Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker tells Amitabh Bachchan about the biggest influence in her life

Kaun Banega Crorepati is one of the most loved shows on television. It's a show where we see common people answering questions about general knowledge, politics, entertainment, etc. and winning amazing prize money. Sometimes, we also see certain celebrities or cricketers also gracing the show. In the upcoming episode, viewers will be treated to a special segment honouring Teachers' Day with two remarkable Olympic medallists: Manu Bhaker and Aman Sehrawat.

On September 5th, both Manu Bhaker and Aman Sehrawat will join Amitabh Bachchan on the show. In a promotional clip for the episode, Big B asks Manu about her motivation to pursue sports. An excited Manu reveals that her mother has been her greatest supporter. The Olympic medallist shared that her mother always dreamed of being an athlete herself but never received the financial support needed to pursue her ambitions. Despite this, her mother's encouragement has been a significant source of inspiration and influence for Manu.

Manu Bhaker said, "Toh kahin na kahin vo unka bhi sapna tha or jis tarah se unka support mila, I think vo mere liye bahut inspiring rehta hai ki maa jab strong hoti hai toh beti definately strong nikalti hai." (I think it is very inspiring that when a mother is strong, her daughter is definitely strong too.).

The promo for the same is shared below for our entertainment news readers. Sony TV captioned it, "Manu Bhaker ki maa hi hai unki strength. Dekhiye #KaunBanegaCrorepati #OlympiansSpecial, 5th September raat 9 baje sirf #SonyEntertainmentTelevision par." The episode will air on September 5 at 9 pm.
