Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Host Amitabh Bachchan gets emotional as the season comes to an end; says 'Spending more than one third of my life with all of you is a great honor for me'

The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 marked the end of the season and host Amitabh Bachchan got emotional. The episode began with host Amitabh Bachchan welcoming the audience for the last time on season 17.

Before he resumed the game, he spoke to the audience and said, "'Kabhi kabhi hum kuch pal ko itne jee lete hain ke, itna kho jaate hain ke jab woh pal apne aakhri chor mein hota hai toh lagta hai ki, arre abhi abhi toh shuru hua tha, aur itni jaldi khatam bhi hogaya. Sab kuch aisa lagta hai maano kal ki he baat hai. Inhi bhaavnao se gujarate hue. Main iss khel ki shurwat karne jaa raha hoon."




He added, "Apne jeevan ka ek tehahi ji haan one third of my life, se zyaada hissa aap sab ke saath bitana, mere liye bahot he saubhagya ki baat hai. Jab Jab maine iss manch se kaha hai ke hum aarahe hain ke aap sab ne khuli bahaaon se mera swagat kiya hai. Jab main hasaa hoon toh aap hasse hain, jab meri aakhein num hui hain toh aapke bhi aankhon se aansu bahe hain. Aap mere saath iss safar mein bhagidaar bante rahe hain, Aarambh se lekar anth tak. Aap hain toh ye khel hai, aur ye khel hai toh hum hain. Bahot bahot dhanyavaad aapka."

(Sometimes, we live a moment in which we get so lost in it that when that moment comes to an end, it feels as if it had just begun, and it's ending so soon. Everything feels like yesterday. Going through these feelings, I am going to start the last day of the game. Spending more than a third of my life with all of you is a great honor for me. Whenever I have said to my heart that we are coming, all of you have welcomed me with open arms. Whenever I have laughed, all of you have laughed with me. Whenever I have cried, all of you have cried with me. All of you have been a part of this journey with me from the beginning to the end. All I have to say to you is that I have the ability. If you are here, then this is a game, and if this is a game, then we are here.)

As the show was coming to end and the megastar witnessed the audience getting emotional, Amitabh Bachchan decided to lift the spirit of the entire studio by singing for over 32 minutes. He turned the finale into a massive celebration of the show.

Big B took it on himself with an impressive 32 minutes impromptu singing performance. Amitabh Bachchan sang continuously and the audience was seen dancing, clapping, cheering, and singing along with him. Throughout his performance, he kept interacting with the audience and explained each folk song.

He sang some of his timeless favourites like “Hori Khele Raghuveera” from Baghban, “Rang Barse Bheege Chunarwali” from Silsila, “Chalat Musafir” from Teesri Kasam, and “Mere Angne Mein” from Laawaris, and also a special traditional, folk songs.

While singing a stanza 'jiski biwi choti' from Mere Angne Mein, he jokingly said, "ye line humara personal hai, toh hum apne liye gaayenge. Kyunki ghar par jhagda bhi hosakta hai."

Not only the audience, even host Amitabh Bachchan was seen enjoying the performance. After completing the 32-minute nonstop singing act, he chose to sing a special song written by his father, Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
