On the August 23 episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16’, contestant Nisha Raj from Patna, Bihar took the hot seat in front of host Amitabh Bachchan. Her participation not only highlighted her sharp game but also her personal story, which shed light on the financial difficulties faced by her family in the last few years.

Nisha, 24, said her main motivation for joining the show was to win enough money to buy a house for her father. Her family has had to move frequently due to the high cost of rent, and her father’s daily income of Rs 500 is insufficient to provide financial stability. Despite these challenges, her father prioritized their education with the hope of ensuring a better future for his children.

During the episode, Nisha revealed that owning a home has been a dream of her life, a symbol of stability, respect and identity for her family. She spoke about her desire to build a home where her family can live safely and comfortably. Nisha also mentioned her father’s struggles, including the fact that he often had to travel long distances wearing only one slipper, a detail that moved the audience. Amitabh Bachchan was moved to tears after hearing Nisha’s story.

Responding to Nisha’s statement, Amitabh Bachchan offered to gift a pair of shoes to her father.

‘KBC 16’ airs on Sony TV and live streams on SonyLIV.
