Shah Rukh Khan, the former host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, recently shared his heartfelt desire to see contestants win big on the show. He fondly recalled how he couldn’t resist the urge to lend a helping hand and guide them towards the correct answers. It’s amazing to see his genuine support for the contestants.

Kaun Banega Crorepati is indeed synonymous with Amitabh Bachchan, but during the third season in 2007, Shah Rukh Khan took on the role of the host and won everyone’s hearts with his charm and wit. It was a delightful return to television for him, and he brought his own unique touch to the show. It’s always amazing to see different personalities leaving their mark on beloved shows.
It must have been quite a memorable experience for Shah Rukh Khan at the World Government Summit in Dubai! He shared how he turned down the opportunity to be a part of Slumdog Millionaire because of his love and loyalty towards Kaun Banega Crorepati. It’s fascinating to hear that he genuinely hoped the contestants would win on the show and sometimes wanted to help them, but the producers would remind him not to. It shows his dedication to making the show fair and exciting for everyone. And it’s true, those last few questions can be really tough.
SRK once mentioned on Koffee With Karan that he wanted to host the show until he turned 60. He admitted that there were times when he didn’t know the answers to the tough questions and wished he could give hints to the contestants. It’s all about wanting them to succeed.
SRK recently said goodbye to the audience of his show December. Throughout the seasons, he had fun banter with the contestants and shared inspiring stories on social media. He finds each interaction with the contestants to be a learning experience and admires their expressions, expectations, and confidence. It’s amazing how their stories contribute to making each episode special.
