'People Must Have Found Him Fake,' Arbaaz Khan On Why Shah Rukh Khan-Hosted KBC 3 Didn't Work
"Agla Prashn aapki computer screen par ye raha"
"Deviyon aur Sajjano, chaliye hum aur aap mil kar khelte hain?Kaun Banega Crorepati"
"Computer Ji, iss jawab ko lock kiya jaye."
"Afsos ye galat jawab."
When you read these iconic lines, Amitabh Bachchan from KBC comes to your mind. These became iconic because of Big B, but did you know that it was also a game-changer for his career??
The man was under bankruptcy when he bagged this show. Many advised him against working on TV, but Bachchan went ahead with this show and revived his career. We cannot imagine anyone else hosting the show other than Big B, just like how Salman Khan is the best fit for Bigg Boss. The audiences wouldn't like to change the host, or would we???
Arbaaz Khan thinks Shah Rukh Khan couldn't pull off TV shows like Salman and Bachchan did.?
Talking about Shah Rukh Khan's stint on TV when he hosted KBC season 3, he told Free Press Journal, "I think he couldn¡¯t bring niceness and naturalism to the small screen."?
Arbaaz says people must have found SRK fake.
"People must have found him fake. There were two people. At the end of the day, you can't be fake in front of the television or you have to be very smart like Amitabh Bachchan. He knows his audience but Shah Rukh Khan couldn¡¯t do it."
Earlier, speaking to The Indian Express, showrunner Siddharth Basu said people compared SRK with Big B and that is what didn't work for the superstar.?
"What didn¡¯t work with SRK was the comparison with AB. I think Shah Rukh did KBC in his own way with charm and wit, and as far as I know, it garnered good ratings. We have done three shows with SRK, and I believe he is one of the most natural TV hosts who can think on his feet. But let¡¯s face it, Amitabh will always be the ABC of KBC, and on this show, those are very big shoes to fill."
