Alright!
He
may
have
said
in
an
interview
to
a
news
channel
that
he
was
never
offered
'Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
4" in
the
first
place,
but
it"s
no
secret
that
Sony
Entertainment
Television
and
BIG
Synergy
were
keen
on
working
with
Bollywood"s
Mr.
Perfectionist,
Aamir
Khan.
A
prominent
Mumbai
tabloid
had
first
reported
on
Aamir
Khan
being
offered
the
show.
Producer
Siddhart
Basu
was
quoted
saying
that
Sony
Pictures,
which
owns
the
format,
might
have
had
an
initial
discussion
with
Aamir.
The
actor"s
spokesperson
too
had
neither
confirmed
nor
denied
the
story.
In
another
report,
Basu
claimed
that
Aamir
is
one
individual
who
he
would
like
to
work
with.
Just
few
weeks
back,
the
buzz
in
the
air
was
that
it
will
be
Aamir
who
will
make
his
TV
debut
as
the
host
of
'Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
4".
Rumour
has
it
that
a
popular
news
channel
was
even
going
to
go
ahead
and
break
this
news.
However,
everyone
was
shocked
when
it
was
learnt
that
it
won"t
be
Aamir
but
Amitabh
Bachchan
who
will
host
the
show.
Oneindia
was
the
first
to
report
this
story.
Well,
it
just
wasn"t
the
public,
but
we
too
were
taken
by
surprise
by
this
development.
Earlier,
we"d
broken
the
news
of
Khan
being
offered
two
projects
–
KBC
4
and
orginal
concept.
However,
it
was
KBC
that
he
was
expected
to
sign.
So
what
went
wrong
then?
A
industry
insider
says,
“Look
while
there
was
no
formal
offer,
top
officials
from
Sony
did
meet
the
actor.
As
always,
Aamir
takes
his
own
time
to
respond.
Unfortunately,
for
Sony,
Aamir
turned
it
down.
He
felt
that
doing
TV
is
an
enormous
task.
Aamir
was
simply
of
the
view
that
he"s
not
ready
to
take
up
such
big
responsibility
as
yet.
Besides,
he
didn"t
have
the
time
as
he"ll
be
busy,
looking
after
his
home
productions."
Second
choice
simply
doesn"t
exist
in
the
Bollywood
superstar"s
lexicon.
After
reading
all
about,
Khan,
why
did
Amitabh
Bachchan
accept
the
show
then?
“If
it"s
KBC
and
Big
B,
there"s
simply
no
question
of
a
second
choice.
Let"s
not
forget
that
it"s
Bachchan
who
had
propelled
the
show
both
in
season
one
and
two.
Besides,
I
don"t
think
Mr.Bachchan
has
any
airs.
Sony
is
confident
that
with
Bachchan
back
as
host,
KBC
will
get
the
same
numbers
as
it
did
for
Star," added
the
source.
Well,
speculations,
comparison,
and
theories
around
KBC
won"t
end.
Now
that
Bachchan
is
back
at
the
helm,
the
viewers
will
simply
say,
“Let"s
play"
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati"!
