Most TV critics believed that Amitabh's 'KBC' will take a beating from 'Bigg Boss 4' because of Salman Khan's star power but it seems that things are going the other way round. Despite a tough competition from Salman Khan's 'Bigg Boss 4′ and Akshay kumar's 'Master Chef', 'KBC' is still going high on the popularity charts.
Apparently 'KBC' has got the vote of the audience and Amitabh continues to be the biggest crowd puller on small screen. Armed with his charismatic presence and the smooth baritone, Amitabh has simply outgunned the onscreen histrionics of both Salman and Akshay.
While Sony's 'KBC' opened with a TVR of 6.2, Salman Khan's 'Bigg Boss 4' is trailing behind at 4.8. The most unimpressive performance has to be that of Akshay Kumar's 'Master Chef' which is staggering behind at a mere 2.6 TVR.
This goes on to show that Amitabh Bachchan is the most popular TV anchor in India. Although some of the biggest names in Bollywood have made their debuts in the small screen, none of them have fetched in more TRP than Amitabh.
