The show renewed for the 16th season on 13th August, where the actor was welcomed with a thunderous applause and a standing ovation from the studio audience. The actor then took his hot seat and thanked the audience for their constant support and love. Amitabh Bachchan got emotional on stage and said, “Today marks the start of a new season.

But I'm a little short of words today. And that's because no word has the capacity to convey the gratitude for your love.” The 16th season of the most popular & loved show of Bharatiya Television🇮🇳 #KaunBanegaCrorepati hosted by @SrBachchan Gurudev ji commences.

My best of wishes. 🙌❤️ #KBC16 @SonyTV @arunshesh ji @prashantkawadia @VikasAgarwalll @DrAnilLoveAB @AmitJos58870630 @raj20k @RajibMittra pic.twitter.
