The award was first awarded in 2001 to Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan for hosting popular reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Most of the times, the winner is announced out of nominations but sometimes the award is given without nominations. In 2007, 2009 and 2010, the award was awarded with different titles. Only once, in 2012, the award was given separately to a male and female personality.
