KBC News - SRK: Nice to play host to two

Shah Rukh Khan talks about the joy of playing with Sanjay and Boman.

As KBC fans all over the world enjoyed Sanjay and Boman's presence on the show last week, the host seemed equally pleased as well. Having had no real time for rehearsals or briefing the two stars about the show, Khan feels the spontaneity in the show helped make it extra special for everyone.


Shah Rukh told KBClive that the reason he invited Sanjay and Boman to the show was not because of the popularity of the Munnabhai movies but for the fan following and love that the two enjoy. "The whole idea behind the programme was to get two nice people... two genuine and good people to come down to the show. The theme of the show was 'kar bhala toh ho bhala' and I didn't want to harp on about Munnabhai aspect only because I think both those individuals stand for a career in films much beyond one film or two films – not deriding or taking away from Munnabhai at all. It was a wonderful film and both of them acted very well in it. But I felt we wont get stuck only on that but bring these nice persons to come and talk about nice things like charity, giving."

Khan says he is extremely honoured that Boman, who is currently shooting for his movie Goal in London, flew down to India especially for the show as well as Sanjay, who also took out time from his busy shooting schedule. "These celeb shows are for charity and both of them feel very strongly about their charities. Boman flew down from London just for a day for the show and Sanju cancelled his trip to Khandala for a shoot. And both of them said 'no we'll come here' and they waited for hours and completed the show."

"And I think just their actions speak exactly what we wanted to say in the show – be of a giving nature and share with your fellow humans and there is a lot of beauty and greatness in giving. And that's why Boman and Sanju came on the show!" sums up SRK.
