For the first time, the format of a TV show had to be changed as Katrina Kaif couldn’t manage to speak Hindi, reports Ranjib Mazumder

It is a bit of a surprise to hear of a channel reworking the entire format of its prime-time show to accommodate a star guest. But with Katrina being there, it seems that anything is possible.

Just ask Sajid Khan, who is hosting a show called Sajid’s Superstars, on a private television channel.

Sajid, who turned director last year, has left no stone unturned to ensure that his show gets to grab the TRPs. He had got quite a few ‘big’ names from the film industry — Anil Kapoor, Farah Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Vidya Balan, Shahid Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt — to come as guests on his show for a candid heart-to-heart conversation with him.

Things were sailing smoothly till Kat baby came along.

How? Well, the format of the show required the guests and the host to interact in Hindi and this where all the trouble started. When Katrina came on the show, stuttered with her Hindi yet again and could never get her lines right.

She finally requested Sajid to switch to English.

Reveals a unit member, “Katrina could not express herself properly on the show because she does not know Hindi that well. She was feeling very uncomfortable. So, she requested Sajid to conduct the show in English. The language of the show was changed immediately keeping her star status in mind.”
