27-year-old Ayush Garg from Delhi has become the first contestant to win the ‘Dhan Amrit’, the prize money of 75 lakhs on the upcoming episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ season 14. The episode will be aired tonight as part of ‘Independence Day Special’. Ayush spoke to ETimes TV after becoming the first Rs 75 lakh winner of the show and expressed his happiness over the same. He shared that like everyone else even he dreamt of being on the show and it was like a dream come true moment. He also talked about his experience of meeting megastar Amitabh Bachchan and explained how he makes contestants comfortable. Ayush also opened up on how he plans to use the winning amount.
“I have been watching this show since childhood with my entire family and like everyone else it was also my dream to be on the show. It was no different for me. It was like a dream come true moment to be on the show and now since the promos have started airing on the channel it looks more real. I have always watched the show as a viewer but this time I was on the hotseat,” he said.
Ayush further spoke about his meeting with the host of the show and megastar Amitabh Bachchan, “KBC and Mr Bachchan are synonymous with each other. I have grown up watching his movies and on KBC. Also, all the family members from different age groups connect with him. He has such a huge personality and that you feel when you are on the show. But the best part about him is that he breaks that aura very soon to make you comfortable.”
Ayush got his girlfriend on the show as his companion and Big B praised him for the move. The contestant praised Amitabh Bachchan for his amazing sense of humour and added that his questions about online dating were genuine, “He has a great sense of humour and he likes to keep the atmosphere light. He is always curious to learn about new things and about different topics. It was not just with me, but in the past also we have seen he takes a great interest in knowing or learning about new things. I had a great time interacting with him. His questions about online dating were genuine and I think whenever there will be such an age difference, such questions will automatically come up. Acchi baat hai that he wants to know everything about you and your life and this makes you comfortable,” he revealed.
When asked how he plans to invest or use the winning amount, he says, “I don’t have any such particular dream or wish that I plan to do with the winning amount. I would like to invest in a startup project since I am currently working in one of them. I have seen how lives are impacted and you can make a real change if you invest in a startup. We are in the 75th year of Independence and startup’s are one of the major contributors of our economy today. It is one of the factors that the economy is doing great today. I would like to become the driver of that change in my own way. This is one of my dreams where I can become capable enough to start something of my own. Hopefully, that happens some years down the line.”
