‘Koun Banega Crorepati’ winner’s present life, let’s see what do they do now.

Kaun Banega Crorepati, the TV Show which created milestones of popularity, was patterned from UK game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” The show revived the Indian television industry and within weeks, show had become one of the most popular TV show like “Ramayana” and “Mahabharat”. The show was hosted by ‘Star of the Millennium’ Mr. Amitabh Bachan and show offered Rs. One Crore (10 Millions) prize money for the participants who cleared all levels of the KBC. Everyone won prize money, but some of them won jumbo prize money. Below is a short description of the life of top KBC winners now.

Harshwardhan Nawathe – 1st Season – Harshwardhan’s life changed upside down in 2000 when he won Rs. 1 crore and became the first contestant in KBC show to grab the money bag. The then Indian Civil Services aspirant became mini celebrity when he won the prize amount. After the show, he dropped the idea of Civil Services and went to UK for doing MBA. Currently employed in Mahindra & Mahindra, he leads a happy life with his two children and wife.

Ravi Mohan Saini – KBC Junior – Can you think of a 14 year old child winning Rs. 1 crore not because of a lottery but because of his intellect? Well, Ravi Saini defied this imagination of every one of and went on to become the winner of KBC Junior in 2001 and earned Rs. 1 crore. The prodigy didn’t stop there, rather continued to prove his mettle and respect for his country as an officer in the Indian Police Service.

Rahat Taslim – 4th Season – A lady hailing from conservative family became pride of every woman in India when she won Rs. 1 crore. She had to discontinue her studies as she was married off but now she lives an independent life in Giridih (Jharkhand) where she has put up her own garment showroom in a mall.

Sushil Kumar – 5th Season – Sushil Kumar is a perfect example of the quote “Education has no boundaries.” Hailing from a humble background of Motihari in Bihar, computer operator became the first contestant in KBC’s history to get hold of Rs. 5 crore on hot seat. His victory brought laureate to him but seems like he could not manage his prize money. He received Rs. 3.6 crores after deduction of taxes which he spent carelessly and apparently now is jobless and striving for money.

Sunmeet Kaur – 6th Season – First lady winner of Rs. 5 crore in KBC history is an impeccable example of hard work and belief in oneself. Even after having degree of fashion designing, she was not permitted by her in-laws to pursue a career in the related field. But this didn’t stop her from flying. She started tiffin service but later had to wind up as she met an accident. Then, she started giving tuitions and that wisdom eventually helped her in winning the whopping amount. The last news we heard of her was, she has started a fashion house with a friend.

Taj Mohammed Rangrez – 7th Season – Who says History teachers just know about past? Rangrez eluded this stereotype by becoming the first contestant of season 7 to win Rs. 1 crore. It was like a dream come true for him because he lacked financial assistant for his daughter’s partial vision treatment. He used the prize money to cure his daughter’s vision problem, paid for house and supported the marriage of two orphaned girls.

Achin Narula and Sarthak Narula – 8th Season – Their victory has been the biggest victory on the show so far. Appreciation and fame came into the scene when the Delhi brothers jointly won a whopping sum of 7 crore. It became possible after a 10-year-long hard work where the boys got a chance to participate together. They used the money for their mother’s cancer treatment and opened up a business of their own.

The show provided a platform to the participants to financially support their vision, especially to above winners who won the top prize in the show. Only earning money isn’t important but more is to manage the money with a fore planned approach so that money could be multiplied for future needs and expansions.
