Hindi TV Serials - Zor Ka Jhatka - A wacky contest show anchored by Shahrukh Khan

With so many Bollywood stars doing shows for TV nowadays, it had seemed a lot of time since Shahrukh Khan was doing a show for TV, and he finally made it back to TV, doing another reality show called 'Zor Ka Jhatka' on NDTV Imagine. Like many other TV shows, it is based on an American reality show called Wipeout. The show is based on water, falls, and crossing a series of obstacles, and most of the contestants fall in the water rather than make it through. The show is co-hosted by Saumya Tandon, who was there at the location for the contest at Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina. Shahrukh Khan is at the studio, not present at the actual site; the show leverages Shahrukh Khan to the extent that he speaks non-stop at whatever is happening in the show. He is apparently paid a huge amount of Rs. 2.5 crore per show, so they better be making more than that for every show.
For each episode, there is a winner who gets an entry into the grand finale. There are a large number of contestants, mostly TV artistes, but others as well. The list of contestants are:
