Concept
The program combines comedy, celebrity, and musical guests and human-interest stories. The program is not characterized as a tabloid talk show, nor does it involve experts giving advice in regards to personal relationships. 19 of the biggest stars of Bollywood were interviewed on the show as they search for their biggest fan.
Lift Kara De has introduced a unique format and concept. The Show chose three super fans for a superstar. The super fans will get a job to win the contests. Only one fan, who will win the task, will get a chance to meet his super-star.
On the other hand, the Show would lift a life of very poor family who is in need of some money. Winner money will be multiplied by 500 by the Show sponsored and super-star. The Show concept chooses a Sabse Bada Fan of a super-star and a life of very poor family changes.
