When AB did not have money
Amitabh Bachchan made a confession on his blog: he didn't have money or films before KBC happened to him. He recalls his journey.



Ten years ago in the year 2000, when the entire world was celebrating the new century, I was celebrating my disastrous fortune. There were no films, no money, no company, a million legal cases against and the tax authorities had put notice of recovery on my home,' he wrote.

'An offer for television changed all that when I agreed to anchor 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' much against all the advice and resentment from friends family and advisers. Taken to the United Kingdom at the Elstree Studios where 'Millionaire' was being recorded, I observed the elan and grace of the show and the immense production values that it incorporated. If they could give me this in India I would readily agree. They did, I agreed and KBC took its initial steps. It soon became apparent that it was going to be big and prosperous. I merely sat back and played the game as best it could be played. Before long I was out of the financial crisis and signing on an almost 2 year deal with the channel that was carrying it,' he recalled fondly.

All is going well for Mr. Bachchan now. The fourth season of KBC will launch on 11 October (2010). ABCL's Paa was a critical and commercial hit. KBC pulled him out of his financial crisis and he carved a new success story, unlike any other.
