Big B vs Salman Khan - who will rule the idiot box?
Big B vs Salman Khan - who will rule the idiot box?

Both Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan have had a long standing stint in Bollywood and now, the two seem to rule the idiot box.

Big B will once again host the popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati 7 while Salman Khan will be up to his usual antics in Bigg Boss 7.

With his baritone voice and charismatic personality, Amitabh Bachchan's style and his fan following has made the show an instant hit. He was briefly replaced by Shahrukh Khan, but Big B seemed to bounce back. Last year in the opening episode of KBC6, the show raked in a TRP of 6.1. That same time, Salman's show was also to air on another channel and when asked at a press conference about the tussle between KBC and Bigg Boss, he remained elusive and evaded the question.

While Big B may rule the hearts of the masses, Salman hold his own equally when it comes to fan popularity. Salman's unique style of having fun with the contestants while being strict at the same time proved to be a hit for the show. That apart, Salman's way of handling the fights and controversies on the show make it an interesting watch.

This year too, both KBC 7 and Bigg Boss 7 will mark a new season on TV around the same time. While Big B's KBC is expected to bring in a high TRP rating once again, Salman's Bigg Boss with it's theme of Heaven vs. Hell, has generated a lot of curiosity and everyone seems to wonder how different will it be from last year.

While the common man makes his appearance on Big B's show, Salman's show has a list of interesting celebrities this year. Speculations are rife that celebs like Pratyusha Banerjee, Kushal Tandon, Suraj Pancholi and Harbhajan Singh will be a part of the house.

Amitabh Bachchan's show will air Monday-Thursday prime time (8.30pm-9.30pm) while Salman's show will also air on weekdays from Monday-Friday (9-10pm).

Salman's had some staggering hits on the box office but will he be able to hold stiff competition against big B who is an excellent conversationalist?

It remains to be seen if Big B will beat Salman Khan on Television or will it be vice versa? Tell us your views!

KBC is Fri-Sun.. Even though I'm a bigg boss fan, I think KBC will rule. Though bigg boss definitely has more masala, but KBC has a more mass appeal.. Rest hope for the best 😊
