Artcle~Contestant on set was hospitalized

A contestant is taken to hospital as he complained of chest pains.

KBC with Shah Rukh Khan is always fun and jovial. He jokes and the contestants get comfortable and forget all about the reason why they are there in the first place. But often for some the situation does become too much. Mr. Dutta, a contestant on the show, complained of chest pains during a recording recently and had to be taken to hospital.

A co-ordinator tells us what happened. "Mr. Dutta complained that he was feeling unwell. The thing was he hadn't eaten anything all day although food is provided for everyone on the sets. Given that plus the situation here... I mean... playing the game for such high amounts, being on TV meeting Khan... sometimes it does become too much for people. After the recording we gave him some medication but he didn't feel better and since he was complaining of chest pain we didn't want to take any chance and we sent him to a hospital in the ambulance. However there was nothing to worry about as we later came to know that it was plain acidity", she says.

Although in Mr. Dutta's case it was nothing serious, it was good to see medical help in the form of a doctor, nurses and ambulance always present on the KBC set.
