Laloo Prasad Yadav in SRK's Paanchvi Pass...

Shahrukh Khan has some very special guests lined up to attend the concluding episode of his Paanchvi class. Alongside co-actor Priyanka Chopra and her beau, Harman Baweja, SRK has the Railways Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav to take a stab at some of the paanchvi class ke sawaal.

Laloo Prasad Yadav was his usual witty self as he gave answers spontaneously even during the mock rehearsals. Not only that, the minister was quite confident about himself and claimed that he would win up to Rs. 1 crore on the show without any help and this is exactly what he won on the show. “The winning amount will be donated to the Railway Welfare and Relief Fund. This organization provides money to the needy, women in distress, and to people suffering due to all kinds of natural calamities like earthquakes, tsunamis etc", says Laloo. With a busy schedule, Laloo does not get much time to watch the show but was full of praise when asked his opinion as he says, “It is a very good initiative taken by STAR Plus and Shahrukh Khan. The show is very informative and encourages today’s kids to study more.”
Talking about his school days, the minister nostalgically says, “There is a big difference in today’s schools and the olden ones. When we made any mistakes, the teachers punished us, pulling our ears. We worked at the teachers’ houses doing odd jobs for them.” Commenting on today’s generation, Laloo states, “Today’s kids are very smart. I don’t know how to operate a mobile phone or a computer, but nowadays you see small kids using these contraptions with ease. They get a lot of guidelines from their school and teachers.”Stressing on the importance of education in our country, Laloo opines, “The standard of education has improved to a great extent. A lot of stress needs to be given to education in the primary classes, as this is the base for further education. However, most importantly, the women of our country need to be educated. The future of our country depends on our women.”

Speaking about having Laloo on the show, the host SRK says, “I am actually quite happy to have him here on the show. Frankly, I am quite surprised to see him answering the questions with so much of ease and élan, as before entering, he was just telling how nervous he is and he doesn’t know if he will be able to answer any questions. I, for one, adore his sense of humor and am a great fan of his.” To which Lalooji, in his usual witty humour, promptly replied, “It is his greatness that he compliments me so, but if he is my fan then I am his air conditioner.”

The other two contestants on the show Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja won an amount of 50 lacs that will be donated to charity too. The episode is expected to go on air on the 20^th of July.
