Amitab And Shah Ruk in KBC

Life Beyond
Amithab Bachchan


Amitabh is amitabh and shahrukh is
shahrukh ,said one wise old lady , interiviewed on the Nth channel about the
relative merits of Big B and Shahrukh in the new Kaun Banega Crorepati. And who
was it who said.''Comparisons are odious''? It dose not really matter. But the
hype surrounding the launch of the new KBC took up much more time on the small
screen than the show itself . Actually, both the above quotes are true. Itwas
obvious that the producers were intent on giving a new, youthful look to the
show , and Shahrukh exuberntly into the act. He is always jumpy, even in real
life and in interviews, and this proved a foil to Big B's sedate graciousness
and sophisticated humour. A slight change of language, freeze for lock kar diya
jaye and a hug instead of ''I quit'' added the minor changes of
detail.



Shaharukh went a trifle too far, perhaps, when he
messaged the neck of the nervous contestant and gave a bear hug to many
departing contestants , but since the audience lapped it up who are we to
complain ? Bollywood seems solidly behind shahrukh and so were the majority of
viewers inteviewed , perticularly the aam log
