In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, contestant Mansi Laheru captivated audiences with her emotional journey, starting her adventure after triumphing in the ‘Fastest Finger First’ round. Mansi, brimming with enthusiasm, shared her recent Navratri celebrations with host Amitabh Bachchan before diving into the game.
Though she began with a confidence, the mood shifted as she revealed a poignant story about her financial hardships. Mansi and her husband had invested in the stock market, aiming for quick returns, only to suffer a staggering loss of Rs 40 lakh. Tearfully, she described the impact of this setback on her family but referred to Kaun Banega Crorepati as a “ray of hope” in her life. Amitabh praised her courage and resilience in confronting her mistakes.
As the game progressed, Mansi faced a challenge with a Super Sandook question. Nevertheless, she regained her footing with the next question, Mansi’s determination shone through as she shared her experiences of juggling two jobs—one as a postwoman and the other as a teacher—highlighting the shared struggles of both men and women in the workforce. Amitabh admired her strength and perseverance.
Despite her outstanding performance, she stumbled on a question worth Rs 25 lakh, leading her to exit the show. In a heartfelt moment, she presented Amitabh with a letter, expressing her gratitude through tears: “This show came as a ray of hope in my life. I thought I lost all hope after the loss that I and my husband incurred. However, this show is going to help me a lot.”
Following Mansi’s emotional exit, the show featured contestant Prashant Pramod Jamdade, who also captured viewers’ hearts. Prashant, 30, struggles with a physical disability affecting his mobility. Amitabh expressed his desire for Prashant to win a substantial amount to fund his medical treatment. Prashant shared the challenges of limited resources in his hometown of Sangli, Maharashtra, but Amitabh offered reassurance, promising to assist him in finding good hospitals in Mumbai.
As the episode progressed, Prashant revealed his intention to use his winnings for his father’s hearing aid, showcasing his selflessness. Touched by his kindness, Amitabh chuckled, saying he could relate to Prashant’s concern for his father’s well-being.
