When Shah Rukh Khan was named as the new host for KBC, women all around the world were sighing with pleasure. From teenage women to married housewives, everyone wants to get onto the sets just so they can hug and speak to King Khan. Women were turning green with envy when Guggi received not one but two massages during his time on the hot seat. And on Thursday, when Vasu from Delhi, proposed to SRK she wasn't the first and definitely not the last either!
Vasu spoke to KBClive about her experience on the hot seat across SRK. "He was so good to me. It feels like a dream. I not only got to talk to him but to hug him... you know actually touch him! And then when he said those dialogues to me… ohhhh…. I feel so good! And I know he has a beautiful marriage with Gauri and I am happy for him but I just had to tell him that I wanted to marry him too. I just like him so much!"
"When he was saying that dialogue from DDLJ – which is my favourite movie - I'm telling you my heart felt like it was going to burst… it was crazy...and I don't think I can ever believe it happened to me!" says Vasu who is over-the-moon after meeting Khan.
Also present on the seats on Thursday were students from Symbiosis Institute, Pune who were as ecstatic even if they weren't SRK's contestants. As soon as they saw their star get on stage the applause and cat calls were enough to make even Khan blush!
Picture this – Shah Rukh gets on stage to start the show and comes face to face with a bevy of screaming women ranging from 15 to 50 years! One young girl yells out 'I love you SRK!' while the second one says 'Marry me Shah Rukh!' and the third one who doesn't want to be left out decides she's going to hug him real tight at the end of it when he takes the customary photographs with his contestants and audience members.
Slowly but surely one thing has definitely become clear to the crew on the sets that once the cameras stop rolling the KBC set becomes incidental and it's just SRK with his fans. And thereon he has eyes for them and they have eyes only for him.
