The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16 featured Nisha Raj, an aspiring competitor from Patna, Bihar. Nisha’s story is particularly inspiring because she hopes to utilise her possible earnings to buy a house for her father. This would not only be her first big earnings, but also the realisation of a long-held family ambition.
Amitabh Bachchan called her to the hotseat after the second round of Fastest Finger First.At the hotseat, Nisha tries to touch Big B’s feet and he refuses to let her do that. Further, he asks her about her profession. Nisha reveals, “I was studying for Nursing but due to my health I had to stop my studies. Currently, I am just a student.”
Big B then asked what inspired her to take up Nursing, and she shared, “You have been my inspiration, sir, your advertisement for Polio inspired me to take up a profession that contributed to medicine and welfare.”
Listening to Nisha, the host shares an anecdote from his campaign days for Polio, he said, “I feel it is good for our country, it took 8 years that is when India became polio-free. We worked hard, we would make films to promote it. It took a lot of hard work to make the country Polio-free. I still remember when we became Polio-free, the United Nations invited me to facilitate me and a woman there shared an intriguing anecdote with me. She said that women shared that they didn’t believe me when I was trying to educate them about Polio.”
Big B further added, “My Ad Agency suggested that I should scold them onscreen. And I yelled at the viewers and scolded them to take Polio drops. Women from the village saw the ad where I was angry and got scared of it and began to take Polio drops.”

Nisha and her family have been relocating from house to house for the past 24 years due to financial restrictions and excessive rents. Her father’s daily earnings are only 500 rupees, and despite his hard work, they are unable to afford their own home. But one thing their father has ensured is that both of his children have an education so that they can live a better life. With a humble dream in her eyes and a vow made to her father, Nisha expresses her desire to contribute colour to her parents’ lives, much like her father does for others as a painter.
