Amitabh Bachchan Says He Injured Knee During KBC 18 Shoot

Amitabh Bachchan said he injured his knee after slipping and falling during filming for Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, and appeared seated while hosting an episode after finding it difficult to stand. He told viewers the fall happened during the previous day’s shoot. Bachchan said the injury was not serious and that he expected to recover soon; no medical assessment or treatment details were reported. The actor, who usually delivers the quiz show’s opening monologue standing at the center of the stage, explained that he chose to speak to the audience while seated because standing was difficult. He described slipping and falling during filming, then indicated the knee as he recounted the injury. His account on the program is the basis for the reports of how the fall occurred. Bachchan continued hosting the episode, though he acknowledged difficulty getting to his feet. His reassurance about the injury’s severity and expected recovery was his own assessment, rather than a reported medical finding. The available information does not establish the precise extent of the injury or whether he received treatment.
