Amitabh Bachchan has been giving fans update on his show through his blog. Last week he wrote, “The rehearse for the season of KBC begun and the tech now being put in place , which shall begin its recordings in a few , for the broadcast in fewer .. restrictions of the virus will be in place with some laxity I believe .. which I gather may be somewhat , to somewhat .. whatever that means …” He also said, “so .. the grind of KBC begins .. on to set for mocks and rehearse …”

On Tuesday he also informed fans, “Running late for the first day of recording for KBC 13 .. and so regretful .. but simply unavoidable .. so many chores to oversee .. and the body can take this much and no more .. but pushing it , to its extreme to comply and adjust and deliver …”

The actor started hosting the show in 2000, and since then he has been a constant part of the show except for one season. In 2006, actor Shah Rukh Khan replaced him as a host for the third season of the show.
