Teenage tennis sensation Sania Mirza will soon be in front of mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan on the small screen.Yes, Sania is the special guest on Bachchan’s KBC2 Children Day episode, to be aired on November 13.And along with Sania on the hot seat will be former Miss Universe Lara Dutta ."I must say it was a good experience," Bachchan said about the latest celebrity special on his game show.Revealing details of the unexpected synthesis of sports and cinema, Star's COO Samir Nair said, "We've got Sania and Lara together as a Children's day special. Why these two? Well, Sania needs no justification. She's a youth icon, and though she's the queen of endorsements, she needs no endorsement. Getting her on the hot seat was a challenge, and we proved equal to it."
"We needed a spunky spirited woman of today to complement Sania on the hot seat. Lara fitted the bill perfectly. She's young articulate and intelligent. They're very very watchable together. Both Lara and Sania represent the spirit of youth and are role models for kids this children's day. Like Sania , Lara started very young. She became Miss Universe when she was in her teens. Ask Mr. Bachchan, Lara and Sania are dynamite together." The Children's Say special to be telecast on Sunday November 13, has many interesting interludes, not only with the two star guests but also with their respective families. Nair added, "Sania's father is on the show along with her mother and sister. Everyone always wanted to know what Mr. Mirza is like. Mr. Bachchan finds out for us. AB talks quite extensively with Sania's dad about many subjects including her money."Sania's dad reveals how expensive it's for the star-daughter's entourage to be carted from one international venue for the game to another. "But the best part of the show is the chemistry between the two ladies…very very appealing." How much prize money do the dynamic duo finally obtain? No one's telling. But Sania and Lara apparently go up to the grand 1 crore prize ,and then lose money by giving the wrong answer.Star has at least two more celebrity specials lined up this season on KBC 2. Hrithik Roshan will appear with Priyanka Chopra , and if all goes well, we'll see Abhishek Bachchan on the hotseat with the mega-anchor in the grand finale of KBC. But for that the junior Bachchan needs to get over his nervousness about the experience.
