Kaun Banega Crorepati is India's most iconic television show. It is also responsible for reviving the career of Big B, who back in time was facing a severe financial crunch. During the late 1990s, Big B's production house, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation (AB Corp) had gone belly up, given its overly corporate approach in times when the industry followed a very traditional way of making movies. In a bid to pay off the creditors, Big B took to the medium of television with KBC in 2000. Suddenly, a megastar, who earlier was only accessible on the silver screen, reached millions of Indian households through television. With the strength of a new medium by his side, Big B not only booked the primetime of India for himself but also made a place in the heart of every Indian family.
