Whenever it comes to decency, knowledge and unmatched dialogue delivery in the history of Indian television, the first name that comes to mind is megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has given a historical identity to the stage of Kaun Banega Crorepati i.e. KBC with his presence. But these days, such a shocking and heart-wrenching news is coming out from the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati, which has left millions of its fans deeply worried. The conflict-filled, painful and shocking stories narrated by the contestants during the show have completely broken the superstar of the century from within. In a very emotional moment of the shooting, these words suddenly came out of Amitabh Bachchan’s mouth that it was too late now and the night was calling him back, hearing which everyone present there and the team on the set were stunned. Coming to this stage of age, constantly facing the tears and struggles of every contestant’s personal life and feeling their pain within oneself is mentally and physically very tiring for any person, and this is the reason why now the speculations about him leaving the show have started gaining momentum.
Kaun Banega Crorepati’s stage and his unbreakable emotional bond with Amitabh Bachchan
This journey of Amitabh Bachchan and Kaun Banega Crorepati is not limited to just hosting a reality game show, but for the last two decades, it has become a living mirror of the dreams, struggles and hopes of the common man of India on whom the entire country blindly trusts. When the megastar sits on the hot seat and talks to a young man or a struggling mother from a small town, he is seen not just as a host but as the head of the family, wiping their tears and inspiring them to move forward. This platform has not only given an opportunity to crores of people of the country to become economically strong, but has also provided a platform at the national level to the hidden talents of remote villages and towns of India where they can tell their untold stories to the whole world. But this popularity and success also comes at a huge mental and emotional cost, because when a sensitive artist faces the deep sorrows of people, poverty, diseases and dark aspects of society for so many months, that pain gradually starts dominating his own mind. The megastar has admitted many times that many of the stories he hears during the show are so horrifying and heart-wrenching that he is unable to sleep at night, and the mental pressure is now exceeding the limits of his health and stamina.
Shocking stories and struggle of contestants which tore the heart of Shahenshah to the core.
Many of the contestants coming in this new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati belong to such a background whose struggles in life are enough to bring tears to the eyes of any stone-hearted person, and the sensitivity of the megastar is well known. When a contestant narrates on this stage his stories of starvation, serious illness of his parents, needing every penny for the treatment of his children or the atrocities given by the society, the air of the studio becomes completely heavy. Amitabh Bachchan listens to all these stories very attentively and tries to give them every possible help or consolation from his side, but humans have limits and seeing so many tears continuously creates a huge void within any sensitive person. Recently, when the shooting came to a halt after a similar heart-wrenching incident, the megastar openly expressed the turmoil going on within him in front of his makers and close ones. He said that the weight of these stories is now feeling very heavy on his shoulders, and this ever increasing mental stress is also becoming a big challenge to his health at this stage of his life, which is no longer possible to ignore.
“The night is calling”: The real diplomatic meaning of this mysterious and painful statement of the megastar
When a well-spoken and well-spoken artist like Amitabh Bachchan suddenly utters the sentence, “It’s late, now the night is calling”, behind it is hidden not just a general tiredness but the call of solitude in life which he keeps searching for amidst his busy schedules. The discipline, energy and dedication with which Amitabh Bachchan, who has crossed the age of more than eighty, still shoots in the studio for twelve to fourteen hours a day, is an example for the youth around the world. But despite this tireless hard work, the body keeps its demands and at this stage of age, it becomes the right of every human being to spend some moments of mental peace and tranquility with loved ones. This gesture of ‘night is calling’ clearly indicates that now they want a break from that hectic life, where they have to come in front of the camera every day and collect the sorrows and tears of the world in their chest. Since his statement came out, his fans and social media users are continuously praying that the megastar remains completely healthy and even if he wants to leave the show, he should get full opportunity to live his personal life peacefully.
Impact on the television industry and is this era of KBC really going to end?
If Amitabh Bachchan indeed bids goodbye to the Kaun Banega Crorepati platform or steps away from hosting it after this season, it will leave a huge and unfillable void in the history of Indian television. Ninety percent of the credit for the show’s TRP and popularity over the years goes directly to Amitabh Bachchan’s unique style, his dignity and the way he treats every contestant. It is very scary for the channel and the makers to think whether any other face will be able to sit on this prestigious chair and maintain the level of credibility and dignity that Amitabh Bachchan has established. Although there is no official confirmation yet on his leaving the show, the kind of signals being received from the megastar make it clear that he is in no mood to take too much pressure at the last stage of his career. In the coming days, it will be very interesting to see how the channel and Amitabh Bachchan himself handle this situation, but one thing is certain that this chapter of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ is always going to leave an indelible mark in the hearts of the Indian media and audience.
