Kaun Banega Crorepati 2

Big B is back.. n back with a bang (for this read the next para). The 2nd part of the hugely-popular KBC (same lines on Who wants to be a Millionaire) kicked off last Friday. The enthu of the ppl remains the same only thing changing seems to be the moolah.. doubled this time to 2 crore.

Columnist Shailaja Bajapai in today's Indian Express writes:

...like TV is booming, and we boast of over 60 TV 24x7 channels, the only TV icon we possess is an ageing, white-bearded film star of 60+, who, last week, dyed his hair light brown, climbed into Abhishek’s black leather jacket (with steel rings on the pockets), and sang KBC’s cheerful opening rap-like ditty to belie the crow’s nests gathering below his eyes?...

Sooooo true... but still he remains (n will continue in coming yrs) the comman man's ultimate hero.

Pune (ok...atleast myself) hung my head in shame when a localite reaching the Hot Seat didn't know wht was PETA for.

That old guy is India's Regis Philbon. Old, loved by all, and host (or former host) of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire.

Does that guy host his own daytime talkshow too?
