New Delhi. Iconic actor Amitabh Bachchan confirmed that he suffered a slight knee strain while filming the eighteenth edition of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The incident occurred when he lost his footing during a routine take.
Modified Opening Routine
In the following episode, the host broke from his usual habit of delivering the introductory monologue while standing at centre stage. Instead, he chose a chair and spoke to the audience from there, attributing the change to his recent injury.
