Remember when Shah Rukh Khan hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati? It was back in 2007, for Season 3. And look, a truly incredible moment from that time is popping up online again, getting everyone talking!
Here’s the thing: during one episode, a contestant faced a tough question. They answered incorrectly, losing a whopping Rs 3 lakh. Can you imagine? Their winnings dropped right down to Rs 20,000. That’s a huge blow.
But honestly, what happened next? SRK stepped in. He saw the contestant’s disappointment, right there on the hot seat. So, in a move that shows his incredible warmth, he actually took off his own watch and gifted it to them! Yeah, his own watch. He also gave them a hug, offering words of encouragement.
“Don’t feel bad,” he told them. “I think you played well. You took a chance here, and you still have Rs 20,000. You tried your best and played very well.” What a guy, right?
That Million-Dollar Question
So, what was the question that stumped them? It was about the first Indian company to trade on the US stock exchange NASDAQ-100 index. The correct answer? Infosys Technologies. A tricky one, for sure!

You know, SRK’s time hosting KBC Season 3 in 2007 wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. He faced some serious challenges. The show saw a dip in ratings, and the network even felt financial strains due to high production costs and his remuneration. Comparisons to Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic hosting were tough for anyone.
Why We’re Still Talking About It
But through all that, moments like this one stuck. Clips of SRK’s genuine generosity and warmth continue to resurface online, proving that some gestures truly are unforgettable. It’s a testament to his character, even when the show itself faced difficulties.
And now, thanks to a “Throwback” article by Mid-day on October 7, 2025, this specific event is back in the spotlight. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
