"Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC) turns fourteen this year and so does Amitabh Bachchan's association with the popular game show. The Bollywood megastar finds the longevity "alluring".

"KBC an association of 14 years and its longevity still alluring," the 71-year-old tweeted.

It was in the year 2000 that Big B associated himself with KBC, which also marked his foray into the world of television. Not only was the show hugely successful, it widened Big B's reach, thanks to his demeanour and humility.

KBC, the Indian version of internationally popular show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", is currently in its eighth season and is aired on Sony Entertainment Television.

Celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Rani Mukerji have already made their appearances in the ongoing season.
