well i dunno if this show is telecasted anymore but i found another article bout our dear amit on the net. he looks so young and sweet in this pic, he was 21 wen he joined!!!!😆:::

Home Theatre, the musical show on etc, is celebrating its 25th episode on 11 June at 7:30 pm with cine stars joining the Veejays.

Targeting the youth and the young at heart, the show aims to provide the viewers with latest information, gossips, previews and reviews of latest Hindi films, says an official release.

Hosted by veejay Amit Khanna and Pracchi Mehta, the show very casually hands out trivia about films and actors before playing the latest songs. They compliment the idea of 'family viewing day' and so the set resembles a living room/TV viewing room of an urban couple, with the screen appearing like a Home Theatre, says the release.

Shah Rukh talks about 'Swades' on 'Home Theatre'
By Abid 2004 Bollyvista.com


Home Theatre on the ETC channel is completing its Seventy Fifth Episode and is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee anniversary in style with Shahrukh Khan. In this benchmark show, which talks about information, gossips, previews and reviews of latest Hindi films, Shahrukh Khan discusses things about himself, his films and his routines, with the Veejay of Home Theatre Amit Khanna while Veejay Pracchi is left in suspense as to the identity of the guest.

So catch Shahrukh Khan talking about his life and career philosophically. "I never carry any money or credit card in my pocket because you need to change into costume all the time. So you tend to leave them and loose them. The only accessory I carry is my cell-phone and this remains in my hand," he says.

ETC Punjabi goes Hindi with Govinda's nephew and a Thums Up babe in a love triangle with SRK.

BOTH veejays seem squeamish about drinking as we sit down for a session at Shooters, Bandra's spanking new shot haven. By the end of the night, they're rocking harder than anyone on the floor.

The two stars of ETC Music's new Bollywood show, Home Theatre, have oodles of personality. Amit Khanna doesn't trumpet the fact that he's Govinda's nephew, but the signs are unmistakable: the way he jumps to his feet and starts dancing on a whim; or the silly faces he's so adept at making, while digging into the superb paneer tikkas. His on-screen crush, Pracchi Mehta, is foxy funny, and an ex-Worldspace radio jockey.

The show has the two rookie veejays presenting the freshest music videos and film clips, laced with trivia, gossip and Bollywood reviews. There's also a healthy dose of banter, typified by this exchange: ''I never noticed her in college (they both studied at Mithibai), but she knew who I was,'' he says with a wink.

''That's because he used to stand outside all the time and look filmi,'' says Pracchi, who fantasises about Shah Rukh Khan because he's ''the perfect guy to take home''.

Shooters, which has made regulars of Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff, has a selection of over sixty shots, including a divine cherry brandy concoction. We consume lamb chops, crispy chicken and a few paneer selections. All are excellent!

The duo have a wealth of advertising experience:

Pracchi co-starred in a Thums Up commercial with Salman Khan, on whom she had a huge crush at the time.

''I remember going all the way to Mehboob Studio in the monsoon just because I heard that Salman was shooting there. But when we met on the sets, he was really distracted.

I felt terrible, but got over him quickly,'' says the 24-year-old who has lived in Navy bases across the country, seen in 17 commercials so far, including spots for Hero Honda Passion and Britannia Bread, and is due to star in an unreleased Om Chaturvedi music video. ''I love this show because I'm allowed to be myself, 125 per cent; something I can't do in real life,'' says the 23-year-old livewire Amit, who has big dreams to follow in hmother's brother's footsteps.

''He (Govinda) asks me in detail about my career when we meet; but he hasn't watched a single ad of mine,'' he says, downing B-53, a flaming mixture of Kalhua, Bailey's and cointreau.
