Amitabh Bachchan appeared in a different manner on the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. Instead of beginning the show by standing at the center of the stage and greeting the audience, the 83-year-old actor started the episode seated in his host’s chair. It was later revealed that he had injured his left knee after slipping during a shoot.

According to an NDTV report, Bachchan suddenly slipped while shooting the previous day, injuring his left knee. Because of the injury, he had some difficulty standing upright and therefore began his opening monologue while seated.

Bachchan usually starts every episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati by standing at the center of the stage and entertaining the audience with his iconic opening line. This time, however, he quickly took his seat after coming onto the stage. Seeing him seated in an unusual manner naturally raised concerns among the audience.

To clarify the situation, Bachchan pointed toward his knee and explained that he had been injured after falling during the previous day’s shoot. He also reassured his fans that there was no need to worry and that the injury was not serious.

He said he would still stand and welcome the contestants as usual. His professionalism despite the injury drew applause from those present on the set, who wished the veteran actor a speedy recovery.
