Amitabh Bachchan reports knee injury after slip during Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 shoot

Amitabh Bachchan, who normally begins Kaun Banega Crorepati standing at the centre of the stage, appeared seated during his opening monologue. The reason was simple. The 83-year-old actor had slipped and fallen during the previous day’s shoot and injured his left knee. He said the injury was not serious, but standing was uncomfortable, so he chose to remain seated for the opening.It is the kind of everyday accident most people would brush off as “just a fall”. But as we get older, the body does not always respond to a fall in the same way. A stumble that might once have ended with a scraped knee can, in later years, result in a fracture, head injury or a longer loss of mobility.And the reason is not simply that older bones are “weak”.

Amitabh Bachchan revealed during 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 18' that he suffered a knee injury while shooting. He explained that he slipped and fell, resulting in some difficulty standing. Despite the injury, he reassured the studio audience that it was not serious and he would still stand to host. In a recent blog post, he also reflected on his relationship with his son Abhishek Bachchan.

Recalling how he got injured, he added, “Yesterday, during the shoot, I slipped and fell and injured my knee.”However, Amitabh assured fans that the injury was not serious. He explained that while he could have stood up to deliver the monologue, he chose to remain seated as he was experiencing “a little bit of difficulty” while standing.
