Kaun Banega Crorepati 4 | KBC 4 | KBC | Amitabh Bachchan | Sony TV | KBC Game Show | Quiz and Questions

Shah Rukh Khan Monday night strode into the millions of homes as new Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) host and charmed the audiences with his instant wit and warmth.

Proving sceptics wrong, Shah Rukh, clad in a black suit, comfortably stepped into Amitabh Bachchan’s shoes as the anchor of the popular quiz show.

If the first two seasons of KBC were mega hit, with Shah Rukh it’s set to scale new heights of success in its third season.

On day one of the show, he was at his hilarious best.

He said: “I am going to unlock KBC – but before that I would like to answer a few questions. People asked me, ‘Will you speak in Hindi?’ I will talk more, rock youngsters and shock you with my jokes sometimes.

“I was also asked, ‘what kind of coat you will wear?” Whatever you want me to wear I will wear it. I will even wear petticoat,” said Shah Rukh.

First impression is the last impression and Shah Rukh has surely started on the right note. Though his persona is different from that of Amitabh, he has managed to keep the spirit and essence of the quiz show intact.

You can feel the generation gap between the two superstars – Shah Rukh is wittier, livelier and more easy-going with his contestants.
