Marking this special occasion, Amitabh, who has been the face of the show since its beginning, shared an emotional message.

Bachchan also took to his blog to speak about how the day began like any other, and he had no idea it was such a big milestone until the team informed him.

"On July 3, 2000. the very first broadcast of KBC took place. goodness 25 years. just went by. Kuch pata hi nahi chala, aur 25 varsh, saal guzar gaye (Didn't even realise, and 25 years just went by), read his blog post.

KBC started as the Indian version of the British show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It was also Amitabh Bachchan's first TV appearance and gave new life to his career.

Over the years, KBC became more than just a quiz show. With touching stories from contestants and Bachchan's famous line "lock kiya jaye," the show became a part of people's lives. (ANI)
