Shekhar Suman, the badshah of blah has landed on SaharaOne's <em>Dial One</em>…and he has brought with him a tide of change! <em>Dial One</em>…has more interactive segments now, with the first viewer being invited in the studio itself, instead of answering the questions over the telephone lines. The set too has shifted to the opulent grounds of Film City in suburban Mumbai. The rules on the show also have undergone drastic changes. In the show now, the prize money is given to the participant at the outset and then he is asked to defend it --- by answering the questions asked to him.

He is the king of nonsense...he has the gift of the gab, and he makes celebrities do things they would not be caught doing dead on any other show. He has been called the badshah of bullshit, bakwas, bedlam, blah-blah, the king of kitsch - he is all this and much more. Shekhar Suman is one of those successful men whom you can like or dislike, but cannot ignore!|

Punster and the king of gags. Now, Shekhar Suman is angling for the title of melody messiah. The <em>Poll Khol</em> anchor and host of countless chat shows is now crossing borders with a mega musical show for Pakistani channel Geo TV, debuting this month. The show <em>Dhoom Macha De Dhoom</em> is produced by Chitresh Srivastava and is created on the lines of Star Plus' <em>Kismey Kitna Hai Dam</em> by Mumbai based Eyeline Productions and Dubai based Rimjhim Bhagchandi. It will have four girls and four boys in the 16 to 24 age group competing for the honours each time.
