Amitabh Bachchan says he once wanted to become an Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer and discussed the idea on *Kaun Banega Crorepati* (KBC) 18. He describes how he considered the civil services path and went on with the thought despite having limited prior knowledge of the field.
Bachchan’s remarks focus on his initial curiosity rather than any official steps taken toward joining the service. In the accounts provided by NDTV, he emphasizes that he was not familiar with how civil services work, and that this lack of familiarity shaped how he approached the idea. The coverage presents it as a personal anecdote shared during the show, rather than a report of plans or applications.
Overall, the outlets agree on the core detail: Bachchan reveals on KBC 18 that he once aspired to be an IFS officer, and he also notes that he did not know much about the civil services domain at the time.
