Shah Rukh sinking with KBC- Part 4



Although most of the Indian TV media is praising Shahrukh as a new host of Kaun Banega Crorepati (of Star Plus) the truth is that the actor has flopped miserably. At his first show on 23rd January, 2007 most of the people found him very awkward and ordinary.

People were also found disgusted with most of the TV media calling Shahrukh as King Khan and declaring his first appearance as 'very successful'. Audience really missed Big B - Amitabh Bachchan - saying 'Shahrukh is no match for magnetic Big B'.

One Rakesh Chaudharay of Rohini said frustratingly that after listening to false media reports he wanted to hit the TV screen of his television. He asked surprisingly if the media could afford to lose the faith of the people by such false publicity. He doubted the reporting might have been funded.

Most of the time Shahrukh tried to copy great Amitabh Bachchan in the show but looked like a child. He was unable to bring his own unique style. The guy is really hard-working and he practised a lot before actually starting for the show. But his screen presence and acting was unable to cop with the expectations the media had already generated.

Comparing Amitabh's acting to Shahrukh is certainly ridiculous. It is universally accepted that Shahrukh is no match for Amitabh in acting. Therefore, trying to pit one against another and proving that Shahrukh was somewhat better than Amitabh is definitely harmful for the image of the TV media. Anju Wadhwa of Vikaspuri said that she did not expect bunch of lies at least from NDTV.

People of modern world are much educated and awakened. They can understand what is 'yellow journalism' and what may be the 'bought reporting'.

My prediction after watching the first show is now proving right. In coming weeks TRP rating will come down further.
