I like the new season of KBC. I think it is better than last two seasons, but for one thing that the quality of contestants has dwindled drastically. I suppose people have lost the enthusiasm or the selection process which draws them to the big seat is not suitable. Not even one person has been able to reach the magic figure of 2 crore since the beginning of the new season. That is quite disappointing keeping in mind that the questions are not really that tough. The only saving grace is Shahrukh, who makes the atmosphere light as against Mr. Bacchhan who was always sophisticated. Shahrukh even has the guts to crack jokes on him self during the show. The new terms like ‘freeze kiya jaaye’ and ‘mujhe gale laga lo’ are like a breath of fresh air. 

There has been many comparisons between Amitabh and Shahrukh and who is better at hosting the show. In my opinion, Shahrukh is better because he is catering to a younger audience keeping in mind the older people too. I am a big fan of Shahrukh so my opinion might be a little biased. But doesn’t it feel nice to have little things in the show that make you laugh (though this applies to real life too). The gifting of items like caps autographed by him and not losing a single instance to praise himself – which he is quite known of – seems interesting. He has also been generous enough to gift his watches to the participants. I don’t know whether that was a publicity gimmick but action speaks louder than words as they say. 

So everyday (Mon-Thurs) I like being glued to the television to watch my favourite program KBC. I do not watch any other program. However, I am eagerly awaiting for the Cricket World Cup.Â
