Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma will feature in an upcoming episode of the quiz-based reality show “Kaun Banega Crorepati.” She will share an inspiring story with megastar Amitabh Bachchan about how her brother first recognized her talent as a cricketer.
Support from Family
In her conversation with Big B, Deepti reflected on her childhood and the pivotal role her brother played in her early cricketing journey.
She 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.”
A Brother’s Pride
The episode also highlights a sentimental moment when her brother, who was seated in the audience, expressed his pride. He remarked, “I feel proud to be known as Deepti’s brother,” acknowledging her growth in the sport. Additionally, he recited a heartfelt poem dedicated to Amitabh Bachchan.
A Special Guest Appearance
In the latest episode, India’s youngest cricket star Shafali Varma, along with her teammates from the India Women’s Cricket Team, joined Amitabh Bachchan. During the show, Big B humorously requested their coach, Amol Mazumdar, to allow the girls to enjoy some pizza following their recent win.
He asked, “Toh sir pureh saal bhar tak pizza khane denge aap inhe? Ab toh ye world cup jeet kar aaye hain. Ab inhe junk food allowed kar do.” Amol Mazumdar responded with a light-hearted “Nahi.”
