==Concept==
Khullja Sim Sim is a unique game show concept that tugs at your inherent desire to trade and win. It is an Indian adaptation of the hit U.S. game show ''[[Let's Make a Deal]],'' which aired from 1963–77, 1980–81, 1984–86, 1990–91, 2003, and currently since 2009. 
It was one of the largest ever shows produced in the country, with sets that have set the standard for game shows. More than 18000&nbsp;kg of stainless steel was used in the construction of the set, in addition to 2000 sq. ft. of acrylic, 2000 sq. ft. of vinyl, 2500 bulbs, 200 tube lights, and kilometers of cabling. It's no wonder that it became the top weekly game show ever since its first episode, with a loyal audience that returns every week to be charmed by the host, the games, and the fact that they never know what's coming next! Khullja Sim Sim aired on the premiere TV channel in the country, STAR Plus (part of the News Corp empire). The show went on air in July 2001, and was on for over 2 years and 105 episodes. By the time it went off air, over 1500 participants have appeared on the show and prizes worth over Rs. 2 Crores (20 Million) distributed. Khullja Sim Sim has also garnered a mention in the Limca Book of Records, 2003.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.optimystix.tv/activities/television/khullja-sim-sim.php |title=Khullja Sim Sim at Optimystix webpage |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100622090739/http://www.optimystix.tv/activities/television/khullja-sim-sim.php |archivedate=22 June 2010 }}</ref>
