Last morning was a day full of pleasant surprises as we played the first semifinals of Bollywood Badshah... Hindustan ka no.1 Bollywood quiz show. The 2 semifinalists, Hitesh and Arpita, took the quiz to a dramatic tiebreaker before taking home about Rs 10,000 each. Hitesh answered the tie-breaker question with great aplomb and moved to the Mega Finals of Bollywood Badshah. But here is the bigger surprise element.


During the course of my show (Bengalooru Fatafat Mon to Fri 7am to 11am), I received a SMS from the glam queen, actress Ramya casually asking me if she could be on the hot seat to play Bollywood Badshah. Turns out that she is in love with the quiz! And me on the other hand was in love with the very thought of having Ramya on my show. (Hey! She is piping hot!) Although our short sms stint during the morning show started with banter, it eventually led to some serious thinking and discussions with my producer Rakesh, my programming director Anil Machado, and culminated just the way I wanted it to, which is having Ramya on my show to play Bollywood Badshah. Yippee ye!

That was just the beginning of what seemed like a star studded parade. I shall tell you why. No sooner did I finalise having Ramya on my show than I received another call from my programming director that the cast and crew of the film Raaz would join me this week to promote their movie and play Bollywood Badshah as well.u00a0

Kangana Ranaut (of course, I can handle her), Emraan Hashmi (Kangana can handle him surely), Mahesh Bhatt (he can handle himself) would be there. That's not all. And then came a call from my producer confirming the Bengalooru Huduga and hearthrob cricketer Robin Uthappa's participation in Bollywood Badshah alongside actress Ramya. I mean... how much good news can a mighty man (me) handle in 15 minutes?!u00a0

You can surely hear them all on my show in the coming week. Ramya, Robin Uthappa, Kangana Ranaut, Mahesh Bhatt! To know when, tune into 94.3 RadioOne for the fatafat generation. Phew! That's really fatafat! And the picture that you see alongside, should clearly tell you, that you don't need to look good to play this quiz. Anyone can!
