Standing tall: KBC contestant Himani Bundela shares her inspiring journey on the show

Himani Bundela, a visually impaired contestant from Agra recently started her KBC journey on the Hot Seat. A spirited individual, Himani is a teacher who thrives on making maths a fun class for primary school students.

As her KBC journey unfolds on August 30 and 31, she will also be seen teaching a few Mental Maths tricks to Amitabh Bachchan.

Says Himani, “To be on Kaun Banega Crorepati and to meet Amitabh Bachchan has always been a dream and I’m glad I could fulfil it. He made me feel so comfortable on the sets that I didn’t feel nervous at all.”

She adds, “My life after the accident hasn’t been easy. A lot of us had to put in immense amount of work to get back to our daily livelihood, especially my parents and my brothers and sisters. Being a woman who’s visually impaired, I hope my stint on KBC brings a lot of hope to people who are just like me. A lot of students with special abilities do get admissions in schools and colleges but there are no coaching academies to prepare them for competitive exams. With the money I won, I would want to open a coaching academy that trains the divyang kids for government exams.”
