Kaun Banega Crorepati Completes 25 Years , A Show That Boosted Amitabh Bachchans Stardom
However, his choice of picture was something that didn't sit well with the post. The AI-generated picture was far from the show or its theme. The actor nevertheless wrote in the caption, 'Today 3rd July , 2025 , as I work on this years season KBC prep, I am told by the KBC team - 3rd July 2000, the first broadcast of KBC happened .. 25 years , the life of KBC (sic)'. 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' is one of India's most iconic television shows.
It is also responsible for reviving the career of Big B, who back in time was facing a severe financial crunch. During the late 1990s, Big B's production house, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation (AB Corp) had gone belly up, given its overly corporate approach in times when the industry followed a very traditional way of making movies. In a bid to pay off the creditors, Big B took to the medium of television with 'KBC' in 2000.
Suddenly, a megastar, who earlier was only accessible on the silver screen, reached millions of Indian households through television. With the strength of a new medium by his side, Big B not just booked the primetime of India for himself but also made a place in the heart of every Indian family.
The Indian audience gave an overwhelming response to Big B in 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' which is based on the UK show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' The show was also hosted by Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan for one of its seasons but it didn't get as much a good response from the audience compared to Big B's stint.

"Itni Mehenat Se..." - Little Girl Goes Viral For Valuing Mom's Cooking
It is the small appreciations from the family that bring all the joy to moms. Agree? In the video, a baby girl can be seen sitting with a bowl of what appears to be dal makhani and roti. In her cute voice, she is heard mentioning, ' Bhukh toh lag nahi rahi par khana padega (I am not feeling hungry, but I will have to eat).' Despite not feeling hungry, she insists on consuming her meal, which her mother has prepared with so much hard work. But her expression and cute words are sure to etch a special place in your heart. Soon after, her mother adds, ' Rehne do nhi khana ho toh beta (Leave it, if you don't want to eat beta).' But the little girl responds with a warm smile, ' Itni mehenat se banaya hai khana toh padega. Dinner toh karliya vaise maine. (It has been prepared with so much hard work, I will have to eat. I have already had dinner),' leaving her mother in awe of her loving nature. Even when her doting mother advised her to stop eating forcefully, the child persists, ' Nhi aapki itni mehenat jisme lag gyi toh agar main isko hi jhuta chor dunga toh kya hoga? (No, you have put in so much hard work, if I do not eat it, then what will happen?)' As she takes a bite of the food, the attentive mother then asks, ' Mann nhi hai khaane ka (Don't you feel like eating)?' The kid then adorably nods her head in denial but continues savouring the meal. As the scene changes, the kid can be seen with the almost finished bowl of dal makhani and roti, while her mom mentions, ' Arey baas kar meri jaan, nhi khaa nah jabardasti mat kha nah, it's okay (It's enough, my dear, don't force yourself to eat). At this point, when the little one tries to consume even the residual leftover from the same bowl, her mom continues to say, " Baas kar do (Please stop eating forcefully.)" But the kid replies, " Khaana padega, mehenat hai (I will have to eat, it is hard work),' prompting her mommy to say, ' Kamal ho aap bhi yaar (You are amazing).' The video ends with her cutely offering her mom the last bite of her meal, saying, " Aap bhi khaoge daal makhni roti (Will you also eat dal makhani roti)?" Take a look at the viral video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anaira Doomra (@anaira_doomra) The video was captioned as ' Pure Instagram ka sabse cutest content (The cutest content in the whole Instagram).' Undoubtedly, the kid's innocence won millions of hearts online. A user said, ' Mehnat,' followed by a red heart. Another mentioned, 'Only a daughter understands the hard work of a mother.' Someone added, 'A mother is a mother.' 'Salute to such a daughter who understands the hard work of her mother,' read yet another comment. We are also delighted with the little one's love for her mother.
