channel about the
relative merits of Big B and Shahrukh in the new Kaun
Banega Crorepati. And who

a new, youthful look to the
show , and Shahrukh exuberntly into the act. He
is always jumpy, even in real

to Big B's sedate graciousness
and sophisticated humour. A slight change of

Shaharukh went a trifle too far,
perhaps, when he
messaged the neck of the nervous contestant and gave a bear
