Not Amitabh Bachchan, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ to be hosted by an actress

As the quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' is all set to return in the next two months, rumour mills were abuzz with the reports of Ranbir Kapoor being signed on as the host of the show. This development came to light as Amitabh Bachchan's contract with the show was over.

However, a leading tabloid now reports that the format of the show is undergoing a major change. This season of the show will not be hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, but by an actress. The tabloid reveals that the producers have approached Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, both as the new host of the show.

A source close to the daily revealed, "Mr Bachchan’s daughter-in-law Aishwarya is among those who has been approached to take over as quiz master for season nine. The channel is in talks with both Madhuri and Aishwarya."

The source further adds that this new development in the show format is an attempt to want to bring some novelty to the familiar format. 'KBC' has never before been hosted by a female celebrity, and hence the change will surely create a buzz!
