KBC News - SRK on a gifting spree!

SRK and Hyundai gift Santro cars to FFF contestants.

First it was watches. Then it was autographed cricket bats. And now it's cars. It sure looks like Shah Rukh is taking the KBC tag line – ek sawaal aapki zindagi badal sakta hain - to the limit. Last night Shah Rukh Khan, along with Hyundai motors gifted the Fastest Finger First contestants Santro cars – a first ever on Indian television.

Let's hear the explanation behind it directly from the man of the day. "Many a times the entire team sits and discusses that the FFF contestants are all quite capable as they have made it through lakhs and millions of people and made it up to here. And sometimes a day goes by where they don't even get introduced on the show. And you feel bad for them. Its just one question that separates you on that day."

"So Hyundai Santro decided that they would do something special for them. And I think it's quite large hearted of them to do that. They decided that they would give a car to every FFF contestant," explains Shah Rukh.

"This is actually a way of celebrating the spirit of the nine or ten FFF contestants who don't make it on the Hot Seat. So all the hundreds of them who haven't made it... we decided to sort of celebrate that and salute them. And so we said 'ok in this one episode we will give each of them a Santro car' which I think is something that has never been done before on Indian television. So it's a big thing!" says an excited Khan.
