Kaun Banega Crorepati gets its contestant number 1,000

[Thakur]

New Delhi, Sep 8: Reality game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” (KBC), which was launched in 2000, welcomed its thousandth contestant recently.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has been hosting the show since its launch – barring the third season – introduced medical student Syed Murtuza Hashmi from Hyderabad as the 1,000th contestant on KBC, read a
statement. His brother Syed Mustfa had participated in the sixth season and had reached a payout of Rs.25 lakh, but after
giving the wrong answer, he went back with a smaller amount.

The Indian version of internationally popular “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” is currently in the eighth season and is aired on Sony Entertainment Television. Celebrities like
Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Rani Mukerji have made their appearances on the
ongoing season already.

MUMBAI: “Namaskar, main Amitabh Bachchan bol raha hoon Kaun Banega Crorepati se…” is a
phrase that has stayed with us for the past 14 years.

Over the years, KBC has made way into people’s homes and hearts, on the back of one factor alone—Big B.

The journey of over 650 episodes has been a long and strenuous one for Big Synergy (the
production house), Big B himself as well as the broadcasting channel which changed from Star
Plus to Sony Entertainment Television
