Big B and Shah Rukh have refused to host the show

It had changed Amitabh Bachchan’s life forever, but today the show has no takers. Yes, we are talking about “Kaun Banega Crorepati”.

The show gave a new lease of life to Big B’s career several years ago. It had marked his hugely successful comeback after a major slump in his career. Bachchan’s popularity only soared thereafter.

Today, it’s the show which needs rescuing.

Apparently, producer Siddharth Basu is running from door to door to find some takers as he readies for the fourth season of the game show. Both Shah Rukh Khan and Big B have bluntly refused to host the show. Even leading channels like Sony, Star, Zee and Colors have said that they have enough on their hands and are not willing to air the show.

Will this mark an end to KBC, which was at one point of time the biggest attraction on Star Plus?

The relationship between KBC and Bachchan soured when Big B left the show due to some illness. He could not shoot the remaining episodes and later SRK was roped in. Though, Bachchan settled the matter, he apparently made up his mind never to work on this show again.

Farah Khan sure has a knack for digging out the dirt from our politically correct actors and actresses.

The talk show host has had probably the best responses from her guests who bear it all on her show Tere Mere Beach Mein. Good friend and director Karan Johar who by the way was the first host to cause quite a stir in B-town was at his catty best on Farah’s show.

Everyone knows about the Karan Johar-RamGopal Varma feud and how both of them can’t stand each other’s style of filmmaking. So when Farah asked Karan whether he would like to eat junk food with Shah Rukh or diet biscuits with Ramu, Karan bared his claws and said, ‘I would rather have diet biscuits with Ramu because Ramu has stopped making cinema, atleast he can make diet biscuits.’

This comes right after Ramu in a recent interview said that family dramas should stay in the family and not on screen. Sources even say, Kangna Ranaut who will also be seen in a later episode on the show, told Farah that she was sick of being nagged by directors to look sweet and innocent like Rani Mukherjee and have a dimple like Preity Zinta.

But not everyone’s as nasty, recently latest Kamina on the block Shahid Kapur revealed his secret crush and dream co-star of all time, Madhuri Dixit. He is told to have said, ‘There wouldn’t be any mobile phones those days, so I’d get a lot of time to flirt with all the heroines. I would flirt with all of them.. thoda thoda,’ ‘And a little extra with Madhuri,’ asked Farah. ‘Yes, much more with Madhuri,’ responded Shahid.

Seems like Farah Khan is soon going to topple Karan Johar from his best talk show host throne and we hope Kjo doesn’t bare his claws again, what say?

Looks like Bollywood’s latest star on the block Shahid Kapoor has a Madhuri hangover. Asked by chat show host Farah Khan which heroine he would pick for his dream project — Sridevi, Rekha, Madhuri Dixit or Zeenat Aman — he didn’t waste a moment in rooting for Madhuri!

Out of the heroes — Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna — it was Amitji he wanted. The film, set in the 70s, according to the mock discussion on the show Tere Mere Beach Mein, would be directed by Nasser Hussain, and shot in Kashmir, starring villain Ranjit ‘the rape specialist’ and Shahid himself handling the romantic portions.

“There wouldn’t be any mobile phones those days, so I’d get a lot of time to flirt with all the heroines. I would flirt with all of them.. thoda thoda,” said Shahid. “And a little extra with Madhuri,” asked farah. “Yes, much more with Madhuri,” responded Shahid.

He added, “I would also ask for a longer lunch break so that I can more time to flirt.”

Shares stories from his struggling days with host Farah Khan

The success of "Kaminey" has catapulted him into the big league, but actor Shahid Kapur says he sat at home for six months without any work after his box office hit "Vivaah" in 2006.

"The most difficult phase was after 'Vivaah' was a super hit. I was at home for six months without work. I got some 60 film offers but none inspired me," Shahid told choreographer-director Farah Khan on STAR Plus' chat show "Tere Mere Beach Mein".

On the show, the actor spoke of losing his confidence after a spate of failures following his debut film "Ishq Vishk".

He even shared how apprehensive and nervous he was when he had begun shooting for "Vivaah", but gained a little confidence after director Sooraj Barjatya gave him a pep talk saying: "There's only one thing that can take you ahead and that's talent and you have that in you!"

"I was unconvinced and gave one shot, then I saw it on the monitor and I said, 'I've given a perfect shot...I know my work.' After that I used to just focus on my work."

The episode featuring Shahid will be aired on Saturday (Sept 5) at 9 pm. Also on the show with him will be Genelia D’Souza.

She reveals what it was like growing up in Bareilly

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who made a style statement with her hot pants and halter tops in "Dostana", wasn't allowed to wear a pair of jeans at home during her growing up years.

The 27-year-old actress, who was brought up in She reveals what it was like growing up in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, faced these restrictions at home after returning from the US, where she had gone to do her high school.

"I wasn't allowed to wear short skirts and then my jeans were also confiscated. And my mother got 12 salwar kameez sets made for me so that I wore only those because when I used to go to school, guys used to follow me," Priyanka revealed on Farah Khan's chat show "Tere Mere Beach Mein".

But that phase is over for Priyanka who is counted among the most glamorous actresses in Bollywood today.

She will be seen with boxing champion Vijender Singh on the show on STAR Plus on Saturday (Aug 29). They would be seen talking about what it’s like growing up in smaller cities.
