"I must say it was a good experience," says the host with the most, Amitabh Bachchan about the latest celebrity special on KBC, bringing together the iconic Sania Mirza and Lara Dutta.
Revealing details of the unexpected synthesis of sports and cinema, Star's COO Samir Nair says, "We've got Sania and Lara together as a Children's day special. Why these two? Well, Sania needs no justification. She's a youth icon, and though she's the queen of endorsements, she needs no endorsement. Getting her on the hot seat was a challenge, and we proved equal to it.
"We needed a spunky spirited woman of today to complement Sania on the hot seat. Lara fitted the bill perfectly. She's young articulate and intelligent. They're very very watchable together. Both Lara and Sania represent the spirit of youth and are role models for kids this children's day. Like Sania , Lara started very young. She became Miss Universe when she was in her teens. Ask Mr Bachchan, Lara and Sania are dynamite together."
The Children's day special to be telecast on Sunday November 13, has many interesting interludes, not only with the two star guests but also with their respective families.
Says Samir Nair, "Sania's father is on the show along with her mother and sister. Everyone always wanted to know what Mr Mirza is like. Mr Bachchan finds out for us. AB talks quite extensively with Sania's dad about many subjects including her money."
