We value that and work towards it," he said.<br /><br />"Life is filled with hardship and struggle and its vagaries, but life is beautiful too. One needs to celebrate that as well, and to celebrate those that make it possible for life to be beautiful," he said.</p>.<p><br />It was "Kaun Banega Crorepati" that resurrected the career of Bachchan and the megastar thinks television as a medium in recent times has evolved a lot. <br /><br />"Television is a powerful medium. It impresses, it forms opinion, it informs and it has the capacity to build on its information too. It has a massive reach particularly in our country which boasts of approximately 800 channels," he said.<br /><br />"KBC was and is an example of how it could change an individuals life. A life changing experience for most humans is a once in a lifetime experience and KBC fulfilled that impression. This apart from its intrinsic quality of providing essential knowledge," he added.</p>
