this article is amazing, but only if you're already an SRK fan. otherwise, let me summarize: Shah Rukh Khan, possibly the most famous, and likely the most beloved Indian actor working, has taken over hosting the Indian version of
Who Wants to be a Millionaire?,
Kaun Began Crorepati? (actual translation is closer to
Who Will Become a Ten-Millionaire? but remember that the dollar is worth about 45 rupees...) from Amitabh Bachchan, the most famous Indian actor of a generation ago (who remains very popular.) he's taken his responsibilities pretty seriously; he even had a replica of the set, including the computer and special chairs installed
in his home so that he could practice hosting. he invited friends over to be his practice contestants.
he debuted as host last night to huge ratings. he hugs a lot of people on the show. pretty much everyone, in fact. including all the members of the crew. he is both a good hugger and fragrant. he will likely be very successful.
