29-year-old Aarti Bajaj Chugh is changing the world, one lesson at a time. On Sony Entertainment Television's knowledge-based gameshow, 'Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14', rollover contestant Aarti Bajaj Chugh would be inaugurating the 'Navaratri Special Week', celebrating the auspicious festival on 26th September at 9:00 pm. From Punjab's Chamkaur Sahib, Aarti who is the Senior Bank Manager at Punjab Gramin Bank will be gracing the hotseat and play the game of wit. The peppy Punjaban will also have the audience entertained and enlightened with her conversations with the host Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. In conversation, she will be seen requesting Big B to recite his famous dialogue from 'Shahenshah' in Punjabi and tell him about her work in the village, one of which entails educating young girls in the space provided by the local Gurudwara.
Talking about how she was inspired to teach young girls in the village she said, "When I was posted in another village, the helper there was unable to come in as she was unwell. She sent her daughter to work instead who was just 18 or 19 years old. I asked her, "Why have you come to work? someone else could have come." What she said after, touched my heart. She said, "Madam I don't study, I have dropped out of school and my future is this work." That is the day I decided that these children should get the opportunities that they deserve. I pushed her education and got her admission done in BA. Now, she’s finally studying and is also working as a BC Agent (Business Correspondent) in a bank. That is when I thought if one girl's life can change so much, there is a lot more I can do. I then started classes every Sunday with an aim to change lives for the better.” To this, Big B would tell the audience how her work is important to society because most people do not believe in educating girls and have them manage the household, only to get them married off. He would talk about the many contestants who have previously graced the show and shared their life stories of how they were restricted from being educated further, just because their families do not want to fund them and their futures, lest the money is "wasted" on them. Aarti would then talk about how many people are not aware of the opportunities that are present and are seldom afraid to send their children outside of the borders of their village. Mr Bachchan would congratulate Aarti on her noble work and encourage her to keep continuing her deeds.
Talking about her experience of being on the show, Aarti shares, "it was unbelievable to sit in front of Mr Bachchan and play KBC. I felt like I was living some dream like I was Alladin and this was my magic lamp granting my wishes. I have so many memories from the show that I will always cherish. More so, I will cherish the conversations I had with Mr Bachchan and take back with me, his blessings."
Tune in to watch Aarti Bajaj Chugh on the hotseat, on 26th September, on Kaun Banega Crorepati- Season 14, at 9:00 pm only on Sony Entertainment Television.
