KBC 18: Construction Worker Kishan Reaches ₹1 Crore Question, His Struggle Leaves Amitabh Bachchan Emotional

The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 (KBC 18) is winning attention for the inspiring story of contestant Kishan, a construction worker who reached the show's hot seat after years of hard work and struggle.

When host Amitabh Bachchan asked Kishan about his profession and personal life, he opened up about the difficulties he has faced while working in the construction sector.

Kishan revealed that he has worked on construction sites and installed tiles in homes to earn a living. His story highlighted the challenges faced by daily-wage workers, who often work long hours despite receiving limited recognition and respect.

‘Sometimes Even Water Was a Struggle’

While describing his experiences, Kishan spoke about the lack of basic facilities that workers can sometimes face at construction sites.

He recalled that when he asked for water while working, there were occasions when he was directed towards water used for washing utensils.

Kishan also pointed out that while architects and engineers are recognised for their contribution to construction projects, the hard work of labourers is equally important in turning buildings into reality.

Only ₹2,500 in His Bank Account

Amitabh Bachchan also asked Kishan how much money he had seen in his life.

Kishan revealed that at the time, he had only ₹2,500 in his bank account, giving viewers a glimpse into his financial circumstances.

Despite these challenges, he managed to reach the KBC hot seat through his knowledge and determination.

Working All Day, Studying at Night

Kishan explained that preparing for KBC was not easy because he had to continue working during the day.

He said that he would work throughout the day, return home in the evening, have dinner and then study for the show.

His journey demonstrates how he balanced daily-wage work with his ambition of appearing on one of India's most popular quiz shows.
