What can you gift a megastar who has it all? The question haunted the creative team of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) over the past month, as their superstar-host Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday drew near. “We always keep in mind that we shouldn’t overdo it as he likes to keep things simple,” says Arun Sheshkumar, who has been directing the quiz show over the past nine years. After much deliberation, the answer came to him. “The best way to celebrate his birthday would be by roping in his fans.”
