KAPPS - APRIL 25TH 2008
EP01 – A
Hold on to your hearts, because the time, which everyone has been waiting for so impatiently, has come.
“Today is a great day in TV history.”
“Today Shahrukh Khan ji’s class will start.”
“Today at 8 pm.”
“On star Plus.”
“Everyone watch Paanchvi Pass.”
Everyone’s eyes are on Paanchvi Pass. King Khan also feels a little of that expectation.
SRK: This is the first time that India has a show like this. So may people don’t even know what kind of a show it is. Will it be good or bad, will it work or not, that’s what I'm nervous about.
“Shahrukh please can I come on Paanchvi Pass?”
Hussain: “I’m actually very eagerly waiting to see the show. It's going to be difficult for sure.”
Boman: “I think you’ll be a great hit with the children. You're the best.”
Before we started the class, Shahrukh and our 5 kids prayed together. No one wants to miss TV’s unique show. So everyone wants to reach home before it starts.
“I want to reach home early so I can watch Shahrukh’s show. And I'm stuck in traffic.
“We have to reach home before 8 pm.”
The shutters have come down and the streets are empty. Only a few minutes left for 8 pm.
10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…0.
Song….
SRK: From today, kids’ books will be read by adults, kids’ questions will be thought over by adults, adults will do homework from today and there will be classes for adults too because from today I’ll be taking you all to the world of school.
Thank you everyone! Thank you very much. So a very good evening India and Pakistan, namaste London and America and salaam to the whole world. I’m Shahrukh Khan.
From childhood I've dreamed of becoming a teacher but became an actor. But that didn’t stop me. I kept on trying to become a teacher and in the film Mohabbatein I got the opportunity to become one. You all may remember that in that film I taught less and played the violin more. But today my wish has been fulfilled and I've become the teacher of this unique class where I will be asking all of you….are you smarter than a 5th grader? If you are, this class is just for you. Here you won't get degrees like MA, MBA, MBBS but your dreams will come true. And that too so easily you won’t believe it!
Here you will be asked kid questions from kids’ books of only the 1st to 5th grades. But this game is not child’s play and nor is it just for kids. These sweet, innocent kids of my class are a very important part of it because those you consider kids will be the ones to help you win the prize amount that has never before been seen or won in the history of Indian TV. Not one, or two, or three, or four, but 5 crore rupees.
I won't waste any more time, let me introduce you to those 5 experts who hold the key to your 5 crores. Everybody put your hands together for my five kids. these are the kids who will help everyone with their answers.
The first one is Anubhav. Anubhav tell our class a little about you.
A: My name is Anubhav Motilal and everyone calls me Anubhai because I'm the strongest in my class.
SRK: Wow! And what are your hobbies?
A: I like to dance and sing Rap songs.
SRK: Ok, why don’t you dance for our audience? Everybody, let's hear it for Anubhav!
A: I’m doing this especially for you.
SRK: Thank you very much.
A: On your song.
SRK: Ok, Thank you again very much. Go!
(Dances to DED)
SRK: Thank you, Anubhav. Fantastic. Next to Anubhav is Sriparna.
S: My name is Sriparna Ghoshal and my hobbies are painting, swimming, dancing but my most favorite hobby is talking and sleeping. I talk so much that no one else gets a chance.
SRK: Great! Let's hear it for Sriparna. In front of her is my ‘Harry’ boy, little Dhairya.
D: Hi, my name is Dhairya and my hobbies are painting and drawing.
SRK: And next to him is sweet princess is Shriya, Shiru.
S: Hi my name is Shriya Sharma and everyone calls me Shiru and cutie. My hobbies are dancing, swimming, skating and reading books and I'm very sure that one day I’ll be Shahrukh bhaiyya’s princess.
SRK: Shriya you already are my princess. Right there sits my Milanjeet, Milli. Milli how are you?
M: I’m fine and you?
SRK: I’m fine too but a little nervous since this is the 1st day.
M: You shouldn’t be nervous at all.
SRK: Why?
M: Because you have the main part.
SRK: That’s why I'm nervous.
And now we are going to bring the classmate who will be the contestant. Shall I call her? Ok, let's call our contestant for today. Her name is Vidula Ramalakshmi. Welcome. Vidula. Good to have you here Ms. Doctor. I've heard you're a PhD and you're from Jharsuguda, Orissa. We have a photo of you as a kid. You were very beautiful then as you are now. Do you remember any answers you learnt in those days?
V: No, because it's been 30 years. We studied 4 subjects then….language, math, geography and science, nothing else.
SRK: That’s it? I won’t ask you very tough questions, only 5th grade questions from 10 subjects. You think you’ll win 5 crores?
V: Definitely.
SRK: Let me quickly go over the rules now. You will be presented with 10 questions from 10 subjects of 1st to 5th grade material. So they’ll all be in front of you in different colors and categories. You can choose any category you want. The minute you give the right answer to the 1st question, say you choose class2 math or astronomy, you answer it right and you get Rs. 10,000. For the 2nd question you’ll get Rs. 20,000 and thus you’ll climb our money tree till you reach 1 crore rupees for answering 10 questions. After that will come our big question for 5 crores. We won't show you the question, we’ll only tell you the category and if you feel confident you can answer it or leave at that point with the money you’ve earned till then. You can quit this game any time you want to, But! The one who leaves will be called what, kids? Yes, a coward. You're a teacher I’m sure you won’t leave or kids at home will think it's ok to leave school. Through this show we want everyone to realize how important education is. So please don’t quit, give it your best shot.
But promise me one thing, it’s a small promise, that you’ll say…I Vidula, PhD, doctor, gold medalist, I know everything, but…I'm not smarter than a 5th grader. Very good, I like your confidence Vidula. So we’ll start the game. First you have to choose one classmate who will help you with the answers.
V: Sriparna.
EP01 - B
SRK: Ok, Sriparna. Sriparna talks a lot but she also knows all the answers. So let's not waste time, let’s see if Vidula is smarter than a 5th grader or not. You have all the subjects in front of you, choose one quickly.
V: Class 2 Math.
SRK: All the best, Vidula. Let's have the question for class 2 Math for Rs. 10,000.
True or false: There are 9 edges in a triangular prism.
Sriparna has cued in her answer, PhD Vidula is still thinking.
V: The bottom is a square so 4 edges, and 4 triangles on top so that’s 4 more edges….
SRK: You're allowed to cheat 3 ways. Although we don’t want any kid to cheat at home or school, there are 3 cheats.
The first is Peek; you can look at your partner’s answer and decide if you want to go along with that answer.
The 2nd cheat is Copy; you can copy whatever your partner has chosen. That can't be changed.
The 3rd cheat is Help: if you’ve written the wrong answer and Sriparna has written the right one, that little kid, who doesn’t even reach your knees, can save you.
V: There can’t be 9, there can only be 8 or 6. False!
SRK: You want to say False? Then fix it. Vidula, why are you shutting your ears?
V: So I can't hear if I'm wrong.
SRK: Then I’ll tell you through your nose whether you're right or wrong. Your husband is also here? Where is he? Namaskar, how are you? Do you think Vidula gave the right answer?
Hubby: I'm confused too. Both of us are weak at Math.
SRK: Your son is with you? Son, how are you at Math?
Son: I'm just ok. Satisfactory.
SRK: Wow the whole family is weak at Math. Than answer you gave is totally wrong Vidula.
V: Wrong?
SRK: Yes, wrong. You said False, the answer is True. So now if you're wrong, your game ends here. Now only one thing can save you. If this sweet, innocent girl Sriparna has the right answer, she can save you. So hope and pray she’s right. Can we have Sriparna’s answer on the board please? She wrote True! Very well done! A prism has 5 faces and 6 vertices so they have 9 edges. You got a bit confused; the whole family is weak in Math, no problem. Now you can go to the Rs.20, 000 question. You have 2 cheats left. You have 9 subjects left. Please choose one.
S: You should choose Astronomy.
V: Should I? Ok, class 2 Astronomy.
Which is the biggest planet…Jupiter, Venus or Saturn.
V: Sarurn has the rings around it, so it can't be large….
SRK: Saturn has rings so it can't be large?
V: Well it has those rings around it….
SRK: Don’t answer till you're certain because the Save cheat is over. Now don’t you feel we trouble the poor kids too much? From today we’ll have an increased respect for kids.
V: Definitely. I say Jupiter.
SRK: Confident? If you're wrong you can't be saved. You can fix the answer if you're sure.
Maybe you don’t know that Satrun has rings but it’s still very big. Why didn’t you choose it?
V: I thought it would be Jupiter.
SRK: You do know that your game ends if you're wrong? You’re right for Rs. 20,000! Fantastic! Very good Vidula! You’ve finished 2 questions and you have Rs. 20,000. Let me give you the bad news 1st. Each child can only help you with 2 questions. So Sriparna will have to go. Thank you, Sriparna. The good news is that you can choose from the other 4 kids.
V: Anubhav.
SRK: C’mon Anubhav, quickly. Ok, now quickly choose a category.
V: Which one, Anubhav?
A: Monuments and Places, Plant Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, or General Knowledge.
V: Ok, Class 1 Monuments and Places.
SRK: Ok Vidula, for Rs. 50,000…In which city was the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan buried?
V: Shah Jahan had made the Taj Mahal for his wife and next to it is his own burial place too so it’s Uttar Agra.
SRK: You mean North Agra?
V: No, I mean the answer is Agra. (Uttar – North/answer).
SRK: Sorry. You want to fix that answer for 50,000? Are you confident? Ok. You want to see what the kids wrote? Let's see what they wrote….Taj Mahal, Agra. If all of them have said so, it must be right. You're absolutely right. 50,000 rupees, very well done! But now your tension must have built up. Whenever I was tensed in the classroom I used to raise my hand and say Miss, can I go outside for a while?
V: Miss, can we go out for a while?
SRK: Ok, let's take a short break but when we come back I hope you win 5 crores. Those of you at home, I would like you all to win a prize for doing some homework Here’s the homework in the form of a question. Send us your answers quick and win 1 crore rupees. Each episode will have 2 questions for 1 crore each.
Today’s 1st question is…
EP01 – C:
Welcome back to Airtel Presents KAPPS. With me in my class is Dr. Vidula who has won Rs. 50,000 so far and is trying to win 1 lakh now. You feeling good? Let's see how much money you earn with your Ph.D. which category now?

Which of the following is the part of the seed that develops into the root….Radicle, Petiole or Lamina?
SRK: Just to let you know that all these kids have fixed their answers. I can see their answers and they are right. Professor saab, I don’t think your son will want to learn from you. What do you want to do? You have the cheats Peek and Copy or you can answer it.
V: I want to Peek.
SRK: You want to cheat from a kid?
V: What can I do?
SRK: Ok, first you have to fix that you want to Peek so you can't back out and say that you want to cheat from a little kid. Ok, when she’s asking so nicely let her Peek. His answer is Radicle. It's your decision, Vidula. You can take this answer or you can give your own.
V: So I can give my own answer too?
SRK: You’ve only peeked. So you can decide to take it or leave it.
V: So…Radicle….
SRK: Why are you making a face?
V: I'm asking Anubhav if it's right.
A: What do I know, the computer knows it all.
V: Class 3 kids learn all this?
SRK: Looks like this one does. What do you want to do?
V: I’ll fix Radicle.
SRK: You have no idea what the answer is? If you had to choose some other answer which would it be?
V: I think I would have chosen Radicle.
SRK: Why?
V: I don’t know, I just felt it's the right answer.
A: Let's get on with it, fast.
SRK: Oh, he's getting tired. Ok let me tell you that Anubhav, like always, is correct. You have 1 lakh rupees for the right answer.
V: Thank you child, than you very much.
SRK: Now you have 1 crore rupees and I think Anubhav has helped you with 2 questions? He has to go back. Please choose another kid. You go back, and don’t get up till I tell you too. Please choose another kid and you have one cheat left.
V: Milanjeet.
SRK: Milamjeet, c’mon. Chak de phatte! This kid is very smart, he’ll help you a lot. But he’s smart only when you choose the next category for 2 lakh rupees and show him your question.
M: I think you should choose Geography.
V: Ok, Class 1 Geography.
SRK: Before I reveal the question let me tell you that 2 lakhs is the minimum you can take home with you.
In terms of average depth which is the deepest ocean in the world?
Milanjeet is writing his answer. Which is the deepest, Vidula? Can you name them first? Hey Milanjeet, shush. She's a teacher too and you'll have to go to her for your Ph.D. But right now she's learning from you.
V: Pacific Ocean, Indian, Arctic, Antarctic….is there a Pacific ocean?
SRK: You're asking me? Ok. I’ll tell you right now. If you were their teacher and they asked you the answer, would you tell them?
V: No.
SRK: So how can I help you during the exam? Time is running out, you still have the Copy cheat left. You can copy, take a chance or fix your answer.
V: Copy…..
SRK: I’m all tensed up too.
V: I’ll copy.
SRK: If you had to answer, what would you have said?
V: Pacific Ocean.
SRK: If you had said Pacific Ocean you would have been…..right! But, if Milanjeet’s answer is not Pacific Ocean your game will unfortunately end here and you’ll go home empty handed. So pray that he wrote the right answer. Can we see Milanjeet’s answer?
SRK: Yes! He wrote the right answer. Give him a hug. Very good! You’ve got 2 lakh rupees, Vidula. That’s the minimum you’ll win.
V: That means I definitely have at least this much?
SRK: Yes, You have minimum 2 lakhs. It's been very tense here, I think It’s tiffin time. so ladies and gentlemen, please take a short tiffin break and come back soon because Vidula has reached the 2 lakh mark. But before you leave, here’s the 2nd question for your homework.
EP01 – D:
Welcome back to our unique classroom. I’m playing the game here wih Vidula Ramalakshmi who has a PhD in Hindi from Jharsuguda, Orissa. She teaches, is very intelligent and has won 2 lakhs and played very well. But her cheats are over. It means that Milanjeet, my cute kid will have to go back. Thank you Milan for being with us.
Midula, just as I said, you don’t have any cheats left so the kids cannot help you any more. They can only help you with the cheats, 2 questions each. So the kids’ participation is over for you. Now we go to the 2nd phase for 5 lakhs. Now you have 5 categories left so please choose one quickly.
V: Class 3 Indian history.
SRK: For 5 lakhs, please show Vidula the question.
During which British ruler’s reign was the capital of India shifted to Delhi from Kolkata?
V: Even if the answer is wrong….
SRK: You'll still have 2 lakhs, you won't get 5 lakhs and the game will be over since all your cheats are gone. What do you want to do? You can run away with the 2 lakhs or….just try out some names. Which British rulers’ names do you know?
V: There was Queen Victoria during the East India Company….
SRK: Say it out loud.
V: In 1857 the East India Company was no more and India had become a British colony.
SRK: What is your answer?
V: Queen Victoria.
SRK: Then fix it.
V: I can't think of any other answer.
SRK: Your answer is Queen Victoria for 5 lakhs. If this is wrong you get a minimum of 2 lakhs and if you're right you of course get 5 lakhs. This is I think the 1st question you answered without the kids’ help.
V: Yes.
SRK: Ok kids, show us what you’ve written? Can we have their answers? George V. your answer was Victoria but George V is the right answer. So let's hear it for the kids.
But you played very well, you entertained us, you smiled for us, now you have to look into that camera and say….Jharsuguda’s school kids, including the Principal, I, Vidula Ramalakshmi, PhD, gold medalist…what other degrees do you have?
V: That’s more than enough for what I have to say.
SRK: So tell the world that you are all that but not smarter than a 5th grader.
V: I, Vidula Ramalakshmi, though I have a doctorate in Hindi, have to say that everyone cannot know everything, and if I don’t know this stuff, then I'm not smarter than a 5th grader.
SRK: Thank you very much Vidula for coming her and participating, and for smiling. You played very well. C’mon kids let's hear it for Vidula once. Thank you very much, all the best in life, have a very good life, and all the happiness to you from Panchvi Pass.
The 2nd participant of the 1st class on the first day is 19 year old English trainer Pramod Kumar Tripathi from Indore. Everyone put your hands together please.
P: Good evening sir.
SRK: You look very happy to be here, you're full of energy.
P: I feel a million times happier than what you must be feeling.
SRK: Thank you Pramod, and I’ll feel even happier if you win 5 crores. We have a childhood photo of yours. You look very smart and honest.
P: No, I look like a cartoon.
SRK: No you don’t look like a cartoon, you just look a bit healthier now. Your hair is like a hero’s now, there your mom has pressed your hair down. So you teach English, and he has started a new way of singing Hindi songs. He sings Hindi songs in English. So can you sing one for us?
P: Sir, not only do I sing Hindi songs in English, I also sing the English rap part in Hindi. Here's an example…
SRK: So we have a new type of rappist on our show today. Ok start.
SRK: Yo dude, you're very cool, man. Yo, yo, yo. Ok yo, Pramodo, I won't repeat the rules since you know them already and our audience does too, so quickly choose a partner to help you, then we’ll see how yo yo you are in answering.
P: Shriya will play with me.
SRK: Shriya, Shiru, c’mon Shriya, come here. This is pretty princess Shriya. She's very smart, very intelligent, and very sweet. So she’ll help you cheat very well. But you have to make a deal with me. if you don’t win 5 crores, you'll have to look into that camera in front of Indore and the whole country, whole world - this show is watched by 56 million folks - and say I, Pramod Tripathi from Indore, being an English trainer and thinking myself quite smart, am not smarter than a 5th grader.
P: Definitely, I’ll do that…
SRK: Let's do a rehearsal. Look into the camera. It can put a lot of grownups to shame.
P: I don’t want to rehearse. I’ll get tensed up if I rehearse. Why should I say it now, we’ll see when it happens.
SRK: Ok, then say I – I’ll tell you about it when you win – just say I, Pramod Tripathi, am an English trainer and I can definitely say I'm smarter than a 5th grader. I am, am, am. Look into that camera and say.
P: I, Pramod Tripathi, am an expert in English, and I can say with complete assurance that I'm smarter than a 5th grader. I am, am, am.
SRK: Yo, yo, yo. Let's see, Airtel Presents are you smarter than a 5th grader or not. Let's start. Choose a category for 10, 000 rupees.
P: I’ll go with Shriya, class 1 English.
SRK: Please show the question for 10, 000 rupees.
True or false: the English name for the sacred Tulsi plant is Basil.
I don’t know the right pronunciation myself. Shriya has fixed her answer. What do you think?
P: I’ll go with her, I also think the right answer is Basil.
SRK: You said it with a lot of confidence. You know it that well?
P: Yes. Shriya is with me.
SRK: You are right for 10, 000 rupees. You're playing very well. Let me quickly ask you the next question. Ohhh! The bell has rung. This is the only school where you feel sad when the bell rings for dismissal. But don’t worry, you go to sleep here for the night, on top of the desk, and tomorrow evening we’ll start the questions again. Shriya, go sit down and you’ll get your turn again tomorrow.
This was our first show. We’ll be here every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm, we’ll tell you to study and go forth. When school is over, it's a teacher’s duty to tell a story to the kids. So let me quickly tell you a story. This is called The Stories of Khan and I hope you will learn something from them. If you learn something, good, if not, even better. The name of this story is “how to stay on top” because parents always tell kids to be on top in studies, in sports. So let me tell you the story of how I was on top.
Long ago, when I was studying in school, I was always on top. In my class too, I was on top. Every teacher of every subject kept me on top of the class. You want to know how? As soon as the teacher entered the classroom she would look at my face and say Shahrukh! You forgot to do your homework again? C’mon stand on top of the bench.
Kids: That was a lame joke.
SRK: Ok, I’m sorry, my kids feel this is a lame joke so you must know by now how terrible my jokes will be on this show. But you must have at least learnt that if you come on this show and play the game, your knowledge will increase and maybe your bank balance too. So we’ll be there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm. So 30 hours later, we’ll be there tomorrow and since it's tomorrow, we won't say Alvida (goodbye), we’ll say Kalvida (Kal – tomorrow).

You're a teacher I’m sure you won’t leave or kids at home will think it's ok to leave school. Through this show we want everyone to realize how important education is. So please don’t quit, give it your best shot.
But promise me one thing, it’s a small promise, that you’ll say…I Vidula, PhD, doctor, gold medalist, I know everything, but…I'm not smarter than a 5th grader. Very good, I like your confidence Vidula. So we’ll start the game. First you have to choose one classmate who will help you with the answers.
V: Sriparna.
EP01 - B
SRK: Ok, Sriparna. Sriparna talks a lot but she also knows all the answers. So let's not waste time, let’s see if Vidula is smarter than a 5th grader or not. You have all the subjects in front of you, choose one quickly.
V: Class 2 Math.
SRK: All the best, Vidula. Let's have the question for class 2 Math for Rs. 10,000.
True or false: There are 9 edges in a triangular prism.
Sriparna has cued in her answer, PhD Vidula is still thinking.
V: The bottom is a square so 4 edges, and 4 triangles on top so that’s 4 more edges….
SRK: You're allowed to cheat 3 ways. Although we don’t want any kid to cheat at home or school, there are 3 cheats.
The first is Peek; you can look at your partner’s answer and decide if you want to go along with that answer.
The 2nd cheat is Copy; you can copy whatever your partner has chosen. That can't be changed.
The 3rd cheat is Help: if you’ve written the wrong answer and Sriparna has written the right one, that little kid, who doesn’t even reach your knees, can save you.
V: There can’t be 9, there can only be 8 or 6. False!
SRK: You want to say False? Then fix it. Vidula, why are you shutting your ears?
V: So I can't hear if I'm wrong.
SRK: Then I’ll tell you through your nose whether you're right or wrong. Your husband is also here? Where is he? Namaskar, how are you? Do you think Vidula gave the right answer?
Hubby: I'm confused too. Both of us are weak at Math.
SRK: Your son is with you? Son, how are you at Math?
Son: I'm just ok. Satisfactory.
SRK: Wow the whole family is weak at Math. Than answer you gave is totally wrong Vidula.
V: Wrong?
SRK: Yes, wrong. You said False, the answer is True. So now if you're wrong, your game ends here. Now only one thing can save you. If this sweet, innocent girl Sriparna has the right answer, she can save you. So hope and pray she’s right. Can we have Sriparna’s answer on the board please? She wrote True! Very well done! A prism has 5 faces and 6 vertices so they have 9 edges. You got a bit confused; the whole family is weak in Math, no problem. Now you can go to the Rs.20, 000 question. You have 2 cheats left. You have 9 subjects left. Please choose one.
S: You should choose Astronomy.
V: Should I? Ok, class 2 Astronomy.
Which is the biggest planet…Jupiter, Venus or Saturn.
V: Sarurn has the rings around it, so it can't be large….
SRK: Saturn has rings so it can't be large?
V: Well it has those rings around it….
SRK: Don’t answer till you're certain because the Save cheat is over. Now don’t you feel we trouble the poor kids too much? From today we’ll have an increased respect for kids.
V: Definitely. I say Jupiter.
SRK: Confident? If you're wrong you can't be saved. You can fix the answer if you're sure.
Maybe you don’t know that Satrun has rings but it’s still very big. Why didn’t you choose it?
V: I thought it would be Jupiter.
SRK: You do know that your game ends if you're wrong? You’re right for Rs. 20,000! Fantastic! Very good Vidula! You’ve finished 2 questions and you have Rs. 20,000. Let me give you the bad news 1st. Each child can only help you with 2 questions. So Sriparna will have to go. Thank you, Sriparna. The good news is that you can choose from the other 4 kids.
V: Anubhav.
SRK: C’mon Anubhav, quickly. Ok, now quickly choose a category.
V: Which one, Anubhav?
A: Monuments and Places, Plant Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, or General Knowledge.
V: Ok, Class 1 Monuments and Places.
SRK: Ok Vidula, for Rs. 50,000…In which city was the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan buried?
V: Shah Jahan had made the Taj Mahal for his wife and next to it is his own burial place too so it’s Uttar Agra.
SRK: You mean North Agra?
V: No, I mean the answer is Agra. (Uttar – North/answer).
SRK: Sorry. You want to fix that answer for 50,000? Are you confident? Ok. You want to see what the kids wrote? Let's see what they wrote….Taj Mahal, Agra. If all of them have said so, it must be right. You're absolutely right. 50,000 rupees, very well done! But now your tension must have built up. Whenever I was tensed in the classroom I used to raise my hand and say Miss, can I go outside for a while?
V: Miss, can we go out for a while?
SRK: Ok, let's take a short break but when we come back I hope you win 5 crores. Those of you at home, I would like you all to win a prize for doing some homework Here’s the homework in the form of a question. Send us your answers quick and win 1 crore rupees.

V: I want to Peek.
SRK: You want to cheat from a kid?
V: What can I do?
SRK: Ok, first you have to fix that you want to Peek so you can't back out and say that you want to cheat from a little kid. Ok, when she’s asking so nicely let her Peek. His answer is Radicle. It's your decision, Vidula. You can take this answer or you can give your own.
V: So I can give my own answer too?
SRK: You’ve only peeked. So you can decide to take it or leave it.
V: So…Radicle….
SRK: Why are you making a face?
V: I'm asking Anubhav if it's right.
A: What do I know, the computer knows it all.
V: Class 3 kids learn all this?
SRK: Looks like this one does. What do you want to do?
V: I’ll fix Radicle.
SRK: You have no idea what the answer is? If you had to choose some other answer which would it be?
V: I think I would have chosen Radicle.
SRK: Why?
V: I don’t know, I just felt it's the right answer.
A: Let's get on with it, fast.
SRK: Oh, he's getting tired. Ok let me tell you that Anubhav, like always, is correct. You have 1 lakh rupees for the right answer.
V: Thank you child, than you very much.
SRK: Now you have 1 crore rupees and I think Anubhav has helped you with 2 questions? He has to go back. Please choose another kid. You go back, and don’t get up till I tell you too. Please choose another kid and you have one cheat left.

M: I think you should choose Geography.
V: Ok, Class 1 Geography.
SRK: Before I reveal the question let me tell you that 2 lakhs is the minimum you can take home with you.

Milanjeet is writing his answer. Which is the deepest, Vidula? Can you name them first? Hey Milanjeet, shush. She's a teacher too and you'll have to go to her for your Ph.D. But right now she's learning from you.
V: Pacific Ocean, Indian, Arctic, Antarctic….is there a Pacific ocean?
SRK: You're asking me? Ok. I’ll tell you right now. If you were their teacher and they asked you the answer, would you tell them?
V: No.
SRK: So how can I help you during the exam? Time is running out, you still have the Copy cheat left. You can copy, take a chance or fix your answer.
V: Copy…..
SRK: I’m all tensed up too.
V: I’ll copy.
SRK: If you had to answer, what would you have said?

SRK: Yes! He wrote the right answer. Give him a hug. Very good! You’ve got 2 lakh rupees, Vidula. That’s the minimum you’ll win.
V: That means I definitely have at least this much?
SRK: Yes, You have minimum 2 lakhs. It's been very tense here, I think It’s tiffin time. so ladies and gentlemen, please take a short tiffin break and come back soon because Vidula has reached the 2 lakh mark. But before you leave, here’s the 2nd question for your homework.
EP01 – D:
Welcome back to our unique classroom. I’m playing the game here wih Vidula Ramalakshmi who has a PhD in Hindi from Jharsuguda, Orissa. She teaches, is very intelligent and has won 2 lakhs and played very well. But her cheats are over. It means that Milanjeet, my cute kid will have to go back. Thank you Milan for being with us.
Midula, just as I said, you don’t have any cheats left so the kids cannot help you any more. They can only help you with the cheats, 2 questions each. So the kids’ participation is over for you. Now we go to the 2nd phase for 5 lakhs. Now you have 5 categories left so please choose one quickly.
V: Class 3 Indian history.
SRK: For 5 lakhs, please show Vidula the question.
During which British ruler’s reign was the capital of India shifted to Delhi from Kolkata?
V: Even if the answer is wrong….
SRK: You'll still have 2 lakhs, you won't get 5 lakhs and the game will be over since all your cheats are gone. What do you want to do? You can run away with the 2 lakhs or….just try out some names. Which British rulers’ names do you know?
V: There was Queen Victoria during the East India Company….
SRK: Say it out loud.
V: In 1857 the East India Company was no more and India had become a British colony.
SRK: What is your answer?
V: Queen Victoria.
SRK: Then fix it.
V: I can't think of any other answer.
SRK: Your answer is Queen Victoria for 5 lakhs. If this is wrong you get a minimum of 2 lakhs and if you're right you of course get 5 lakhs. This is I think the 1st question you answered without the kids’ help.
V: Yes.
SRK: Ok kids, show us what you’ve written? Can we have their answers? George V. your answer was Victoria but George V is the right answer. So let's hear it for the kids.
But you played very well, you entertained us, you smiled for us, now you have to look into that camera and say….Jharsuguda’s school kids, including the Principal, I, Vidula Ramalakshmi, PhD, gold medalist…what other degrees do you have?
V: That’s more than enough for what I have to say.
SRK: So tell the world that you are all that but not smarter than a 5th grader.
V: I, Vidula Ramalakshmi, though I have a doctorate in Hindi, have to say that everyone cannot know everything, and if I don’t know this stuff, then I'm not smarter than a 5th grader.
SRK: Thank you very much Vidula for coming her and participating, and for smiling. You played very well. C’mon kids let's hear it for Vidula once. Thank you very much, all the best in life, have a very good life, and all the happiness to you from Panchvi Pass.
The 2nd participant of the 1st class on the first day is 19 year old English trainer Pramod Kumar Tripathi from Indore. Everyone put your hands together please.
P: Good evening sir.
SRK: You look very happy to be here, you're full of energy.
P: I feel a million times happier than what you must be feeling.
SRK: Thank you Pramod, and I’ll feel even happier if you win 5 crores. We have a childhood photo of yours. You look very smart and honest.
P: No, I look like a cartoon.
SRK: No you don’t look like a cartoon, you just look a bit healthier now. Your hair is like a hero’s now, there your mom has pressed your hair down. So you teach English, and he has started a new way of singing Hindi songs. He sings Hindi songs in English. So can you sing one for us?
P: Sir, not only do I sing Hindi songs in English, I also sing the English rap part in Hindi. Here's an example…
SRK: So we have a new type of rappist on our show today. Ok start.
SRK: Yo dude, you're very cool, man. Yo, yo, yo. Ok yo, Pramodo, I won't repeat the rules since you know them already and our audience does too, so quickly choose a partner to help you, then we’ll see how yo yo you are in answering.
P: Shriya will play with me.
SRK: Shriya, Shiru, c’mon Shriya, come here. This is pretty princess Shriya. She's very smart, very intelligent, and very sweet. So she’ll help you cheat very well. But you have to make a deal with me. if you don’t win 5 crores, you'll have to look into that camera in front of Indore and the whole country, whole world - this show is watched by 56 million folks - and say I, Pramod Tripathi from Indore, being an English trainer and thinking myself quite smart, am not smarter than a 5th grader.
P: Definitely, I’ll do that…
SRK: Let's do a rehearsal. Look into the camera. It can put a lot of grownups to shame.
P: I don’t want to rehearse. I’ll get tensed up if I rehearse. Why should I say it now, we’ll see when it happens.
SRK: Ok, then say I – I’ll tell you about it when you win – just say I, Pramod Tripathi, am an English trainer and I can definitely say I'm smarter than a 5th grader. I am, am, am. Look into that camera and say.
P: I, Pramod Tripathi, am an expert in English, and I can say with complete assurance that I'm smarter than a 5th grader. I am, am, am.
SRK: Yo, yo, yo. Let's see, Airtel Presents are you smarter than a 5th grader or not. Let's start. Choose a category for 10, 000 rupees.
P: I’ll go with Shriya, class 1 English.
SRK: Please show the question for 10, 000 rupees.
True or false: the English name for the sacred Tulsi plant is Basil.
I don’t know the right pronunciation myself. Shriya has fixed her answer. What do you think?
P: I’ll go with her, I also think the right answer is Basil.
SRK: You said it with a lot of confidence. You know it that well?
P: Yes. Shriya is with me.
SRK: You are right for 10, 000 rupees. You're playing very well. Let me quickly ask you the next question. Ohhh! The bell has rung. This is the only school where you feel sad when the bell rings for dismissal. But don’t worry, you go to sleep here for the night, on top of the desk, and tomorrow evening we’ll start the questions again. Shriya, go sit down and you’ll get your turn again tomorrow.
This was our first show. We’ll be here every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm, we’ll tell you to study and go forth. When school is over, it's a teacher’s duty to tell a story to the kids. So let me quickly tell you a story. This is called The Stories of Khan and I hope you will learn something from them. If you learn something, good, if not, even better. The name of this story is “how to stay on top” because parents always tell kids to be on top in studies, in sports. So let me tell you the story of how I was on top.
Long ago, when I was studying in school, I was always on top. In my class too, I was on top. Every teacher of every subject kept me on top of the class. You want to know how? As soon as the teacher entered the classroom she would look at my face and say Shahrukh! You forgot to do your homework again? C’mon stand on top of the bench.
Kids: That was a lame joke.
SRK: Ok, I’m sorry, my kids feel this is a lame joke so you must know by now how terrible my jokes will be on this show. But you must have at least learnt that if you come on this show and play the game, your knowledge will increase and maybe your bank balance too. So we’ll be there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm. So 30 hours later, we’ll be there tomorrow and since it's tomorrow, we won't say Alvida (goodbye), we’ll say Kalvida (Kal – tomorrow).
