Shahrukh Ko Gale Laga Lo

SHAHRUKH KO GALE LAGA LO

Shahrukh insists his contestants to say'Shahrukh Mere Gale Lag Jao'when someone wants to quit rather saying 'i Quit ' .This makes one wonder Why?IMAGINE an episode where Karan Johar is opposite our ingenious Shahrukh and he want to quit the show ,what will happen next will undeniably raise many eyebrows. Another new feature added to the show is a calm Champi.When someone feels nervous Shahrukh can be asked to do a brief Champi.One wonders again whats happening!!! There is more,Shahrukh is in constant run to copy our inevitable personality ,no other than Big B.But frankly speaking this is what all may have done.Before criticizing any more further,one thing Indian masses must keep in mind,he is the second best option after Amitabh.If he is not up to the mark,than no one is.

Amitabh may look authoritative but Shahrukh is the Saviour.Without him the Indian audiences would'not have seen more of KBC.Competition make people work hard and therefore is very healthy.But the type of it which our King Khan got last year was really biased.Shahrukh was'not given a fair deal for Don.The thick headed Indian masses just was not ready to see some one else as Don.So Shahrukh suffered the various setback.KBC does it once again.Excepted,Amitabh has an aura about himself.But one should not expect Amitabh in all of it.Had Shahrukh been there from the very beginning ,then Amitabh too would not have done justice.Same with Don.If by all chances one contrives to make another DDLJ 30 years down the line,though it could be exceedingly well made,but it will suffer from the same setback and fate which Shahrukh and his starer Don suffered.So when Shahrukh is criticized we are now aware why it is so.Lastly,I wanna say 'Shahrukh Mujhe Gale Laga Lo' for giving us

back our favorite show one and only star plus's KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI.
