10 ka dum salman khan starts blogging

Actors like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and even Amithabh Bachchan have started their blogs in order to connect with their fans, to voice their opinions on issues and to clear up controversies in their names.Salman Khan has jumped into the bandwagon.

He has started by writing about his new reality show Dus Ka Dum.Dus Ka Dum is based on the U.S. reality show Power of Ten in which contestants have to guess the results of polls on various questions and walk away with millions if their guesses match accurately the poll results.Salman writes in his blog that he was initially reluctant to take up the show.” I still remember the day when my brother Sohail Khan brought the proposal to anchor a show. I had my reservations.

The idea sounded so impractical that I rejected it even without giving it much thought,” he writes.However he was convinced by his brother Sohail Khan and family friend Ajay Chabria who persisted with great patience.Salman is attracted to the show because, he says “ there is no false shame and sense of humiliation on the show if your answer is wrong. Sample survey has determined the exact answers in form of percentage and the one who answers nearest to the exact answer is the winner.

This game is simple. It is a game of guessing.”Salman also says about himself,” All my decisions are based on my instinct and some people think that I am too moody and cynical. But believe me I have been guided by my instincts, and my heart, all my life! I do not depend too much on intelligence, analysis and calculations…”Salman has thus tried to clear the air with all his critics about his moody and erratic behavior.

salman dus ka dum wiith david dhavan

During one of the mock rehearsals for Sony's game show 10 Ka Dum, Salman invited his very close director friend David Dhawan to play the game. The game was set, Salman opened the show…David took on the role as a participant, peeping into the computer. Salman in his style introduced David and then began the game.Apparently David took time before giving any answer...but what is interesting he always came up with the right answer and moved on to the next question successfully. Salllu then asked David "Boss how come you take so much time before answering but come up with the right one?" David laughed and said "Your game is about common people nah, so I'm taking time to put myself in their situation and think of how would they react. Right now I'm not David Dhawan, I'm the common man"

David played the game till the last leg and won about a crore…. He was just a few percent away from the answer for 10 crores! Watch Salman Khan in 10 Ka Dum, starting June 6, friday -saturday at 9.00 p.m. only on Sony Entertainment Television.
