Uttar
Pradesh's
Noopur
Chauhan,
who
bagged
Rs
12.5
lakh
in
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
11,
shared
her
ordeal
with
host
Amitabh
Bachchan
on
how
she
was
declared
dead
when
she
was
born.
She
added
that
she
was
thrown
in
a
dustbin
by
the
doctors
of
a
Kanpur
hospital.
Her
family
managed
to
revive
her,
but
the
right
side
of
her
body
remains
paralysed.
Noopur's
disability
didn't
deter
her
from
making
her
way
to
the
hot
seat.
She
answered
12
questions
and
won
the
prize
money
of
Rs
12.5
lakh.
Noopur
lives
in
Bighapur
in
Unnao
district.
She
was
born
to
farmer
Ramkumar
Singh
and
his
wife
Kalpana
Singh.
The
proud
mother
was
all
praise
for
her
daughter.
She
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"Noopur,
despite
her
disability,
has
always
been
a
good
student.
She
was
on
the
merit
list
in
Intermediate
and
got
through
the
B.Ed
entrance
test
in
the
first
attempt.
Today,
she
teaches
children
in
a
play
group
and
also
gives
free
education
to
Class
10
students."
Kalpana
added
that
whenever
the
game
show
was
telecast
on
television,
Noopur
would
answer
the
questions
correctly,
even
before
the
contestants.
When
Season
11
started,
they
asked
her
to
apply.
They
are
extremely
happy
that
she
got
selected
and
ended
up
winning
Rs
12.5
lakh.
On
winning
the
prize,
Noopur
told
IE,
"More
than
the
prize
money,
I
am
happy
that
I
could
win
the
respect
of
people.
Since
I
take
classes,
there
were
many
parents
who
felt
I
was
not
fit
to
teach
their
kids.
But
after
the
show,
most
of
them
are
eager
that
they
get
their
kids
admitted
to
my
class."
