Arun Sheshkumar has been directing Kaun Banega Crorepati for seven years. The TRPs are saying it all. Viewers are back, says Arun, talking about the reception to the latest season ofn KBC. For Mr Bachchan, the beauty of KBC is that he gets to meet the common man. He gets to know their stories in their own words, gets their reactions instantly. That's what makes it very special for him. As a result, his energy has increased fourfold over the years. When we take a break of about 6-8 months between seasons, he's looking forward to the next shoot, Arun tells
You've been directing KBC for over half the show's life. How has your life changed since you took on KBC?
I think life has been pretty good. It changed for the better after KBC.It is one of the most professional shows on Indian television in terms of the shooting process. It is up to world standards. It is great to be associated with the show. Every director dreams of being a part of one big show in his life and, for me, that happened with KBC. I had done almost all the properties across non-fiction in Indian television. My parents would ask me, 'When are you going to direct KBC?' It was more like a status symbol within my family and friends' circle. After that day came, there was no looking back. It's a great feeling.
What's your first memory of meeting Amitabh Bachchan for KBC?
