Shah Rukh Khan (born 2 November 1965), often credited as Shahrukh Khan and informally referred as SRK or King Khan, is an Indian film actor.
On 31 December 2000, he appeared as a celebrity contestant on Series 1 of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian version of the show, and won 5,000,000 rupees. In 2007 he returned to host Series 3 of the show, replacing Amitabh Bachchan due to illness. However, he was poorly received as host, simply due to having big shoes to fill in living up to Bachchan, who had already made his mark on the format. He also appeared on Series 5 in 20 October 2011, winning another 5,000,000 rupees.
He also appeared again on Series 6 with Katrina Kaif on 2 November 2012, winning 2,500,000 rupees and also Series 8 with Deepika Padukone, Farah Khan and Abhishek Bachchan on 21 October 2014, winning 1,250,000 rupees. Both times he was forced to walk away due to the klaxon sounding.
He was offered the role of the Millionaire host in Slumdog Millionaire, but turned it down, objecting to the host actively trying not to let the contestant win. The role eventually went to Anil Kapoor. To this day, Khan does not regret his decision, despite the success of the film.
At first, he said that even his dad didn't know this question, so of course he didn't know this. He decided to use 50:50, which eliminated B and D. Although he had 50/50 chance, but he didn't want to risk right away, so he called his Phone-A-Friend Pam Chopra (in Mumbai), who failed to give any option in 30 seconds. Surprisingly, after the call, the klaxon called time and he was forced to walk away. He would have guessed C: Royal Scots Fusiliers, and if he had enough time to answer this question, he would have been the second contestant in India to win ₹1 Crore.
