New Delhi: His dimpled smile and witty humour won hearts and made him the king of Bollywood.

But looks like it will take some time before Shah Rukh Khan earned the same status on the small screen.

SRK’s remarks on Maharishi Balmiki on TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati has landed him in a fresh controversy. Activists of a religious group — Bhartiya Balmiki Dharam Samaj — on Wednesday burnt effigies of Khan and the director of Star Plus to show their resentment against the derogatory remarks.

While hosting a recent episode of KBC, the actor had allegedly made some remarks against Balmiki.

The community described his comments as “derogatory” and claims that they have “hurt their religious sentiments.” The activists have even demanded a written apology from Khan and the channel, its president Hans Raj said.

Going by the Television Audience Measurement (TAM) ratings, a lot of people haven't liked SRK as a replacement to the previous show anchor — Bollwood star Amitabh Bachchan.

The TAM ratings showed a dip in viewership for the popular quiz show, suggesting that Shah Rukh Khan is perhaps not doing a good job on KBC3.

Shah Rukh, on his part, feels fairly pleased with his small-screen performance. "I think I am doing good and the reason I know that I am doing good is because I get to hear it from a lot of people. There are also a lot of figures and analysis that speak only good things," he says.
