Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has something special up his sleeve for Valentine's Day tomorrow.

TV channel Star Plus will air a special two-hour episode of its game show, 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', featuring Bollywood personalities on Valentine's Day.

To be aired on February 14, the three pairs of participants include the sizzling couple, Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan , the brother-sister duo of Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar and SRK's favourite buddies Farah Khan and Karan Johar .

The three celeb-pairs will donate all their winnings (prize money) to various charities/causes.

Arbaaz and Malaika would donate their proceeding to St Anthony's Home for the aged, Zoya and Farhan to Nivra Hakk Welfare and Karan and Farah to the Bal Jeevan Trust, the channel said in a release in Mumbai on Monday.

The Valentine special of the game show will be aired at nine p.m., the release said.

There would also be a special dance performance at the end of the episode by all the celebrities along with the host, the King Khan himself, on the title song of the show, 'Karle Kar Tu Ek Sawaal'.

The show would begin with a special entry of SRK amidst heart-shaped balloons as he will sing to the title track of the film Main Hoon Na .

SRK also showed recently that he is equally at home with Assam's most popular folk dance--Bihu--to mark the new harvest.

SRK's skills at Bihu came to fore when a contestant from Assam at show asked him to shake a leg.

SRK obliged and enthusiastically did some Bihu steps "for the first time".

"I just asked him if he would like to do a few steps of our traditional dance and he readily agreed," said Mridul Gogoi, a businessman who hails from Assam's Dibrugarh district.

"It was a great feeling. He said he danced Bihu for the first time and I was impressed by its steps," Gogoi, who won Rs 3.20 lakhs in the contest said.

Gogoi said the organisers told him SRK danced for the first time on the sets of the show.

"I was really impressed by Shah Rukh's attitude. He was very curious to know about my place. When I said I was from India's easternmost state, bordering Arunachal Pradesh, he wanted to know more about the place.

"He told me that he had been to Arunachal but not Assam."

Gogoi said SRK kept asking the show's main researcher Siddharth Basu about details on Assam.
