New KBC

There was and is a lot of debate on whether the new KBC hosted by Shahrukh is better or the older one hosted by Big B.
I have watched a couple of episodes of the new one and found that Shahrukh has given it a distinct identity of his own compared to what Big B had given it. And for this exact reason, I will not be able to comment on which one is better.
Big B had a different appeal and aura for his show and Shahrukh has given this one another appeal. Big B's was more sedate, just right to do with Big B's age and maturity. Shahrukh's is more youthful. With Big B hosting, the contestants were faced with an elderly person, with Shahrukh there is a person who seems to be close to their age group, they can even get away with his leg pulling ... witness one of the contestants saying K..K..K..K..Khan.
So there will always be KBC known by 'Big B's KBC' and "King Khan's KBC'.
