Amitabh Bachchan highlighted the common feelings that have characterised KBC while thanking viewers for their continuous support. He claimed that the audience greeted him warmly each time he returned to the concert and that their tears and laughter reflected his own.

He also acknowledged that the show's continued existence is due to its audience.

Amitabh Bachchan said in the promo, “Sometimes, we live a moment so deeply and get so lost in it that when it reaches its final point, it feels as though it had just begun, and yet it is ending so soon. Everything feels like it happened just yesterday. As I go through these emotions, I am about to begin the last day of this game. Spending one-third of my life, more than one-third of my life, with all of you has been a great fortune for me."

The veteran actor added, “Whenever I have said from my heart that I am coming, you have welcomed me with open arms. When I laughed, you laughed with me, and when my eyes filled with tears, your eyes shed tears too. You have been my companions on this journey, from the beginning to the very end. I can only say this much to you: if you are here, this game exists, and if this game exists, then we exist. Thank you so much."

Amitabh Bachchan's lengthy musical performance was one of the finale's highlights. The actor performed a mix of his well-known songs, including Rang Barse (Silsila), Hori Khele Raghuveera (Baghban), Chalat Musafir (Teesri Kasam), and Mere Angne Mein (Laawaris), for more than thirty minutes.

However, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya Nanda, made a special appearance, and comedian Kiku Sharda brought humour to the occasion.
