MUMBAI: In an upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, India’s all-rounder Deepti Sharma opens up about the moment that changed her life, the person who first saw her potential and encouraged her to take up cricket - her elder brother. Speaking to Amitabh Bachchan, Deepti shared how his support and belief played a crucial role in shaping her early journey.
Recalling her childhood days, Deepti said, “I began playing cricket because of my brother. I used to accompany him to the ground just to watch him play. One day, I was sitting on the stairs when a ball suddenly came towards me. I threw it back from around 40–50 metres, and it directly hit the stumps. People there immediately said, ‘This girl should be playing cricket.’ From that moment, I never looked back and started playing seriously.”
The episode also featured a touching moment when her brother, seated in the audience, expressed his pride. He said, “I feel proud to be known as Deepti’s brother,” acknowledging how far she has come. He also recited a heartfelt poem dedicated to Amitabh Bachchan, adding warmth and charm to the episode.
Deepti’s story on KBC is a reminder of how a single moment of discovery — and the unwavering support of family — can change the course of a young athlete’s life.
