Amitabh Bachchan gets breather as Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 begins
Amitabh Bachchan is a famous Indian actor who hosts a television quiz show called Kaun Banega Crorepati.
On this show, people answer multiple-choice questions to win money.
Bachchan said he has been working very, very hard lately, from 7 in the morning until almost 7 the next morning.
That means he sometimes worked for 24 hours in a row.
He said commitments must come before sleep and food, so he had no time to write on his blog.
He was sorry he could not talk to his fans, and he promised to reconnect once he reorganizes his system.
The new season of his quiz show is starting now, which gives him a well-deserved break.
He also appears in a rap song called Sochna Padgea for the show.
The program is the Hindi version of a worldwide game show, and its first new episode will air on August 10.
Amitabh Bachchan said the start of Kaun Banega Crorepati's 18th season gave him a much-needed break from a schedule stretching from '7 a.m. to almost 7 a.m. the next day.'
He apologized on his Tumblr blog for missed posts, saying 24-hour work days left no time to connect with fans.
Bachchan features in a bold pop-culture avatar in the rap song 'Sochna Padgea' for the upcoming edition of the show.
KBC is the official Hindi adaptation of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, hosted by Bachchan for every season except the third, when Shah Rukh Khan replaced him.
The first episode of the new season is set to premiere on August 10 on Sony Entertainment Television.
