Returning for its 16th season, Amitabh Bachchan continues to host the beloved quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati. Known for sharing personal stories, the legendary actor took a moment to talk about Navya Naveli Nanda, highlighting her admirable contributions to society.
Inspiring Stories on KBC
During a recent episode, a contestant named Nareshi Meena shared her journey of being diagnosed with a brain tumor, a discovery that came during the medical exams for her training as an Investigation Officer. Her story moved Amitabh, leading him to offer financial assistance for her Proton treatment. He praised Nareshi’s resilience and urged her to focus on her recovery rather than worrying about the prize money.
Badi himmat honi chahiye ek mahila mein. Ek toh sarvajanik roop se yeh baat kehna, iske liye bohot himmat ki zarurat hoti hai. Aur khaas toh jis tarah ki avastha hal uske baare mein baat karna hi mushkil hota hai. Kahin na kahin aapne apne mann ke andar yeh rakh rakha hai, yeh thaan ki main aaj KBC main aayi hoon aur main dhanrashi jeet kar jaungi aur iska ilaaj ho sakta hai. Aapke dhairya ke liye hum aapko dhanyawaad karte hai. Lekin iss or jo aapka dhyaan hai, ab woh apne dimag se hata lijiye aur jo aapka chhipa hua tumour hai, woh bhi nikal jayega.”
Amitabh Bachchan on Navya’s Commitment to Women’s Welfare
The conversation then shifted to Navya’s work when Nareshi discussed her role in helping women who face domestic violence. Amitabh Bachchan proudly shared that Navya, from her own earnings, has taken significant steps to support women’s welfare. He mentioned that she recently founded an NGO, funded entirely by herself, which provides homes and necessary facilities for women in need.
My granddaughter ( Navya Naveli) does this individually from her own earnings. She isn’t working for the Government but has been taking up these initiatives on her own. Recently, she set up an NGO with her own funds, the organization makes homes for women and gives all the facilities and everything that the women need.”
