The Kaun Banega Crorepati controversy ceases to die down. Rumours are spreading as if flames of a house on big time fire. There were reports that Big B is very upset with Star Plus and SRK for going ahead with KBC even though he was keen on doing it. But if a tabloid report is to be believed then, the reason why the channel went ahead with SRK was Bachchan insisting on getting double his price for finishing off the remaining 26 episodes (the episodes left due to Mr Bachchan’s illness last year). Umeed se duguna…Anyone…

Shahrukh Khan on the other hand is leaving no stone unturned in stressing that he is “Not going to be a host but a dost.” At a press conference in Delhi yesterday, SRK was in good humour and answered the probing questions in a lighthearted manner. He also said that he is willing to go on his knees to convince Mr Bachchan to be a celebrity contestant on his show. “I would drive him myself to the studio,” he said.

Shahrukh Khan will address the media in Mumbai today. You bet, it’s gonna be one hell of an event….
