Three cheers to SRK

An overtly rude lady was the lucky one yesterday in the immensely popular KBC. Throughout the show, she behaved very aggressively, too overconfident and showing little respect to one of Bollywood's greatest superstar. One one occasion, when asked how many numbers are there with 9 in them from 1 to 100, she took an audience poll ! After the poll, when SRK suggested that she could have counted it herself, she said, "Maine audience ko ginane ka waqt diya tha, ki farak peenda hain!". You couldn't but LOL !!

SRK, started a practice in which he asked participants to give him a hug and leave when they wanted to quit with the sum of money they had already won and did not wanted to take any risk. When this lady wanted to quit, she said, "Mein koi risk nahi lena chahati, magar mujhe tumse yaha gale milane ka koi showk nahi, I Quit." SRK was obviously taken aback by such a rude statement, may be he felt intimidated too and his face showed it all.
I thought , that lady has got the better of shahrukh. He had been ruthlessly shown disrespect to him on national television. Stepping into the shoes of the Big B, questions were already being raised about SRK's capabilities. He had to do something to maintain audience appeal.

As the lady got up to receive her check of 12,50000/- SRK cheekily said, "Agar mein ye check apaki mataji to du to theek hain ?" on which the lady caught unawares, casually agreed and then came the strike of a master. "Kyoki vo mujhase jaroor gale milegi!". The crowd rose in laughter, cheer and applaud for the witty comment. After this, SRK came back to the lady and delivered the final blow, "Beti ne nahi diya to maa ne de diya, ki farak peenda hain ! ".

SRK did this in tremendous style, attitude and humour. It was surely difficult to come out of such a situation, but he did that with panache. He got his late life lessons of TV hosting but also received cheers from a million hearts ;)

Very true...I think SRK has got wonderful communication skills, great personal skills as well and add to that his immaculate comic timing makes him the correct person to replace Big B.
I saw that show and I felt it can be only Shahrukh who can come out of these situations in style.

Hey Parikshit -after a long time -Nice to see you back ;).
I always think Shahrukh as an ordinary guy with extraordinaray skills/efforts/hardwork. But he is finally just like normal people - and not in "GOD" category where Sachin tendulkar,Amitabh fits in. Maybe thats the reson for his success - people can relate with him.
