India’s television industry has come a long way from the very first talk show Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan, hosted by Tabassum, to the latest Satyamev Jayate.

The king of Bollywood started off his acting career with TV serial ‘Fauji’. However, when he decided to make an appearance on small screen after achieving stardom on the silver screen, he replaced Amitabh Bachchan in Kaun Banega Crorepati’s Season 3 as the host of the show.
