You have to agree with me that ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ not only rebooted Amitabh Bachchan’s career but it also brought him closer to our homes and hearts.
KBC gave both Big B and the contestants a chance to interact and share each other’s stories.
During a recent Facebook chat, he shared this moving and inspiring incident about a KBC contestant, that would make your eyes water.
“A young lady came on the hot seat in one of the episodes. I asked her about her life and she said she grew up in a village and after 7th or 8th standard. Her parents stopped her education as the entire village was saying ‘isko aur zyaada padhane ki zarurat nahi hai ‘ why are you wasting your money on her. She will get married soon and go away and you will waste all your money. She felt very hurt by the remark and wanted to educate herself. So she fought with her parents. They threw her out of the house. She went to her grandmother’s place but her grandmother treated her equally badly. But she still pursued her study costs on her own and landed on the hot seat through her intelligence. She won Rs 25 lakh. When I signed the cheque and gave it to her, I asked her what will she do with the money. She replied I am going to take this cheque and show it to my father that even a daughter is an asset to family. I think every woman in this country should take this as an example.”
By sharing this touching incident with us, we know that we can find heroes in the most unlikely places.
