The senior actor who frequently keeps a check on his healthy by getting himself testes, in an interview with PTI revealed that it was during the reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati that he was diagnosed with tuberculosis of the spine in 2000. He said, "It's very uncomfortable. You cannot sit or lie down. Most of the time, I was on 8-10 pain killers a day just to survive the period when I was anchoring the game show." Amitabh Bachchan who considers himself a Tuberculosis survivor, further said, "The reason I disclosed is that I felt that the word 'survivor' is somehow is a very powerful word. When I say I am a TB survivor, it seems like I survived a plane crash or boat sinking. If you survive that, it lends a lot of power and strength to what you are saying. It's like saying that I have survived it because I went through a process."
