Shows: Kaun Banega Crorepati, Kaun Banega Crorepati Dvitiya, Bigg Boss Season 3, KBC season 4 and 5: Look at the previous decade in Indian television and Amitabh Bachchan seems to have the highest presence. A large part of it is due to the Kaun Banega Crorepati game show that breathed new life into Bachchan’s popularity way back in 2000. Since then, every show he has graced has turned out to be a runaway hit. Even his stint on Bigg Boss catapulted the TRPs of the show to new heights. Advertisements and reality TV owe Bachchan a big one.
