Can the new Don ouster original KBC host, Big B?

Shah Rukh Khan is set to replace Amitabh Bachchan as KBC goes on air after its second interval. Speak Up probes the entertainment quotient of two Dons on television

SRK lacks maturity
The entire show should be revamped to suit SRK’s personality. Think KBC and it’s Big B who comes to your mind. If SRK is made to host it without revamping it, the entire show will lose its charm. SRK lacks the maturity, aura and voice of Amitabh. There were many shows hosted by different actors, but none could match Amitabh’s charm. Akshit Singh. Andheri

None of SRK dialogues are memorable
Shah Rukh lacks the personality to carry off a serious show like KBC. I feel the show should be revamped and made funnier and lighter to suit SRK. I can’t think of any patent line for him as none of his dialogues are memorable. There is no one who can replace Big B’s effectively. Gauri Acharya. Malad

Abhishek should have succeeded Big B
SRK’s cute looks gives him an edge over Big B, but as far as voice and personality goes, he is nowhere near the legend. His patent line should be “Biru final hai na”. There should be more variety in the show like star interviews. I feel Abhishek should have succeeded his dad’s throne. Vrinda Goyal. Thane

Time to drop the Big B baggage
One can’t compare SRK and Big B. They have made their mark in their unique way. People should watch the show with a new perspective and not with ‘Big B baggage’. May be, if a few Bollywood dialogues are shown at the end of the show, it will be a bit different and entertaining from earlier KBCs. SRK is okay, but my choice would have been Sanjay Dutt. Gaurang Verma. Bhandup

The original was the best
SRK represents the youth and has huge female fan following. This is the biggest advantage he has over Amitabh Bachchan, since women watch more TV than men. I feel the show is best the way it was, may be the organisers should have made it livelier by adding a few song and dance sequences. If you had to replace Big B, it should have been Hritik. Kiran Sharma. Kandivali

No one can better Big B
SRK lacks the personality and voice of Amitabh. What is to his advantage is that he represents the younger generation and has a huge young fan following. With SRK hosting KBC, the show will lose its maturity and seriousness. I don’t think the show needs to be revamped; it’s Shah Rukh who needs to revamp himself to suit the show. Brijesh Mathur. Goregaon

It's unfair to compare
SRK's major advantage is that he is young and full of life. It’ll be unfair to compare him to Big B. The show should be seen with new perspective. I feel there should be some lighter moments in the show. May be, Shah Rukh can make participants sing and dance. I feel Hritik Roshan should have been a better choice for KBC. Rekha Gadgi. Chembur

Bring back Big B
Nobody can replace Amitabh Bachchan. If organisers of Kaun Banega Crorepati think that they can have an as successful show with Shah Rukh Khan, they are mistaken. There is no need to revamp the show. What is needed is to replace Shah Rukh with Big B. Manoj Kannan. Worli. Courtsey: DNA
