Shah Rukh KhanKBC experience will make me a better actor: Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said the experience of hosting television show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) will make him a better actor.

Talking to reporters recently on the sets of the game show at Film City in suburban Mumbai, SRK said he was feeling bad that the show is coming to an end.




''Over the last three months, I met over 100 contestants and interacted with them backstage as well. Belief in god, love for children and sense of humour was common trait among all contestants. There should be an essence of simplicity in our lives. I think the experience of interacting with different kinds of people will make a positive difference in my acting skills,'' SRK said.

The 52-episode season will end on April 20 and the actor will shoot the last episode on Wednesday. ''There will be a sense of emptiness with me when the show ends. Earlier, I felt 52 episodes would be too long and now I am feeling that the season is coming to an end so soon,'' SRK added.

''I will miss the fear of coming to KBC sets,'' the King Khan added.

Speaking about his experience on the show, SRK said he had tried to bring humour, entertainment and ease on the sets while interacting with contestants.

Lauding the efforts of the KBC crew for their précised programming, SRK said the backend was amazingly handled for this show, which is a serious entertaining stuff.

To a question on criticism that he was awkward in the initial episodes and later comfortably settled in the role of an anchor, SRK said, ''It is true that I am restless and move a lot. I have read media reports that I was awkward initially. May be it's true. Even Siddharth Basu and other members of the crew would bring it to my notice.''

SRK said as a KBC host, he was closest to what he was in real life.

When asked about difference between the show hosted by Amitabh Bachchan and himself, SRK said the difference lay in the personalities of the hosts involved. Each has his own individual style. Novelty of the show has its own success ratio. Besides, it has great production value.

''I have my own style. I cant say whether it was good or bad. I am just doing my job. Comparisons should not have been made. But, they were inevitable. I do not look back on the work I have done. In fact, I do not even watch my own films,'' SRK added.

To a question on the gifts he presented to contestants who did not do well, SRK said ''I have a sense of humour and am easy with people. Presenting contestants with gifts was a spontaneous thought. The gifts like my personal watches were given to very young contestants whom I genuinely felt should do well in life.''

Presenting Santro cars to nine contestants on Tuesday night's episode was a gesture on part of the car manufacturers to make the contestants feel special. ''It was not a commercial aspect. I think I played my part as a host in making my guests feel at home and very special,'' SRK added.

SRK said the second season will begin by the end of this year or early 2008 depending on adjustment of his dates with that of Siddharth Basu's Synergy Adlabs and Star India.
