Digital Desk: Amitabh Bachchan, the iconic host of the immensely popular quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, recently bid a poignant farewell to its 15th season. The makers shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, compiling memorable moments from Mr. Bachchan's appearances. In the emotional clip, he expressed gratitude, stating, “Devi aur Sajjano, ab hum jaa rahe aur kal se yeh manch ab nahi sajega" (Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now bidding farewell, and from tomorrow, this stage will no longer be adorned).

Notable guests like Vidya Balan, Sheela Devi, Sharmila Tagore, and Sara Ali Khan added a touch of humour, sharing amusing incidents from their interactions with the legendary host. Fans flooded the comments section with heartfelt messages, some expressing their love with heart emojis, while others simply wrote, "Miss You."

In a touching gesture, Vidya Balan shared a compilation video of Amitabh Bachchan talking about his wife, Jaya Bachchan. Sharmila Tagore disclosed Jaya Bachchan's nickname and Sara Ali Khan reminisced about her childhood memories associated with KBC.

The 15th season had its share of triumphs, with Jaskaran Singh, a 21-year-old from Punjab, becoming the first crorepati of the year. Premiering on August 14 on Sony TV, the show introduced new elements to keep viewers engaged. Vishwas Tulshiram Dake, a farmer from Maharashtra, took the hot seat in the latest episode, showcasing the diverse backgrounds of contestants.

The show, known for its enduring popularity, is not limited to television screens. Viewers can catch the excitement on the SonyLIV app, expanding its reach. Innovations such as the Super Sandook feature, offering contestants a chance to recover potential losses, and the Double Dip lifeline have been introduced, enhancing the strategic aspect of the game. 

Additionally, "Desh Ka Sawal" has been incorporated to boost audience engagement, making Kaun Banega Crorepati a timeless favourite that continues to evolve with each season.
