Madhuri Dixit is all set to take on a new role as the host of Kon Honar Crorepati, and the actor says it was the people, their stories and their dreams that drew her to the popular quiz show.

Explaining what made her say yes to Kon Honar Crorepati, Madhuri said, “What excited me immediately was wanting to connect with people through their stories and their dreams.

After years of entertaining audiences as an actor, dancer and performer, Madhuri says the show will allow viewers to see a more spontaneous side of her.

“I think audiences will see a more spontaneous side of me with Kon Honar Crorepati. As an actor, you step into a character, whereas here I get to simply be myself, sitting across from people, hearing their stories and getting to know them,” she said.

For Madhuri, the show is about more than the questions and prize money. She added, “For me, the show is not just about questions and answers, but also about the dreams, emotions, laughter and surprises that come with every contestant. I’m someone who enjoys conversations, so I’m looking forward to these real, unpredictable interactions and hopefully sharing those special moments with the contestants and the audience.”
