It was not just the Bachchan household and friends who had doubts about Amitabh's TV debut with Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2000.
Critics also showed concern when the show shifted to a new channel (Sony TV) in 2010 with Big B as its host. They were proved wrong again as KBC became the top show across channels. The show hit the tube with its second season on Sony on the eve of Independence Day and history has repeated itself.
The show has registered 5.24 TVRs for the opening episode, highest for any non-fiction show this year. We had asked Amitabh what he had to say about the unshifting loyalty of his viewers, and he said, "I have no idea. I am grateful to them. It's ensuring us jobs." The overwhelming mandate is that Big B is the winner and the message is loud and clear to his colleagues on other reality shows - buddha hoga tera baap.
