Big B Amitabh Bachchan who is hosting the KBC show, shared his ordeal and shocking details about his damaged liver.

He said "In 1982, during the accident, I needed a lot of blood, nearly 200 people donated, and there were 60 bottles. And amongst them was one person who was carrying the Hepatitis B virus, which wasn't detected."

He continued "This entered my body. This happened in 1982. And in 2005, during a general investigation, it was detected. 75 per cent of my liver has been destroyed. Toh abhi main jeewith hoon 25 per cent live pe (Now, I'm alive on 25 per cent liver),"

He shared  “In 2000, I was detected with TB and went through a very rigorous treatment for almost a year. I contracted TB on the day I was going to start the TV show KBC. It was a TB of the spine. It’s very uncomfortable. You cannot sit or lie down. Most of the time, I was on 8-10 painkillers a day just to survive the period when I was anchoring the game show.”

He continued “Many people ask me why I contribute my services to a medical cause. I have had a complicated medical history. One of the reasons I took up TB is because I am a TB survivor. The reason I disclosed is that I felt that the word survivor is somehow a very powerful word. When I say I am a TB survivor, it seems like I survived a plane crash or a boat sinking. If you survive that, it lends a lot of power and strength to what you are saying deeper,”
