Heartbeats on new celebrity quiz show
By Subhash K. Jha, Mumbai: STAR TV is launching a new celebrity quiz show where the contestants will be timed by, guess what, their heartbeats!Among the known faces to feature in the show are cricketers Ajay Jadeja and Vinod Kambli, film actors Isha Koppiker, Pooja Bedi and Varun Badola and television personalities Mandira Bedi and Ronit Roy.
The show to feature on STAR One in May is called "Heartbeat: Dil Tham Ke Khelo".
"It's actually based on the concept of the heartbeat," says STAR's Deepak Sehgal.
"Instead of timing the contestants by the clock they'll be timed by every heartbeat. This will give the quiz an exciting never-before edge. Plus, the phone lines and the Internet will be available to contestants throughout, so they can call up for help any time."
The show will feature celebrities from all walks of life.
"The interesting feature of 'Heartbeat...' is that it will have no host... just the contestant holding fort in an isolated chamber where all we'll hear is his or her heartbeat," informs quiz master Siddharth Basu, the show's producer.
"The time that each contestant will get to answer will depend entirely on the heartbeat. So if you're a nervous sort and prone to palpitations your time will be relatively limited," laughs Siddharth.
The show will feature celebrities to begin with. But it can go on to ordinary people. "It all depends on which way the show goes," says the producer.
