Sharing the experience of shooting on the first day, he wrote in his blog, 'First day of the 16th season of KBC .. and nervousness, fear and stress of changes and audience reaction, all this increased the heartbeat. Heart was beating fast .. the day is over, sleep is gone .. it's been a long time .. and now I am just thinking of sleeping early because the rhythm of time says so.'
