According to Amitabh Bachchan, their home's name, Pratiksha, was given by his father, the eminent author and poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. On his game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, the actor was speaking. The popular quiz show's fourteenth season is currently being hosted by him.

Amitabh discovered that the contestant was accompanied by his sister Pratiksha while introducing him. "Pratiksha is a very beautiful name," the actor continued. Even his father gave their home the name Pratiksha, he continued. "When people ask me why I kept my family name, Pratiksha, I tell them that my father chose it, not me. Consequently, I asked my father, "Why did you keep the name Pratiksha?", He wrote a poem with the line "It is welcome for all, but wait for none" (swagat sabke liye hain par nahi hain kisi ke liye Pratiksha).

Amitabh recently posted a blog entry about his work on KBC 14. He wrote, "The resolve is to promote the game and to draw in greater audiences. And the promo was shot within premises... the most complicated being the control room of KBC with its myriad gadgetry... needs very hard work to bring the show to you and even greater wizardry of electronics."

Amitabh Bachchan most recently appeared in Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra, a movie that has been performing well at the box office. The lead actors in the movie are Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Mouni Roy. Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan are also present. Despite the mixed reviews, the movie had the highest opening weekend global box office receipts. Brahmastra's first week saw its worldwide gross collections surpass $300 crore and those in India reach $200 crore.
