi unda khele aap’, ‘taaliya bajti rehni chahiye’ are literally used by the common people in their day to day lives. Maybe, that’s the reason why they also made their way through memes.

The Bachchan Craze

Undoubtedly, he is the superstar of Hindi cinema industry. His stardom has not got down even an inch ever since his career in Bollywood started. Naturally, generations over generations are totally in awe of him making him the most-loved actor of the millennium. The craze and the wish of the fans to ‘meet him at least once in a life’ makes the people root for this game show with the hope of talking to him in some of the other ways!

These and more reasons make him one of the most respectable hosts of the Television space. His risk of entering the TV space when no one else did is paying off till date. Also, stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Govinda who tried their hands on quiz shows failed to create the mark that Big B did. Naturally, it is a given fact that no one replaces Mr Bachchan ever!
