Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
12
recently
got
its
third
crorepati
in
a
school
teacher
from
Chattisgarh
named
Anupa
Das.
The
contestant
had
been
stretched
financially
as
she
and
her
family
are
getting
her
mother
treated
for
stage
3
cancer.
The
42-year-old
said
in
an
interview
to
Indian
Express,
“My
family
and
I
have
had
a
really
hard
time
as
majority
of
the
money
was
spent
in
hospitals.
Now,
all
that
I
have
is
theirs.
Everything
that
I
have
earned
on
the
show
is
going
to
go
towards
supporting
my
family.
By
God’s
grace,
we
finally
have
the
resources
to
give
my
mother
the
best
possible
treatment.”
However,
it
must
be
noted
that
she
quit
her
game
at
the
Rs
7
crore
question
as
she
was
not
sure
of
the
answer.
But
when
host
Amitabh
Bachchan
asked
her
to
guess
the
answer,
Anupa
got
it
right.
On
being
quizzed
about
the
same
Das
replied,
“The
question
was
based
on
sports,
and
since
it’s
not
my
strength,
I
did
panic
a
little.
One
wrong
answer
would
have
taken
away
a
huge
sum,
which
we,
as
a
family,
need
right
now.
Thus,
I
decided
to
let
it
go.
However,
post
the
game,
when
Amit
ji
announced
that
I
had
chosen
the
correct
answer,
I
was
astounded.
Nonetheless,
I
am
very
happy
and
proud
of
what
I
achieved
on
the
show.”
She
concluded
by
talking
about
her
newfound
status
and
how
she
is
coming
to
terms
with
it.
“Being
on
the
show
has
completely
changed
my
life.
People’s
attitude
towards
me
and
every
little
thing
around
me
has
changed,
for
the
better.
I
am
actually
at
a
loss
of
words
to
explain
this
indescribable
feeling,”
said
Anupa.
