The Chehra actor and TV host talks about his new show and reveals why hosting is such a joy

What is special about your new game show Ghar Ghar Mein?
The show has me and my co-host Manish Paul travelling around the country and meeting families. We then get them to play games and interact with other families. Of course,were also giving away prizes like cash and gold and also world tours.

What is the format of the show?
The first round has us picking one family each of our choice and then getting the family members to compete with each other. The second round is a quiz,where we ask them questions on topics ranging from mythology to business to sports. Then in the third round the two families have a face-off.

What are the games that youre making the competing families play?
For the first round,we have fairly simple games like finding those objects in the house that have one particular shape. Its the third round that has some challenging games. Theres one where we made the captain stand in one place,holding a bucket with holes in it. The rest of the family has to fill up the bucket with water,faster than it can leak out. The family that fills the bucket first wins.

What are the kind of games that you personally prefer?
I like games that have a strong show of rivalry. Of course,these games are meant to be fun and we dont want any bad blood,but if theres a little bit of rivalry,they become that much more fun. The point is that the games shouldnt be easy to win because were giving away pretty substantial prizes. You really have to earn your reward.

You also hosted SaReGaMaPa Spotlight. Your track record would suggest that you have a penchant for hosting shows?
Yeah,I do. I really enjoy working and interacting with people so being a TV show host is perfect for me. Besides,it gives me a chance to make people happy. People get really excited when television personalities visit them at their homes and it gives them a chance to boast to their neighbours. I like to give them that opportunity.
