First season of KBC winds up on 28th March on the sets, though the programme will continue to air till mid-April on Star Plus. Best in the TV business, Star India chose Shah Rukh Khan to bring new life to the show, as the KBC format was known to all in the country. So what else could one have done? Undeniably, SRK and the KBC team made the show very very infotaining; his thinking cap, giving away TAG Heuer watches and even Santro cars, made the contestants cherish their KBC experience.
There were inevitable comparisons between King Khan and Big B. Opinions were shared on every possible platform. Some of the contestants even made their fondness for Amitabh very clear at the hot seat. Nonetheless, Shah Rukh Khan took everything in stride. He too had many girlfriends in the audience every day, screaming and shouting all the time. The show producers-Synergy Adlabs, and broadcaster-Star India, both are happy with the TRPs of KBC. After all, it got Star Plus back in the race, not that they were down and out, but yes definitely Zee was giving them a tough competition. The second season will start in October or early next year. Having watched SRK on the sets - I have to mention that he’s an absolute pleasure to watch - quick and witty all the time. Though at times, his comic repartees were considered bit over the top, but one can’t ignore him. Indeed, SRK and KBC changed the lives of many in three months.
