Bachchan, who normally delivers the show’s opening monologue standing at centre stage, moved to his seat and explained, “Usually, I do my monologue standing at the centre, but today, I have a knee injury. Yesterday, during the shoot, I slipped and fell and injured my knee.” He added that the injury was not serious but caused “a little bit of difficulty standing up”.
Despite the injury, the veteran actor said he would still stand to host the contestants later in the episode. The audience wished him a speedy recovery.
