" I am called for KBC on 31st September , can I add you as 'phone a friend' ??? " was the sms I sent to 80 % of my friends on the list . What amazed me was the response - hey congrats , really , nice...and all of them said ofcourse they would be glad to become 'phone a friend.' A few of them who have known me for ages knew I pulled a prank . So they replied , "you needn't ask me, directly add " :) . A few surprising ones were , "only if you wanna lose" ....
The good thing about the whole episode was how people were excited about my participation . And its not about money or game show , they all were unanimously excited about the plausible encounter with one and only Mr. Amitabh Bachchan . Two of my friends were also excited about , they would get to talk to Mr. Bachchan and what question they would ask him at that moment . They were certainly sad to discover it was a prank .
I have watched KBC and the demeanour of Mr. Bachchan , certainly it never crossed my mind what the host has achieved . He is yet so humble , polite and no hanky panky in presentation . In one of the recent episodes , the contestants asked him to repeat the mirror scene from Amar Akbar Anthony ( I have myself lost the count , the no. of times I have watched this movie ) . He politely refused because he said that scene was performed under alcohol influence and at the moment I am not under influence , quite cheeky . It defined a class about him .
Also I realised , if I ever get a call from KBC and win fastest finger first , would be awestruck by his persona for a while before being used to the idea that a superstar is hosting .:):)
On a signing off the only person who has enjoyed the Ricksha bandh was my nephew , who got to bunk his nursery yesterday.
