MUMBAI: Kaun Banega Crorepati is one of the most popular quiz-based game shows. Hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, the show entertains as well as disseminates information and knowledge. The show also highlights several inspiring stories on the national television. Currently, season 11 is on air and has kept the viewers hooked to the TV screens.
In a recent episode, Big B called Tanushree Dutta as 'very brave' for starting India’s own #MeToo movement. His words won many hearts. It happened when a contestant was asked to identify the voice of an actress and a beauty queen who was one of the first to trigger India’s own #MeToo movement last year. In the audio that was played out, the voice spoke about sexual harassment at workplace. Tanushree Dutta, Tina Dutta, Kangana Ranaut and Mandana Karimi were the four options thrown out. The contestant said the right answer (A) in quick time. Bachchan added extra information in his inimitable style to explain that 'Tanushree Dutta has also been a Femina Miss India and hence qualifies as a beauty queen plus actress'. The contestant responded to that by saying that Tanushree has been very brave, to which Big B said, “Yes, very very brave.”
Reacting to the same, Tanushree told SpotboyE.com, "That was cool and I'm glad."
The actress added, "I did not see the episode where I was discussed. A friend of mine sent me a clip, which is when I actually learned about it. I am happy that my voice was put on such a big show. I was surprised that the contestants recognised my voice, normally voices of iconic singers, politicians and actors are recognised. I am happy that my voice has reached out to people and it has a recall value."
