Bingo 'Paa's Starry Game

He's feisty, sassy, naughtily wicked and gifted with an infectious sense of humour. All of that should enable Abhishek Bachchan to emerge as a telly anchor to reckon with for his game show, 'IDEA National Bingo Night' (Colors).

Bachchan Jr explains, "In Housie, you have numbers from 1 to 99, and in 'Bingo' we have numbers from 1 to 75 only. Anybody who sits in front of the TV can play and win lakhs of rupees. It would seem very boring if I just read out the number on a ball and so we decided to spice up the game show a bit."

Enabling that mission with some starry assistance are Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan, Deepika Padukone, Farhan Akhtar, Vindoo Dara Singh and other celebs. "They're my friends, "admits Abhishek." So I wanted them to come on my show, relax and have some fun!."

One episode has the classy Kirrron Kher playing badminton with Bachchan Boy! "She's been my badminton partner," says Aby Boy." And for those who don't know, she was a badminton champion earlier."

Quite a racket here, folks
