"I try never to be in a bad mood"

You've finished shooting for the first season of KBC, what are your thoughts right now?

I'm feeling a little bad that the first season is almost over. I'm going to miss it.

Were you apprehensive in the beginning?

As an artist, I always do something for myself and then hope others will like it. That's how I approached KBC also. The initial feedback that I got from the core team was that I was making it too light and funny. Chances were that it could go wrong, but chances were also that it could go right. I decided to give it a shot anyway.

How do you explain the intense speculation on the TRP of the show?

I did get angry when a national newspaper carried a page one story on how the show's TRP is falling. I took it personally but better sense prevailed. I took on the show as a challenge and told myself that I'll do it my way.

Did you learn something about yourself during the show?

I learnt that I could reach the shooting in time. Jokes aside, I always knew that I could pick up things fast but KBC reinforced it. I also realised that I can connect with people and maybe that's why I work as a movie star. It's a nice feeling to know that people don't mind me.

With so much interaction with so many people, do you ever feel that you have to always be in a good mood?

I try never to be in a bad mood. I understand that people who come on the show want to take back a good memory. That way, I'm quite magnanimous. Personally, I'm a recluse and I tell myself that I've to be with people for only six hours. So I try to make the most of it.

What's the best compliment you've got for the show?

I think it's what Siddharth (Basu) said, "That boy is a joy to watch. Even friends like Ashutosh (Gowariker) send me nice messages like, "Shah, it looks like you've been doing this all your life." Last night my son, Aryan told me, "Papa, you know, this show is awesome." When I asked him what he meant by it, he said, "My friends in school tell me that they see your show and that my dad is awesome."

So when Amitabh Bachchan says that "SRK is fine" on the show, how do you interpret the word 'fine'?

It's okay. It's not that important either to me or to him. I'm sure he watches the show but because there are rumours of problems between us, the word 'fine' takes on another meaning. To me, a buzz is more important than a singular reaction.

Is it true that there is soon going to be a biopic on you?

Not at all. The guys at Madame Tussauds want to shoot a documentary on the making of my wax statute. That's all. Anyway, biopics are made on guys who didn't achieve much or who are no longer doing anything.

Do you feel like it's time to sit down and sort it out with Samajwadi party leader, Amar Singh?

I've nothing to sort with anyone. It's just that I don't like people coming outside my house and making my family uncomfortable. I don't deserve it and neither does my family.

Why did you say that you're a "demented Pathan" in a recent interview?

What I meant was that I'm capable of handling 20 people on my own. I can even handle 20,000 people because I'm a Pathan. Like the Rajputs, Pathans are considered warriors. My father was a Pathan who fought for the freedom of my country and I have the same genes. That said, I'm courteous to everyone. It's just that I didn't like certain things said about me. It was said that my wife should apologise. My wife will never apologise to anyone on my account. When I came to Mumbai, I told my friends that whatever work I do in life, I'll never embarass my family.

Shah Rukh Khan winds up KBC with nostalgia and generosity

Shah Rukh closed Kaun Banega Crorepati on a note of nostalgia and surprising generosity, gifting expensive watches and cars!

When Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan agreed to host the superhit Kaun Banega Crorepati Quiz program on the Star Plus channel, there was a mini storm in the media cup. Crazy fans of Amitabh Bachchan – who was the original host of the show – and of SRK held their breath as they perceived the move as the finale chapter of the legendary Bachchan-Khan war of silent disapproval.

In most interviews, the Big B refused to comment on SRK's style or performance and his silence was, to say the least, taken as complete condemnation of SRK's way of handling the super successful quiz show.

At the start of the season, Shah Rukh Khan was smart enough to defer to the Big B lest he came a cropper. He claimed he was asked to host the show two years ago, when Big B opted out because of illness and surgery. "I refused it then, because the show belongs to Mr. Bachchan.

"This time, however, when Star TV approached me I asked them to make sure that Mr. Bachchan definitely did not want to do the show this season. Only when the channel produced a letter to prove that Mr. Bachchan wanted to opt out, I accepted the assignment."

The most attractive part of SRK's anchoring was his wonderful body language and humour!

"Shah Rukh's greatest asset is his body language," say a loyal fan. "Every turn of his dimpled face shows his nature. He is everyone's well-wisher and truly wants all people from every strata of society to do well. "There is apparently not a mean bone in his body. He has no starry airs and talks like the boy next door. Even if this is a put on, his courtesy and compassion are attractive. His repartee is rib tickling and humour, truly funny. He is comfortable with the lingo of the common man and speaks with an appealing sense of equality with everyone. "The secret of his riveting presence is that he enjoys the show hugely and that is obvious in every move of his body. His energy is mind-blowing! By far, he is the top star of Bollywood, and now even Latin Diva Shakira, who performed her signature item 'Hips Don't Lie' in Mumbai recently, has said that she admires him and would love to work with him!"

Super show of generosity at the end of KBC season!

SRK himself believes he had done a good job as a host.

"To begin with, there was a great deal of criticism because audiences missed Mr. Bachchan's voice and style. But I settled down and then the going was good." He says.

"The show is seen by an average of nine million people in India and other countries and I enjoyed every minute of it."

As the show comes to the end of its first season, there is a distinct air of nostalgia in the air. SRK himself is feeling a little sad to take leave of the many contestants and audiences that he has interacted with in the past months.

"They were real people with dreams in their eyes," he said, "It was a welcome change for me. When I make films, I stay on the sets and meet people only from the film industry. But here were people who live real lives out there, and they come from all walks of life."

"People want my advice to improve or set up their businesses!" – says SRK

"I can't believe this," exclaims Shah Rukh Khan, "But KBC participants have been wanting to consult me for their businesses or even start films! They are talking to my office and are sending mails that they have saved the prize amount to devote to this end. I don't mind helping them out with their business plans and will surely meet them after KBC closes for this season.

"At the moment, my plans are to devote the next few months to develop the special effects division of my studio and make it world class! Film technology is going ballistic and we want to make the best facilities available to producers in India."

"My mother did not know that she would produce a joker!"

Evidently, Shah Rukh Khan has been adding new skills to his repertoire. He is an actor, an anchor or host on TV and live shows, a humorist, a dancer, a sharp businessman and now an icon to ambitious young people who want to achieve success in their lives. But what he enjoys most is being a joker!

"When my mother was expecting me, she prayed to God that He should give her a happy child. Little did she know that she would produce a joker!" he says.

SRK's sporting spirit

While cricket fans across the nation are mourning the fall of the Indian cricket team at the World Cup, there is one person – Shah Rukh Khan – who has taken their early exit with a pinch of salt. "Why can't we accept defeat with grace? Everyone is saying the Indian team didn't play well, but no one is saying that the Sri Lankans played extremely well. Why take away their credit?" says Shah Rukh. Now that's some sporting spirit.
