Shah Rukh Khan is back on TV to host television’s biggest entertainer ever, ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?’ It is a show, which has adult contestants testing their wits with a group of sprightly 10-year-olds.

Excited about hosting ‘Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?’, Shah Rukh Khan says, “I was very keen to do this show because of the educational aspect attached to it, which has been an integral part our culture. Once the decision was made, Star Plus was the only television platform I could think, that could take me to every single television home in this country.”

Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? is a television game show based on the international Mark Burnett format ‘Are you smarter than a 5th grader?’ where grade school level questions are put to adults from all walks of life, who are well heeled and confident and who attempt to relive school with success. The format originated in the United States, has launched successfully in 50 countries, and will now hit Indian television, courtesy Bulldog Media & Entertainment.

The essence of the show is the test that adults will be put to answer primary school questions, the pressure of going back to school and keeping their reputations intact. Even the likes of 2008 presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Rudy Guiliani have turned down the offer to be the on show as contestants. Such is the pressure!
First time on Indian television, viewers will witness contestants win this whopping sum – Five Crores to answer up to Fifth Standard questions, just imagine…
