Shah Rukh Khan on KBC 3
The reality quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati has been entertaining audiences for over 25 years now. While the show is synonymous with Amitabh Bachchan and his impeccable hosting, there was one season when the megastar had to step away. In 2007, KBC Season 3 was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, a phase that fans still fondly remember. Even today, clips from that season often resurface online, reminding viewers of SRK’s charm and warmth.
Now, one such clip from KBC Season 3 has gone viral, showcasing Shah Rukh Khan’s generosity. In the video, a contestant is seen getting a question wrong, which costs him Rs 3 lakh, bringing his winnings down to Rs 20,000. Moved by the contestant’s disappointment, Khan did something that perfectly captured his gracious personality.
