New Delhi. Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan confirmed that he suffered a slight knee injury while shooting the eighteenth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The incident occurred when he slipped during a routine take.
Changed Opening Routine
In the following episode, the host broke from his customary practice of standing at centre stage to deliver the introductory monologue. Instead, he chose to sit and address the audience, attributing the adjustment to the fresh injury.
