As a person both have different personality and they could more entertain the people. The season of KBC 3 will be end and Shah Rukh Khan will shoot the last episode on Wednesday. In his own words he will miss the KBC set and he also thinks that it will add more experience in his acting career.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Interview:

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said the experience of hosting television show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) will make him a better actor.

Talking to reporters recently on the sets of the game show at Film City in suburban Mumbai, SRK said he was feeling bad that the show is coming to an end.

The 52-episode season will end on April 20 and the actor will shoot the last episode on Wednesday. ”There will be a sense of emptiness with me when the show ends. Earlier, I felt 52 episodes would be too long and now I am feeling that the season is coming to an end so soon,” SRK added.

”I will miss the fear of coming to KBC sets,” the King Khan added.

In this show Shah Rukh Khan entertained people and children. The end of the show he always left massage for everyone, especially for children. He always wanted to entertain the people and he has done it best way.

Second season will be start with Shah Rukh in the end of this year or in the beginning of 2008. It’s depending with his dates.

It was Amitabh Bachchan who made the game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” (KBC) extremely popular with his smartness and charisma. Amitabh has become old and now it is the turn of Shahrukh Khan to show his magic in the hot seat of KBC as the host. It seems that Shahrukh Khan has so far failed to rise to the occasion and Amitabh was much better than him.

IHT reported:

“Kaun Banega Crorepati” — based on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” — was scrapped in January last year following film legend Bachchan’s illness, but was revived last week with 41-year-old Khan at the helm.

The program usually draws millions of viewers with huge money tied to advertising sales.

Star Entertainment India television channel restarted the show on Jan. 22, and a random survey shows that audiences have given Khan, one of the biggest Bollywood heartthrobs of the past decade, the thumbs down, the Hindustan Times reported.

The data compiled by India’s Television Audience Measurement for the first four days showed a television viewership rating, or TVR, of 12.33. Bachchan, 61, had a bigger four-day audience in August 2005 with a 19.75 rating, the daily said.

I agree that Amitabh was a much smarter host than Shahrukh. However, I have to state that when KBC was originally aired, there were not too many cable TV channels. So, millions of people found KBC as the most attractive program. Now, the TV industry is over crowded.

Kaun Banega Crorepati has started in full swing and Shah Rukh is becoming better day by day. Since KBC has been a very successful show, many big companies competed for the sponsorship. The total sponsor of the show is worth Rs 100-130 crore. Planet Bollywood reports:
