After quitting, Kavita guessed Services, which was the wrong answer. The correct answer was Andhra.
Kavita Chawla earlier told indianexpress.com that she has wanted to be on the hot seat ever since the show launched in the year 2000. In the previous season, she made it to the Fastest Finger First round, but could not reach the hot seat.
“Last year, when I couldn’t reach the hot seat from the fastest finger first round, I was so heartbroken. I remember sitting on the set and crying my heart out. Amitabh Bachchan ji then came forward and told me not to be demotivated. His words kept echoing in my mind and I decided to come back, this time with the mission to win,” she told indianexpress.com.
Kavita added, “I have always believed education and knowledge will take you places. Through this platform, I would like to tell everyone that never feel that educating women is worthless as they can change the world. They will make you proud. I have gratitude towards my parents who supported me and I hope every parent will help their daughters too.”
