Following Saif-Preity, Ajay-Kajol, John-Bipasha, Smriti-Sakshi, it's now going to be Lara Dutta-Sania Mirza on KBC 2, hosted by the Big B on Star Plus.

The shoot was conducted on October 29 at 11 am. Lara is holidaying in Kuala Lampur (without Kelly Dorjee, who has gone off to his native place Bhutan) was unavailable for comment.

But her manager, Sanjay Upadhyay confirmed, "Lara and Sania will be a treat to watch. They both hadn't met before, but gelled almost immediately. It is going to be a very interesting episode."

How did it happen?

Says Upadhyay, "I got a call from KBC that they were planning to do some charity for widows of air-force personnel and wanted two contestants who were internationally knowm; they informed me that they had Sania in mind. We loved the concept and there was no looking back."

Who accompanied Lara? "Nobody. She went alone. Backing her in the relatives' seats were the air-force jawans." Who accompanied Sania? "Well, she came with her family. They all wanted to get pictures clicked with Lara and it was real fun," informed Upadhyay.

And how much did they win? One crore like Ajay and Kajol? Or did they goof it up at the 50-lakh mark and crash down to 6,40,000? Upadhyay brushed that off, feigning ignorance, "I really don't know that."

While Lara wore a jeans and a top, Sania wore a salwaar kameez. The Lara-Sania episode is being targetted for November 13.
