Amitabh Bachchan will host next season KBC

Amitabh Bachchan will host next season KBC: Little wonder then that he’s been roped in by Sony Entertainment Television to host two more seasons of the show.

“Sony and I have signed on for KBC for the next two seasons... your blessings and encouragement needed in abundance!” Amitabh posted on his Twitter page.

It was Amitabh who first launched the show in 2000. He returned as its host for the second season in 2005 but was replaced by Shahrukh Khan in the show’s third season, but the audience response wasn’t as phenomenal as expected.

Last year, Big B returned as the host and revived the show and took its TRPs beyond those of other prime time shows, including Bigg Boss 4.

Sony Entertainment has confirmed that Big B has been signed to host two more seasons of the show. The fifth season will go on air this year only.

Amitabh-Abhishek-Aishwarya enjoying London chill

Amitabh-Abhishek-Aishwarya enjoying London chill: Just yesterday we reported about Abhishek being alone in Europe while Ash was seen with her pa-in-law Amitabh Bachchan at the award functions over the last week. Well, now the family has come together again in London, as this pic shows.

Abhi was recently spotted attending the Milan Fashion Week alone. And Big B too recently escaped an emergency situation in a London hotel where he had been staying.

Guess the trio’s stay in London is turning out to be quite eventful.

Amitabh Bachchan against to using word 'Bollywood'

Amitabh Bachchan against to using word 'Bollywood': Amitabh Bachchan's disdain for the word Bollywood is as well known as his prodigal talent, and his vanity, and his periodic and indefatigable pursuit of the quixotic.

Amitabh Bachan

Bachchan has been campaigning against use of the word Bollywood to describe the Indian film industry for years, without enthusing many. From his tweet this morning, it is clear that he isn't giving up his crusade any time soon.

"FI : Film Industry, InFI : Indian Film Industry ... a much recommended and apt name than the other plagiarized often used euphemism !" he tweeted.

We are unabashed Bachchan admirers (Yes, we do admire people other than Vidya Balan.), but we feel it is time to give Mr. Bachchan a reality check, with due apologies if it makes him squirm.

Mr Bachchan please recall all the ridiculous movies that you made us, your fans, watch, just because we admired your talent. You made bank leading us into cinema halls, like a Pied Piper, to watch your films, only to leave us orphaned of our sanity with the pathetic fare that was dished out in those halls.

If you have any difficulty recalling the names of those movies, we are there to help.

Maybe some of those despicable apologies to cinema you headlined to help your producer friends, but you did so by cheating your fans!

You prostituted your talent, more unabashedly than a sex worker, so we prefer to call the Indian Film Industry Bollywood, not the euphemism that you want us to use - InFI.

By the way don't kid yourself. Bollywood is still serving much of the mindless fare that you headlined in the 1980s and 90s. It certainly doesn't represent India so doesn't deserve to be named after the nation.

Amitabh and Ash dance together at KBC

Amitabh and Ash dance together at KBC: Big B is still making waves despite nearing the seventh decade of his life. His ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati-4’ has been garnering TRP’s rapidly leaving almost all the reality shows far behind.

Known for his politeness and witty conversation that sparkles with wisdom and profund knowledge, Mr. Bachchan himself cannot be likened to anything frivolous at all especially not when he is on the sets of KBC  trying to help the contestants win the booty of 1 crore with an additional option of winning five times more at a single go.

The entire country therefore stared in surprise when they saw the huge superstar of yesteryear put on his dancing cap for the ladli bahu of his family. Yes! You got it right! Amithabh Bachchan proceeded to shake a leg to the tunes of ‘Zor ka Jhatka’ a song from ‘Action Replayy’ starring Aishwarya and Akshay Kumar.The audience seemed to be regaled at watching the Big B himself get up from his seat and proceed to jive along with his Bahu and co-star. A wonderfully entertaining moment to say the least! The festive season undoubtedly makes everyone light headed not to speak of being light on their feet.
