Mumbai:
At
a
time
when
the
nation
is
reeling
from
the
shocking
gangrape
of
a
23-year-old
girl,
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
is
pleased
to
see
a
woman
win
the
five-crore
jackpot
on
his
game
show
KBC
6,
showing
that
women
are
no
less
than
men.
Housewife
Sunmeet
Kaur
Sawhney
has
become
the
first
female
contestant
to
have
won
Rs
five
crores
on
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
6.
"In
the
days
that
have
gone
by,
where
the
dignity
of
a
young
girl
is
maligned
and
brought
to
shame
through
the
most
heinous
and
disgusting
acts
of
a
bunch
of
animals,
it
gave
me
great
pleasure
to
see
a
woman
in
a
man's
world,
taking
on
the
many
painful
experiences,
and
coming
out
victorious."
"Her
status
as
a
woman
was
never
compromised,
and
given
an
opportunity,
she
has
proved
to
an
entire
nation,
which
hangs
its
head
in
shame
for
the
gang
rape
victim,
that
women
are
strong
and
no
less
than
men," the
70-year-old
actor
posted
on
his
blog.
Bachchan
said
Mumbai-based
Sunmeet,
who
gave
tuitions
to
young
children
to
add
to
the
family's
income,
was
impeccable
in
the
HotSeat.
"She
never
hesitated
on
any
question,
or
did
any
kind
of
guesswork.
At
the
1
crore
mark
she
had
the
option
of
two
life
lines...
but
refused
them
because
she
said
she
was
somewhat
sure
of
the
answer.
And
she
delivered
with
honours."
"Well
done
Sunmeet...
I
am
so
proud
to
be
a
part
of
that
moment
when
you
turned
the
tables...
When
you
chose
to
look
after
your
husband
and
family...
when
you
decided
even
before
the
game
started
that
you
would
wish
to
gift
a
housing
to
your
ailing
mother-in-law,
who
you
have
praised
as
that
member
of
your
family
who
remained
close
and
understanding
to
you
all
along...," he
added.
