Both Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan have had a long standing stint in Bollywood and now, the two seem to rule the idiot box. Big B will once again host the popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati 7 while Salman Khan will be up to his usual antics in Bigg Boss 7. With his baritone voice and charismatic personality, Amitabh Bachchan’s style and his fan following has made the show an instant hit. He was briefly replaced by Shahrukh Khan, but Big B seemed to bounce back. Last year in the opening episode of KBC 6, the show raked in a TRP of 6.1. That same time, Salman’s show was also to air on another channel and when asked at a press conference about the tussle between KBC and Bigg Boss, he remained elusive and evaded the question. While Big B may rule the hearts of the masses, Salman hold his own equally when it comes to fan popularity. Salman’s unique style of having fun with the contestants while being strict at the same time proved to be a hit for the show. That apart, Salman’s way of handling the fights and controversies on the show make it an interesting watch. This year too, both KBC 7 and Bigg Boss 7 will mark a new season on TV around the same time. While Big B’s KBC is expected to bring in a high TRP rating once again, Salman’s Bigg Boss with it’s theme of Heaven vs. Hell, has generated a lot of curiosity and everyone seems to wonder how different will it be from last year.
The king of the TV: Big B or Salman Khan?
