'My competition is with myself'

REALITY SHOW

“I might joke around, fool around with my loved ones, entertain people at length. Sometimes they misinterpret it but I believe I am a dignified person. I am a dignified husband, a father, a brother, a son-in-law,” said Shah Rukh.

“I will never want my show to stoop down to a level where I feel ashamed of it. I will never do or let any kind of misbehaviour rule my show just for TRP ratings as people say,” said Shah Rukh.

Shah Rukh’s new show is the Indian edition of the internationally popular Wipeout.

Zor Ka Jhatka will see 28 TV stars battling it out in an obstacle course set in Argentina and the superstar also claimed he will stand as an apostle of love and peace to curb eventual male egos on the show.

“Fights on my show are a little dicey to see. And if they do fight, I will stand as a peacemaker,” he said.

Asked about his competitive strategy to tackle other celebrity hosts on the small screen, he said, “Till the time competition is healthy everything works perfect. Everybody is doing their job and are giving it their best shot.”

“My competition is with myself and not any celebrity. I truly believe that I do a good job, I work very hard and I will keep working hard. And that is what is of concern to me,” he added.

So will the host perform any adventure sports too? “The first thing that I made clear to the channel was that I shouldn’t be made to do any of those sports. They want me to do a promo where I need to do some of the activities, but I’m not looking forward to it. Getting dipped in mud, drenched out in dirty water – I can’t take that humiliation. But let’s see,” he quipped.

The show will go on air in January next year.
