To them my salutations," Mr Bachchan wrote.

"Thank you dear KBC team for your patience and your efficiency, your detailing and the intelligent outputs in its programming. The coordination and the execution of all that is required and at times not required (haha ehe) that was a little side one with those that I deal with and flush past them in mirth," he added.
