The fifth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati came to an end last night, with the promise that it would be back soon.
The season captured many smiles, many tears, many star-struck fans and many happy winners. And host Amitabh Bachchan sparkled through it all.
We look back at some of the show's great moments.
We start with contestant Yusuf Mallu, who is wheelchair-bound because of a spine injury. As he told his story on the hot seat, even he could not contain his tears. Since he is paralysed and has lost the use of his hands, Amitabh went up to him and wiped his tears.
Yusuf left the show with Rs 12.5 lakh.
