After enthralling viewers with 52 entertaining episodes with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as the host, "Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC), one of the most popular game show on small screen, is coming to end April 19.

But not just like that! The badshah of Bollywood in his trademark style entertained viewers with an exciting fun-filled episode and even bursts in tears on KBC's last show.

The grand finale will see two leading ladies of the silver screen - Kareena Kapoor with Priyanka Chopra - and the hottest pair of tinsel town, Salman Khan with Katrina Kaif come together on television for the first time on a game show.

"KBC was a fantastic experience and I enjoyed myself to the hilt. Sitting across Shah Rukh can be quite nerve wrecking, but he completely put me at ease. In fact, he was completely driven up the wall because Kareena and myself would keep debating which answer to opt for and always came up with different options.

"The fun was complete with Salman and Katrina on the show, where all of us did the last segment together," said Priyanka on her experience on the game show.

Salman, who generally stays away from the media, leaves the audience in splits with his wit and wacky humour. The episode also has Priyanka exercising her vocal chords.

All these celebrities will donate their prize money to different organisations. The ravishing Kareena will give it to St. Anthony's Old Age Home and Mount Mary's Bandra while Priyanka will contribute her prize money to Nari and the Utkal Bipanaa Sahayata Samiti.

While Katrina will donate her prize money to the Kovalam Charitable trust, Salman will give the winning amount to his soon-to-be-opened Salman Khan Foundation (SKF).

Amid all the glimmer and action-packed drama, Shah Rukh will freeze some of KBC's assorted magical moments. In his endeavour to make it a night to remember, he will also distribute Khamakhan Awards, which is divided into various categories.

They are: Khan Ki Khoj (some inventions on the show like topi, gale milna etc), Krazy Kiya Re (some unforgettable moments with some unforgettable contestants), Kyunki Hum Sab Kalakaar Hai (some entertaining performances on KBC), Khullam Khulla Pyar Karenge (Some romantic moments between SRK and female contestants).

The celebrity guests will announce the nominees and the winners of these 'Khamakhan Awards'.

Though the show is ending on a positive note with viewers wanting more of Shah Rukh, the third edition of KBC was under a scanner as the superstar was constantly compared with Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, the original host and reports of low TRPs (television rating points) kept making headlines.

But audiences from all age groups across the country have enjoyed the show immensely because the actor brought wit and informality to the show.

"He has turned the show so live and youthful. Watching the show with Shah Rukh was more fun. His facial expressions and gestures keep you hooked to the show. There is no denying that he is a successful host," said Anusuya Ambadan, a student from Kerala.

"I think he is stupendously hilarious. He cuts across all generations," said Savi Narula, a Delhi-based housewife.

"Sometimes my son, who is passionate about football, would sacrifice a football match on television to watch KBC along with us, mainly because of Shah Rukh," she added.

In fact, many felt that it was unfair to compare Shah Rukh and Amitabh.

"Shah Rukh is good in his own way. He is friendly type and it would be nice to have him host again. I won't like to compare Shah Rukh with Amitabh. And he wouldn't have looked good if he had imitated Amitabh.

"I don't think the audience would have accepted him doing what Amitabh used to do because Shah Rukh belongs to this generation," said Ranjini, a Delhi-based teacher.

However, for those who are disappointed over the end of the third edition of the game show, there is no need to feel disheartened as the show is coming back again, said Harsh Rohatgi, General Manager Marketing and Content, STAR India.

"It will be back somewhere in January next year and Shah Rukh Khan will continue to host it," Rohatgi told.
