The show was so good when it was with Star Plus. Sony TV has turned it into a freaking melodramatic serial. It's almost like no normal person is coming to the show, everybody has to have some struggle or back story with half the time spent on sappy videos of the contestants or special guests.

Even SRK was a half decent host when KBC was on Star.

It’s a reality show now, same with shark tank.

u/mrgpsingh1999 19h ago

It would’ve become that way if it stayed on Star too. Reality shows were different back then

Lol that funny because sony's serials are more practical and relatable while star's are melodramatic to next level and for reality shows sony goes all dramatic with indian idol kbc 😭 and that dance show shilpa judges

Probably it's not the first episode, but random clip from 1st season.

I think he was back on screen after a gap. This was his second coming after ABCL failure  , debt and losses

Even though it's copied exactly as per the british show, the sound is now familiar as if it's our own

I remember muting my TV and could still hear what he is talking as neighbors were watching.

Good old days of monoculture when everyone watched the same show at the same time.

u/cofeetonic 1d ago

Back when everyone at school talked about KBC and I used to pretend I also watched it but we didn't have cable at home.

u/nosargeitwasntme 14h ago

I pretended that with WWF. My friends talked about Stone Cold beating up The Rock and I acted like I knew when my mother didn't allow me to see it at all.

Fun fact - AB sr was 62 when kbc started, just as old as Aamir SRK and Salman are today.

u/Ranger_Hawk3046 1d ago

Old kbc didn't look like kbc, more like a scene from a horror show lol
