Set to air today, the prime time episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati will be its 1000th. It’s a prominent landmark for both, the show, as well as host Amitabh Bachchan — if the reality offering gave Bachchan’s career a new lease of life in 2000, the legend’s work made the series among the most popular ones on Indian television. It’s only fitting then that this landmark be celebrated. Arun Sheshkumar, who directed Bachchan in almost 600 episodes of KBC, says there was no better way to mark the occasion than to invite Bachchan’s family, including daughter Shweta and grand-daughter Navya Naveli Nanda as guests.
