Another show of his — Sab Kuch Ho Sakta Hai (SAB TV) along with friend, Suresh Menon rounded up 200 episodes.
Super Sale winners
Khan asserts that doing Super Sale was no piece of cake. "It has been one of my most challenging, at the same time rewarding experiences. Just like my other shows, Super Sale, too, doesn't have a definite script; everything is impromptu. I have never been a slave to a script, unless I am acting in a film."
Aftab Shivdasani, Sajid Khan, Koena Mitra and Sohail Khan
The 100th episode winner was Aftab Shivdasani, while Sohail Khan and Koena Mitra went home empty-handed.
About Ajit's wife
Recalling a funny incident that happened on the sets he said, "There was this guy named Ajit who won a Ford Ikon and a cash prize of four lakhs.
Over a period of time, I became really good friends with him. Knowing my love to crack jokes on the show, he kept asking me not to mention anything about his marital status or spin any one-liners around that. His wife apparently was very possessive of him.
The day he won the prize, in good humor, I mentioned how good-looking women would swarm him, now that he's famous and loaded. However, little did I know that his wife too was on the set. After seeing her, Ajit panicked and was caught in a spot for quite some time. Today he's a good friend and we joke about it every time we meet."
Celeb friends
Apart from having regular people on Super Sale, Sajid also invites his celebrity friends to join him on the game show. Sanjay Kapoor, Arbaaz Khan, and Chunky Pandey with their wives, were part the Diwali episode, "They all are really intelligent people. In fact many of my friends who played the game surprised me with their knowledge."
Complimenting Suresh Menon as one of the few people who make him laugh, Sajid said, "Working with him on Sab Kuch Ho Sakta Hai is pure fun. He is genuinely funny and we have an amazing time."
Host aur dost
When asked about his plans for 2006, he said, "I am working on my film script, but it needs more time and attention. Once I get some time off these shows, I will concentrate on the film. Besides that I am also hosting the Screen Awards this month. This time I will really make people laugh, I promise."
Doesn't the actor come under the line of fire from his friends for taking their case through his comedy? "People ask me about my one-liners on Adnan Sami, but little do they know that he's a great friend, and cracks better jokes on me when he's around. Also I know where to draw the line, so I avoid targeting their personal life. The key is to have fun and invite others to have fun as well."
