Bollywood Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has recently completed the 9th season of popular game show, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, said that he had damaged his vocal chords while hosting the just-concluded season.
Big B reportedly wrote in his blog that besides taking him closer to Television viewers, KBC has also taken a toll on his health. The veteran actor said that he had talked continually for the last month during the shooting of the game show, and thus damaged his vocal chords. He claimed to be suffering from severe throat pain, which is making him difficult to even swallow food. ‘I am taking the help of antibiotics and pain killers to overcome the throat pain,’ he reportedly said.
The Megastar however said that he enjoyed hosting the show despite all the physical strain. He thanked the audience and the team that worked on the show for making it a big success.
As per reports, Bachchan hosted the last few episodes of Season 9 with throat pain, which worsened towards the conclusion of the show. Of the 9 seasons of KBC, Big B has hosted 8 seasons. Despite his age, organizers couldn’t think of replacing him, such is the charisma he has created over the years as the host of KBC. His screen presence and enigmatic voice have always been the USP of the show.
