New Delhi. Amitabh Bachchan confirmed that he suffered a minor knee injury while filming the eighteenth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The accident occurred when he slipped during a routine take.
Modified Opening Routine
In the following episode, the veteran presenter broke from his trademark habit of standing at centre stage for the introductory speech. Instead, he chose a chair and addressed the audience from there, explaining that the fresh injury necessitated the change.
