Though the competitive quiz show 바카라˜Kaun Banega Crorepati바카라™ has been associated with Amitabh Bachchan for the longest time, the third season of the show, conducted in 2007, was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, wherein he wowed the viewers with his wit and charm.

The actor, who graced the World Government Summit in Dubai on Wednesday, February 14, spoke at 바카라˜The Making of a Star: A Conversation with Shah Rukh Khan바카라™ wherein he revealed the reason why he turned down the 2008 Oscar-winning film 바카라˜Slumdog Millionaire바카라™: his love for KBC. He felt that it was 바카라œdishonest바카라 and 바카라œdisrespectful to the producers of KBC.바카라

At the panel, when a journalist from CNN, Richard Quest, asked the 바카라˜Jawan바카라™ actor about his time on the show and how he would feel when the contestant is at the peak of winning the prize amount, he replied, 바카라œI genuinely hoped that they won. There were so many people coming from different parts of the country. There were times when I wanted to help them, but you know, you can바카라™t! The producers would keep shouting in your ears, saying, 바카라˜You can바카라™t say this!바카라™ 바카라˜You have already said enough!바카라™ The last four or two questions were really tough.바카라

Despite his eagerness to help contestants in winning in whichever way possible, Khan confessed that there were moments when he found himself in a predicament, unsure of the right answers. He continued, 바카라œSuddenly, these difficult questions are thrown at you, and you바카라™re like, 바카라˜Oh my God, this person is not going to get the correct answer,바카라™ and I felt really bad. I wished I had some hint. I didn바카라™t want to mislead them because most of the time I didn바카라™t know the answer.바카라

Having previously expressed his desire to continue hosting the show until he was 60 years of age, later, he acknowledged that he couldn바카라™t envision anyone else taking on the role of the Quizzmaster except for Amitabh Bachchan.

KBC, which started airing back in 2000, successfully completed 15 seasons in December 2023.
