Article:Hasna zaroori hain---Funny

E ntering its 11th round this week- end, Antakshari –The Great Chal- lenge (Star One) kicked off with the theme Hasna Zaroori Hai. Host Annu Kapoor had opened Fri- day's episode singing Saj gayi gali with five transvestites. It had Sudesh Bhon- sle as the special celebrity guest. Yester- day, Neha Bhasin was the special guest. Tonight stand-up comedian, Ehsaan Qureshi, will enthrall viewers with his trademark style. Says he, "It was a great feeling to share the platform with Annu Kapoor. He is the pehchan (identity) of Antakshri. Despite being the host of the show, he gave me a chance to speak at length. That is some- thing not many anchors allow." Qureshi composed some impromptu verses on the participating couples (East Ki Aan has the husband-wife team, San- jay and Soma Singha and North ki Shaan has brothers Sushant and Sukant Rolstan) and put them at ease. They bat- tled for the Rs 1 lakh prize and the chance to enter the semi-finals. On his comic style, Qureshi says, "It's not easy to make people laugh. I believe in tackling social issues in a jovial manner and make the viewers think about then." Playing rounds like Lage raho, Hum bhi hain josh mein, Bhagam bhag and the dhun round Jo jeeta wohi sikandar, the show ends with East Ki Aan being declared the winners.
