November 25, 2021: The 1000th episode of the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati has been not just special for the makers of the show but also for its superstar host Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan shared a photo of himself with Shweta and Navya from the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 and wrote: "Daughters are the best."

Keeping the request of the makers of the show, Big B had his daughter Shweta and grand daughter Navya Naveli as contestants on the hot seat.

In his blog on Thursday morning, Big B shared some pictures of Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Navya Naveli from the 1000th episode shoot and wrote about "an evening of great pride for the a father and a grandfather."

His blog read: "In the early hours of the morning, I rise and thoughts run to the incompleteness of the missive that reaches over 5000, and the left-over of the night before at work, comes chasing the mind, of having completed the thousandth KBC episode, yes 1000 episodes since its introduction to the World of Television in the year of our making 2000."

He added: "So yes, the 1000th episode on the platform of Kaun Banega Crorepati, was given its due importance and the request by the Channel to bring in the family on that revered and feared Hot Seat, was accepted. And there we were, as per the pictures in the previous. A delight, to be able to, not just test the ability of the 'contestants', but to give the freedom to express what many have felt has been undisclosed and kept behind closed doors. The banter of the family dining table, the repartee, and most importantly the several causes that the young at this age think about and work for. An evening of great pride for the Father and Grandfather - for Papa and Nana!"
