'It has been 21 years since the game show began on television. It was launched on television in the year 2000. At that time, we did not know anything about the medium. Everybody I met said that you are going from the big screen to the small screen. It will damage your image,'Mr Bachchan said.
The megastar said that the reason he decided to take up the offer despite many dissuaded him was because of his financial situation at that time since the film offers had dried up.
