Amitabh Bachchan Injured At 83: What Happened on KBC18?

Amitabh Bachchan has given fans a reason to worry after revealing that he injured his knee in a fall on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. The megastar, now aged 83, is known for his energetic presence on the quiz show. He made an unusual appearance during a recent episode and delivered his opening monologue while seated rather than standing at the centre of the stage.

Explaining the change, Amitabh Bachchan revealed that he had slipped and fallen during the previous day’s shoot. Describing the incident, he said, “Yesterday, during the shoot, I slipped and fell with a loud thud and injured my knee. It’s torn. So I had trouble standing up.”

The actor added that he normally prefers to deliver his monologue standing, but the injury made it difficult this time. He therefore decided to begin the episode sitting down before resuming the game on his feet. Reassuring viewers about his condition, he asked them not to be concerned.

Despite the discomfort, Amitabh Bachchan continued filming and interacted with the audience and contestants without putting unnecessary strain on his injured knee. His decision to carry on with work at 83 has also highlighted the physical demands of his long-standing association with the popular quiz show.

While the veteran actor has not disclosed further details about the injury or its severity, his candid admission has prompted fans to send him wishes for a speedy recovery on social media.
