First ever KBC episode ❤️ Dated 3rd July 2000. Channel: STAR PLUS

9 pm and this music would be easily heard across all apartments. At times this music was our cue to rush home for dinner after late evening play. Parents have judges us on our ability to answer questions with the Participant on screen.

Hahahah yess. Immensely contributed to the discourse

Meri pados wali aunty ki beti register me question note Kara Karti thi kbc hame lagta tha Kitna padhti hai baad me Bhaag ke shadi kar li

I wasn't ready for that end 😭

We were too not ready to accept this truth 😭

Harshvardhan

Iconic.

Those were best days

Absolutelyy ❤️ What a lovely era.

When TV meant something!

Proper family ritual 💯

“9 baj gaye kya”🫶 we used to take this show so seriously lol

Actually 😂 Used to be a proper ritual

My parents looking at me after every question

Always 😂😂

Har jgh ek h baat hoti thi..9 baj gae kya Kya time tha hum copy m likhte the question and uske answer...

Crazy times ❤️

The intro is pretty good for 2000

Ikr! It was a banger one ❤️🤌

@Subh_Subh_ Whole country used to come to a standstill between 9 to 10 PM in those days!!! I remember there was a news report where theatre owners were concerned that no one was coming for night shows because of KBC.

@Subh_Subh_ Yes, insane craze.

Kbc was real & unscripted back then What times

Best version

After Ramayan / Mahabharat during DD days this was the only show which was universally watched by all Indian TV viewers bringing curfew like situation on roads..

Yes. Loved across the country

Don't think this was the first. The intro won't be, 'Ek baar phir haazir hoon'.

Ahhh, when people used to invest their time on KBC unlike today. It was a cultural phenomenon. I'm very lucky to witness those days.

It really was. Crazy buzz

Why did he say "Ek baar phir haazir hu"?🤔

Man bacchan been old for so long

Unreal consistency over the years

Srk was the best host. You can argue with me.

To each to his own 😂 Bachchan Saab imo is the best ever Indian reality TV host

Okay bhai

Og tune

I know! So good

First toh nahi ho sakta ek baar phir bol rahe hain

initial waala hi hoga imo. star had changed the channel logo after the first few episodes.

26 saal mein Amit ji ka ek baal bhi nahi badla

Kaafi consistent 😂❤️

🤣

Abhi toh BC melodramatic bhang bhisda ban gaya hai yeh show.

Haan woh TRP ke liye bakloli karni padti hain

Vaguely remember its promos, @SrBachchan writing 1 on a board and then appending zero one by one and stopping after 7 zeroes.

@SrBachchan Yesss!

Best days

KBC was amazing when it was with Star. Sony didn't do justice to it. Turned into a reality tv.

Agreed. It was a bit organic in its approach during the Star days.

I think #KBC would never be like the same if it's not Bachchan. It has tried and tested others before. It doesn't work.

True. He was tailor-made for this

Tab drama nahi hua karta tha

They used to go with the normal format

Nostalgic

Yesss! Good old days ❤️

He said "ek baar phir hazir hun" ... I think it's not the first one ... Or which show was he doing before this 🤔

Simplicity

Second that

Debuted the very next day of my Birthday.

That's greatttt

Also, Abhishek Bachchan had debuted just 3 days before the premier of KBC on 30th June 2000.

Kaun... BC

What a downfall.

He said ek baar fir haazir hu so its not the first epi

Where can I get full video of this episode

YT

Plz share link

The first ever contestant won 80000 I guess

Nostalgia ❤️

Something that can bring a smile ❤️

Yes 😊
