KBC

Coming May will see a heat of a different kind ! As KBC wraps up to be replaced by Ekta's Kasturi, we think the later will set a new kind of competition. For a long time now, the show like the Janus is being torn between 'keep it under wraps and stimulate constant hype.'

Isn't history repeating itself? Five years back when Kkusum, featuring Anuj Saxena, aired on Sony, Star Plus' KBC with Amitabh Bachchan on the host's seat had simultaneously left the audience spellbound. And now once again both the channels are ready with two mega shows to be telecast around the same time. We are talking about Kulvaddhu (Sony), which is backed by Anuj's production house - Maverick and KBC (Star Plus) where King Khan, Shahrukh will takeover the mantle from Big B. The former goes on air from 25th December while the latter will be back in January.

The first crorepati on KBC took a long time to materialise, but we have it on authority that the first crore-winner has already been crowned on KBC2. In an episode that was shot just hours ago, a guy from a small city in Madhya Pradesh walked away with the booty. Thus far, the highest win on the show has been five million rupees. Celeb couple Kajol and Ajay Devgan reached the magic figure of a crore on KBC 2 last month, but the couple doesn't qualify for applause as much as a civilian who faces much harder questions. Now, we wonder, who's going to touch the magical two crore?
