Quitting as the CEO of STAR Entertainment India was a painful decision for Samir Nair, who will now be joining NDTV's soon-to-launch entertainment channel as a partner.
The decision was taken after weeks of deliberation when Nair tried hard to balance his loyalty to the channel, which he helped build from scratch.
Confirming the move, Nair said
: "Yes, I'm quitting STAR. And obviously it won't be just another move on the same level. I need to grow as an individual and a professional. I need to become an entrepreneur now. But I'll always be in the entertainment business."
Close friends confirm that Nair tried hard to work out things with the channel.
Ironically, Nair's resignation was made public Monday when the third season of his brain-child "Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC) went on air with Shah Rukh Khan as the new host.
He is fully prepared to face the flak or the hosannas.
"I've worked on the show from scratch. We've changed quite a lot of the format from earlier on. And, of course, there's Shah Rukh. It can't go wrong," asserted Nair.
Nair is the man who saw tomorrow in KBC and the trio of TRP-towering soaps "Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi", "Kasauti Zindagi Kay" and "Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki".
