One such contestant who recently touched everyone’s hearts is Priyanka Kumari, a student preparing for the civil services examination. After winning the Fastest Finger round, Priyanka took her place on the hot seat opposite Amitabh Bachchan.In a recent promo, Priyanka shared her story and said, “Mein ek student hu, Civil services ki preparation karti hu. Mein chahati hu ki kuch bhi ho apna kharcha khud utha saku. Papa ke upar burden nab anu.” (I’m a student preparing for civil services. No matter what happens, I want to be able to take care of my own expenses and not be a burden on my father.)

She went on to explain that she takes tuition classes to earn a little money to support herself and her father, saying, “Isiliye mein tutions leti hu taki kuch earning ho sake ki jisse mein apne apko aur papa koh support kar saku.”

(That’s why I take tuitions so I can earn a little and support myself as well as my father.) Her words moved Amitabh Bachchan, as the audience responded with heartfelt applause.Pointing toward her father, who was seated among the audience, Priyanka said, “Aaj mere saath joh aaye hai woh mere life ke real hero hai. Mere papa.” (The person who has come with me today is my real-life hero — my father.) She revealed that her father is a street vendor who sells chaat and works tirelessly, never taking a day off.

“Chaat ka theela lagate hai. Baaki sabhi koh chutti milti hai, Sunday koh chutti milti hai, festivals pe milti hai, but mere papa kabhi chutti nahi lete hai.

Dhoop ho, baarish ho, koi bhi Mausam ho kuch bhi ho woh humesha kam pe jaate hai. Aur unhiki mehenat aur unka support aaj mujhe yaha tak lekarke aaya hai sir,” (He runs a chaat stall. Everyone else gets holidays — on Sundays, on festivals — but my father never takes a day off.

Whether it’s sunny, rainy, or stormy, he always goes to work. It’s because of his hard work and support that I’ve reached here today, sir.) she said emotionally.Hearing her story, Amitabh Bachchan turned to her father and said, “Beti ke baremien aap itna soach rahe hai, ye bohot hi garva ki baat hai.” (It’s something to be very proud of that you think so deeply and lovingly about your daughter.) Her father then expressed his pride, sharing that people often question why he invests so much in his daughter’s education. “However,” he said, “it’s because of her that I am able to witness a legend like you in person today.
