Kaun Banega Crorepati 7 promo: What is Amitabh Bachchan’s punchline this time?

If you stop learning in life, you will stop tasting victory, says megastar Amitabh Bachchan, in the first promotional trailer of the forthcoming season of popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati

The communication campaign for the show’s new edition is centred around the theme - Seekhna bandh toh jeetna bandh. It will be beamed on the small screen this week.The promo showcases how a certain Mrs Dhingra decides to turn into a wedding planner, and sidelines her learning by saying that what’s the point of learning at her age. What follows is a series of misjudgements in her business, leading to losses. Then she rues: “Kaash kuchh seekh liya hota (wish I would’ve learnt something)”. That’s when Amitabh, the show’s host walks into the frame, urging people to continue learning things in life.

The new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, a widely popular show based on international show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, will go on air on Sony Entertainment Television towards August-end or early September.

The previous seasons of the show focused on different ideologies. In 2010, the show promoted Koi Bhi Sawaal Chota Nahin Hota (no question is insignificant), while the 2011 edition focused on how Koi Bhi Insaan Chota Nahi Hota, which translated to how no person is smaller than another. While KBC 2012 conveyed the message – Sirf Gyaan Hi Aapko Aapka Haq Dilata Hai, telling masses how only knowledge helps you get your rights.

Big B, 70, changed the face of Indian television when he hosted the first season of Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2000. Its season seven now, we wonder if Mr Bachchan will be able to weave the same magic as before. Guess that’s something we’ll have to wait to find out, no?

Cannes 2013: Will Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walk the red carpet with baby Aaradhya?

We hear that the world’s most beautiful mother and B-town diva Ash will walk the red carpet at the French Rivera with daughter Aaradhya. Grandpa Amitabh too will make his ‘grand’ presence felt at the prestigious do, but papa Abhishek will not make it to Cannes this year. Read on to know why…

While most of our B-town folks create shoo-shaa over getting that rare opportunity to fly to the Cannes and soak in its enviable glory, there’s one diva who has been so regular at the prestigious film festival that she knows the glamorous locale like her own backyard. And that name is – no prizes for guessing – none other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! The Bachchan bahu has been basking in the media glare all these years at the international fanfare.

This year too, we hear, Ash will attend the 66th Cannes International Film Festival. And guess what! Even her angelic daughter – baby Aaradhya Bachchan – will accompany her gorgeous mom at the red carpet. Now, isn’t that exciting?

What is not so-exciting though is the fact that papa Abhishek Bachchan will not be seen at the event this year, since he will be busy shooting for his forthcoming action movie Dhoom: 3. Sigh! But making up for AB Junior’s absence will be the grand daddy (or shall we say the adorable grandpa) of B-town, Amitabh Bachchan. Big B is already in the news in the global media for his larger than life presence in Baz Luhrmann’s much-talked about movie The Great Gatsby. And now the 70-year-old megastar is gearing up to rock the Cannes with granddaughter Aaradhya in toe!
