So far The Big B and Madhuri Dixit have never really crossed paths. Years ago they were supposed to be paired together in JP Dutta’s film that was shelved. Years later filmmaker Somnath Sen almost brought the ‘forbidden’ pair together. And failed. Now Big B and Dixit are coming together in an unexpected way. He is all set to take over from Madhuri, as the host of a morality-based show. Madhuri has been a success as the host, as she throws open discussions on dowry, widow remarriage, and other social issues and gets viewers interested in issues beyond entertainment. However, Madhuri’s one-year tenure may be about to end as the channel wants Big B take over from Madhuri. Interestingly the Big B was the first choice when the channel was launched. However, he was busy with ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ and couldn’t come on board. But now Madhuri returns to ‘Jhalak Dikhla Jaa’ on another TV channel Sony. Big B has also shown a keen interest in assuming this new role and the details are now being worked out.
