Karisma and Kareena on Dus Ka Dum
With Salman Khan refusing to use his clout to get his colleagues to make an appearance on 10 Ka Dum, the show still has no celebrities on board
With Salman Khan refusing to pull strings to bring in fellow actors for the second season of 10 ka Dum, a popular game show that he hosts on Sony, the channel is having a tough time roping in celebrities on their own.
A source said, The makers have approached actors like Ajay Devgan and Kajol, Sanjay Dutt with wife Manyata, Bipasha Basu, Mallika Sherawat, Shilpa Shetty, Anil Kapoor and Sonam to appear as guests on 10 Ka Dum, however they still have not got confirmations from any of them.
In the last season, many of the stars like, Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone, Govinda-David Dhawan had willingly agreed to be part of the show because of the good relations they shared with Salman Khan. However, with the actor no longer being in the picture, they all want to be paid to make an appearance. The source elaborated, the norm is that celebs don’t charge the channel for making an appearance. They also don’t take the money they win in the game show back home they always donate it to a charitable organization. But this time round, none of the actors are interested in making an appearance for free. They are quoting a high sum, between Rs 30 to 40 lakh. However, the budget of the show doesnt permits this. So, now the channel has approached Sohail Khan, Salman’s brother to put in a word to the actors. As a backup plan, they have also approached a lot of small-time actors, who will be more than willing to share the stage with Salman free of cost.
But now the buzz is that Bollywood’s lovely Kapoor sisters, Karisma and Kareena, are confirmed guests to kick off the first episode of the game show’s second season on Monday.
A source close to the Kapoor girls admitted, “They were approached by the channel. Karisma is busy tending to her daughter Samaira and Kareena’s occupied with professional commitments, but still — the two sisters readily agreed to go on the show because they are fond of Salman. Both girls have always declined invitations by reality shows earlier to appear together... but for Salman’s sake, they made an exception.”
Besides Kareena’s fondness for Salman, the two are also co-stars in Main Aur Mrs Khanna, which is also why she decided to be part of Sallu’s show. In the last season, the actor had used his considerable goodwill in Bollywood to get stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone and Aamir Khan and nephew Imran to appear on his show. This time round, rumours are that he isn’t exerting his pull to do so, and the channel was approaching the stars on its own.
