Kavita Chawla, a homemaker from Kolhapur, is the first contestant in this season’s Kaun Banega Crorepati to win the cash prize of Rs. 1 crore. After winning Rs. 1 crore, she attempted to answer the Rs. 7.5 crore question as well, but couldn’t win. She is content and proud of her achievement. Sharing her happiness, she says, “I am extremely happy that I reached this point. My father and son Vivek were with me in Mumbai and we didn’t tell anyone in our family until the episode went on air because we wanted to surprise everyone. I just tell myself that the 7.5 cr question was not meant for me, it wasn't in my destiny.”
Even though Kavita has studied only till Class XII, she has tried to keep her reading and learning interest alive. She says, “One of the reasons I did that was to be on KBC. Right from the year 2000, I wanted to be part of the show. Last year too, I came on the show, but only reached the fastest finger round. This year, I have fulfilled my dream by reaching this point. Whenever I used to make my son study, I would learn along with him.”
So what does she plan to do with the money which she has won so far? Kavita says, “Now that I have won this amount, I want to send my son Vivek abroad for further studies.”
