00:56 Let's throw back to his journey in Takeshi's Castle on this special occasion.
01:01 The Pogo channel first approached him to host this show.
01:04 He found it funny and enjoyable.
01:06 Though Pogo didn't offer him much, he was ready to do this as it was a kids' show.
01:12 He put one condition, he would keep a writer along with him for recording.
01:17 Baba Khan, the writer.
01:18 He was very friendly with the Hindustani language.
01:21 He had good knowledge of phrases and idioms.
01:24 Both of them, Javed and Baba Khan, used to sit together.
01:27 They used to watch the show first and Javed would then give him pointers.
01:32 They would write a basic format first and then used to put punctuation.

01:41 The success of the show was that not only children but adults started following it.
01:46 Javed Jafri shared his thoughts about the show.
01:49 He said, "Players were participating for fun.
01:51 But the prize at the end was that no one knew about it.
01:55 Not even me.
01:56 Many times I did not understand what was going on.
02:00 And sometimes I have said on the show that ye ho kya rahe hai bhai mujhe kuch samajh
02:04 mein nahi aaraha.
02:05 Most of the show was impromptu."
02:07 Indeed, it was a cult show and this legend made us love Takeshi's Castle.
