Sun Dec 17 20:37:05 2000
Name:V.B.Rawat
Email:vbrawat@vsnl.com
Nomination:Amitabh Bachchan
Reason:
Atal bihari Vajpayee's mask has slipped now though we know the Hindutva brigade is out to put him as the soul of the country yet it is Amitabh Bachchan, a true entertainer, who has been the man of the masses. One does not watch his KBC for money but for sheer family entertainment. Amitabh has been an icon, he has brought decency to Television show and his has proved that for becoming a successful host you need not to make your tongue twist like immature and much hyped stars today who pretend not knowing Hindi with their anglicised tone. I am not a Hindi freak but definitely Amitabh has put the national language to nation's agenda. From Delhi to Lucknow and Kathmandu to Dhaka to Karachi one can hear people watching KBC for Amitabh Bachchan only.
No other Indian icon can be such an entertainer, who bring joy to families as Amitabh Bachchan.. Sachin, Saurav, Hrithik are no where in the picture and too small to compare with him.
regards,
V.B.Rawat

Email:lennyvaz@rediffmail.com
Nomination:amitabh bachchan
Reason:Well he was a guy who never gave up. ABCL might have come cropper, but this did not ditter Amitabh Bachan one bit, he then took a risk in holding "Kaun Banega Crorepati" something relatively new in the field of Indian T.V. and has once again become a super hero, this show is loved by one and all, old and young alike. People like me watch it, not only beacuse of the money involved, but to see AMITABH BACHAN in his style, and that baritone voice of his. He was also voted as "THE ACTOR OF THE MILLIENUEM" by the B.B.C.
Well Amit proved all his detractors and critics wrong. Even "Sawal Dus Crore" had to shut shop, although the prize money was higher, but the basic fact was that It was Amitabh Bachan who people are more interested in watching.
Well TRY, TRY, AND YOU WILL SUCEED, WELL THATS WHAT AMIT DID.
AND WELL ABCL IS THINKING OF A COMEBACK.
KUDOS TO THAT AMIT.

Sun Dec 17 22:39:53 2000
Name:V. Srinivas
Email:vajapeyam_s@rediffmail.com
Nomination:Mr. Amitabh Bachan
Reason:Realises that his role in bollywood is limited as youngsters are making a foray into the field. Excepts elderly roles like in Mohabattein.
But its his way of conducting the programme Kaun Banega Crorepathi on Star TV which is
the most watched programe from Monday to Thursday - 9.00 PM to 10.00 PM. which has been his real comeback into the glamourous world.
It is not for just upgrading once GK the programe is watched by the viewers but for the dignity and style the program is conducted by Bachan. The genuine laughs, the words of appreciations, the pep talks all are a class apart.
A new era has dawned in the small screen with the entry of Big B and Mr. Bachan has set a very high standard here too making others follow him.
The genius and good character in Bachan talks everything about him.
All the best for Mr. Bachan in his endevours.
He is undoubtedly my choice man for the year in this year full of troubles/problems/ slow industrial growth.
