The country’s leading designers give SRK styling tips for his TV comeback.

The race for dressing up Shah Rukh Khan for ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ is hotting up.  We asked some of country’s leading designers to reveal what look they’d like to give King Khan.

Surily Goel
KBC is a very formal show. Unless they are changing the format drastically wherein Shah Rukh could break free and dress in more casual outfit, for the present format I think he is best suited in well cut jackets and suits. Shah Rukh looks great in suits.

No one can touch Amitabh Bachchan and the way he dressed for the show. For a high profile show like this one, a jacket is a must.  He should ideally be dressed in a trendy or classic suit, but the shirt and necktie look that he had in ‘Don’ definitely won’t work here. I can never imagine him in Indian wear, so it is a definite no-no.

Arjun Khanna
I would like to see him in very chic and suave clothes, but definitely not casual wear. I would have also given him Indian wear, not too ethnic but something of a mix with very subtle embroidery. I would want him to experiment and dress up differently for every episode.

Aki Narula
I loved what Amitabh Bachchan wore but for the fact that he stuck to dark colours. For Shah Rukh Khan, I would give him a washed linen suit and Madras check jackets in lighter colours for summer. For winters I would give him darker colours like Olive green and also perhaps a cravat to go with the suit.

Anna Singh
I feel that SRK’s look should not be inspired by what Mr Bachchan wore. SRK should experiment and try his hand at various clothes - more so on semi-formals. Above all, his look should be identifiable and relate to audiences, as KBC is a people’s show.
