Salman Khan, who is to anchor Sony's new reality game show Dus Ka Dum, writes in his first entry that he takes all his decisions on instincts rather than calculations.

"All my decisions are based on my instincts and some people think that I am too moody and cynical," Salman writes in his blog. "Believe me, I have been guided by my instincts and my heart all my life! I do not depend too much on intelligence, analysis and calculations," he says.

Salman, who has often been in the news for wrong reasons, says that earlier he had his own reservations about anchoring a show. "I still remember the day when my brother Sohail Khan brought the proposal to anchor a show for Sony Entertainment Television. I had my reservations. The idea sounded so impractical that I rejected it even without giving it much thought," he wrote.

But then what attracted him to Dus Ka Dum?
"There is no false shame and sense of humiliation on the show if your answer is wrong. Sample survey has determined the exact answers in the form of percentage and the one who answers nearest to the exact answer is the winner. This game is simple. It is a game of guessing," Salman quips.

Salman who is busy shooting in Australia for Mr & Mrs Khanna writes in his latest post that doing his upcoming television show Dus Ka Dum is his way of saying “Thank You” to his fans.

“There are loads of reasons that helped me take a positive step. Soon, 10 Ka Dum ceased to be a format or a chat show. It became my thanksgiving to millions of my fans who have showered their love and blessings to a rather reluctant star. For last nineteen years they have been watching my films… again and again… spending their hard earned money on my films and I know that the time has come to thank them and return some of their money in the form of prizes. Therefore for me, this is not merely a show, but my SHUKRANA… 
Thank you friends.”

Salman’s show Dus Ka Dum is all about people and their choices. The game show challenges contestants to guess the answers to various questions, which are based on popular choice. The genre of questions varies from political to plain funny.

In his previous posts Salman has implied that he chose to do Dus Ka Dum because it gave him a platform on which he can closely interact with the common man. His blog states, “The greatest temptation to the show was direct interaction with common people.”

A source from Sony Televison revealed, "The show has turned out to be quite interesting and so has the promotional song which is already on air. Salman's popularity is quite visible on the sets as the crowd; especially girls go mad over him after his entry on the sets. Hoardings for Salman's show 10 Ka Dum are already up everywhere. The show is expected to start in June."

He also said, "The show which will be aired on Sony Entertainment Television has already got great buyers overseas. The moment Salman came to know of the money that the channel is raking in he decided to hike his price for the show. Salman is now demanding a hike of Rs 44 crore for the show."
