Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), the show that has become synonymous with Amitabh Bachchan, has come of age - after all, it has been 18 years since Big B first introduced us to his know-it-all 'Computerji' and invited the common man to the hot seat. The megastar, however, exudes a childlike glee as he talks about the show that he has hosted for all seasons but one. "Every year, I look forward to this," says Big B, as he gears up to kick off its latest season next week.

At the press conference of KBC at Film City, yesterday, Big B appeared to be comfortably ensconced fielding questions, instead of asking them as he does on the series. Since its inception, the game show has always been shot on floor seven of Film City, which is considered to be its lucky charm. "We shoot two episodes a day. On the rare occasions of there being delays or technical errors, we have to shoot till late night. I always wonder why we cannot have a system where I can spend the night here, instead of going home. The set is so inviting. I enjoy being here."
