Actress Saumya Tandon and Shah Rukh Khan once hosted 'Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout'. The show was a flop despite SRK hosting it. Several celebs participated in the show. In an interview, the 'Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai' recalled the show and working with Shah Rukh Khan. She called the show the “biggest flop” of her career. However, she was all praise for the 'Dunki' star and was happy that she got the opportunity to work alongside SRK.

Saumya told Digital Commentary, “When I got to know that I am co-hosting with SRK, I thought I have arrived in life. But it didn’t work. It turned out to be the biggest flop of my career. Having said that I had a great time meeting and working with Shah Rukh. He is extremely sharp and clever. He isn’t just a great actor, he is very witty and intelligent. Before doing this show I wasn’t an ardent SRK fan but it changed when I met him.”

She also complimented King Khan's work ethic and humility towards his co-stars. Saumya Tandon said, “I remember I had to co-host the show’s launch event with Shah Rukh. When I came, he stood up, he didn’t have to…he is such a big star. All the CEOs and other important personalities were waiting to meet him but he said, ‘This is my time with her.’ So, everybody was standing till the time he finished his rehearsal with me. We rehearsed for close to an hour. When he was with me, he was just with me. Looking into my eyes, making me feel important, giving me respect, time and space. He didn’t make me feel that I was a new person. He asked me two-three times if I want to rehearse more, just like any other co-actor. He gives unadulterated attention to you and that makes him the most romantic person, because when you get unadulterated attention of a person, you feel you are the most important person for him and that for me is romance.”

For the unversed, 'Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout' was aired on Imagine TV in 2011. It was the Indian adaptation of the American reality show 'Wipeout on ABC'.
