Mumbai: The 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, continues to draw viewers to the personal journeys of contestants, which reflect the aspirations of millions across India.
In an upcoming episode, Prashant Pramod Jamdade from Sangli, Maharashtra, will take the hotseat.
Since childhood, Prashant has faced a significant challenge where he has a lump on his back that requires surgery. Unfortunately, during the operation, his nerves got affected, resulting in a loss of range of motion in his legs. He aspires to receive proper treatment for his condition, but his family’s limited resources make this difficult.
Saddened by learning about his difficulty, Amitabh warmly assists Prashant as he takes his place on the hot seat, providing him with the support he needs. When asked what he hopes to achieve with the prize money he wins, Prashant expresses that he wants to receive proper treatment for his disability.
Amitabh then inquires if Prashant has consulted any doctors about his condition. Prashant replies, "There aren’t good hospitals in Sangli." In response, Amitabh offers reassurance, saying, "Many excellent hospitals in Mumbai specialize in nerve treatment. I will do my best to help you. Please share your details with me, and I will reach out to the hospitals in Mumbai on your behalf."
Further into the show, Prashant reveals that he hopes to buy an earpiece for his father, who struggles with hearing due to his age. Touched by Prashant’s thoughtfulness, Amitabh chuckles and says, "Well, I can relate! I’ve been thinking about getting one for myself too."
As a big AB fan, Prashant says, "You have such incredible energy that even a young person would feel shy in your presence. May God bless you with a long life, and may Kaun Banega Crorepati continue to thrive just as it is."
