It was surely a dream come true for Rahat Tasneem, a housewife from Jharkhand, who became the maiden contestant of ‘Kaun Baega Crorepati 4’ (KBC 4) this season to win the prize money of Rs. 1 crore.
Tasneem, who hails from Giridih, managed her life lines well to become a ‘crorpati’ in the popular Indian game show.
Big B appreciated her achievement in his blog as he wrote: “Rahat Taslim (Tasneem), a married small town housewife from Giridih, Jharkhand as you all may have known by now, won the one crore at KBC. A simple woman, a muslim from an unknown village, still under the social and conservative norms of the ?purdah?, came out from her house stitching activities that earned her 2000-3000 rupees in order to run the house and made a crore of rupees.”
37-year-old Rahat runs a tailoring class in Giridih, reports mentioned.
“She never in her life had opened even a bank account, because of their meagre earnings, had never seen the lakhs that came to her in the form of the zero?s on her cheque and had never ever imagined that she would get to the hot seat at KBC. But she did,” wrote Big B.
“She played like a master, knew most of the answers till she reached the 50 lakh-mark and then cracked the million dollar question. Never once did she flinch or express any fear of what she was getting into, once she reached the high numbers, was confident from the word go and her fate and luck never left her side !,” Amitabh mentioned about Rahat and her achievement.
Big B also mentioned in his blog that Rahat’s victory is one of the ‘fantastic moments’ of both KBC 4′ as well as the women in this nation: “What a fantastic moment for the game. What a fantastic moment for women in our country – that given an opportunity, they had the ability to shine like never before.”
“Well done Rahat, you have become a part of a very important and historic moment not just for the game of KBC, but for the country as well. More, country” he added.
Rahat’s dream run started in Oct 16 when she participated in the contest with Rs. 3 balance in her mobile phone,, reports said.
She answered a question on Hindu mythology and hence started her dream run in the popular game show.
