Is SRK wasted on Zor Ka Jhatka?

A still from 'Zor Ka Jhatka'
With SRK not present 'on the sets' as host in Argentina and just merely restricted to giving suggestive commentary, is he wasted on the show?

Shah Rukh Khan made his comeback on the small screen with ' Zor Ka Jhatka ' last night and while there were huge expectations from the show, many were disappointed with SRK's antics. While people were looking forward to his tongue-in-cheek wit in the commentary for participants struggling to overcome hurdles on a path, many were of the opinion that his narration was very down-market and vulgar.

Jyoti Gulati Chakravati who works in big corporate says, "SRK's pelvic thrusts, the big ball theory and GPL acronyms implying its the grand pichwaade pe laat, all on Prime time television was reason enough to show the extent to which the TV channel can stoop to increase TRPs. King Khan has spoiled his repute flaunting crass humor coz according to me there is a thin line between classy humour and SRK's impudence. Watch John Henson and John Anderson in American Wipeout and we would be saying big balls to Zor Ka Jhatka !"

Aliyaah Mehdi who runs a boutique says, "I found SRK funny 10% and I found him irritating and boring 90%. His entire attempt at being funny looked unnatural. And clearly, whatever he was saying was scripted. I am sure if he was allowed to just be himself and host it the way he wants, he would have come up with a better act. With what he did yesterday, I think he was completely wasted. You really don't need an SRK to host something like Zor Ka Jhatka!"

Shah Rukh Khan's presence on the show doesn't make sense to many because he is neither the 'on the sets' host in Argentina where the live action is happening and his physical presence is not required in the studio if he is merely giving commentary. "I think he could have been utilized much better. They are wasting his immense potential", feels college-going Neeta Asopa.

Dipali who works for a fashion magazine says, "I didn't find him funny at all. Big Balls to him for wasting my time!" However there are ardent fans of Shah Rukh like Priyanka who say, " Zor Ka Jhatka is good time pass. SRK and his 'big balls' obsessed narration is quite funny. I ditched Madhuri for SRK!". Others feel it's still too early to write-off Shah Rukh Khan at this moment.

Let's see if Shah Rukh Khan's humour improves over the period and whether he is put to better use on the show that simply adding face value.

nah! i loved him in kya aap paanchi pass se tez hain ..... He had such an amazing rapport with the kids ...... Just the right mix of humour and naughtiness ...... but zor ka jhatka is frankly a complete waste of time ......... and srk is completely wasted in the show ......... i don't think this show required a "star" at all

Saw JKJ for few minutes today, mazaa nahi aaya bilkul. The fact that SRK is only commenting from the studio looking at the video is a HUGE letdown...it is like dubbing the entire show. He should have been there IN PERSON.

JKJ is based on an old Japanese TV Game Show called Takeshi's Castle. It is aired on Pogo channel these days, TsC on the other hand is such a laugh riot. Shayad isiliye ki usme "aam janta" ke members hote hain, upar se Javed Jafri ki hilarious Hindi commentary. 😆

I still do...roz aata hai show I think. I love Javed's hilarious Hindi commentary....the show itself is such a fun show. 😆

Iske muqable mein JKJ looks so sterile....artificial...without life.

With anything related to SRK there is always a lot of confusion and hysteria.. and lot of uthal pathal.. around.. it!! After following him for ages.. i think he just doesn't give a damn.. i don't think after paanchvi paas and not the best response of KBC.. anyone would have given him a really good show to host.. He is just in it for the money.. his brand is overexposed.. and he works round the clock like a machine... there are no emotions left in the guy.. he is just over exhausting himself.. be it dancing at weddings, reality shows, award shows.. running a IPL team.. he is doing too many things.. he cares more about quantity rather than quality.. about the show.. the trips and falls are funny.. and SRK is just being SRK.. but now that he is overexposed.. people are getting tired of him.
