Meet KBC 14’s first crorepati!
Dubbed by Amitabh Bachchan as “Gyaan ki Shakti,” Kavita Chawla, the first Crorepati of Sony TV’s Kaun Banega Crorepati – Season 14 talks about her journey from earning INR 20 to INR 3,20,000 and then winning INR 1 crore.
Homemaker Kavita Chawla from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, was destined to make history from the moment she rushed to hug host, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, to the moment she was announced as this season’s first Crorepati. On Sony Entertainment Television’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14’, Kavita Chawla would find herself shouting overjoyed as she would win the glorious amount of 1 crore, crossing the threshold of ‘Dhan Amrit’- INR 75 lakhs. As she would move on to the amount of 7.5 crores, she would either go home, being truly declared the first Crorepati of the season or she would fall down to 75 lacs. The thrilling gameplay would be interspersed with some very interesting conversations, one of which would entail Mrs Chawla talking about how she would earn 20 rupees a day once and how she has earned 3, 20,000 in a matter of few hours, with her intelligence.
Mr Amitabh Bachchan would be commending Kavita ji and saying how the cheque for 3 lacs, 20 thousand means a lot to her and how every earning of hers has been surmised in the cheque. Talking to Mr Bachchan about her days of struggle after receiving the cheque, Kavita would say, “till date, this is my first big earning which I have now received on the stage of KBC. I remember there was a time when I would work on my sewing machine for 8 hours and for those hours I would only get 20 rupees, in a day. From 20 rupees to 3 lac 20 thousand, it has taken me 30 years to reach this milestone.” The host would then be quoted saying, as per a source close to the set, “Mr Bachchan then said that she had ‘Gyaan Ki Shakti’, her superpower was her knowledge.”
Tune in to watch Kavita Sharma on the hotseat, and attempt the 7.5 crore question, on Kaun Banega Crorepati 14, on 19th and 20th September, 9:00 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
