Jalandhar: Shinderpal, a resident of Hussainpur village in Punjab’s Jalandhar district, created history on the September 18 episode of Sony TV’s popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. A carpenter by profession, he won ₹50 lakh, bringing pride to his family and village.
Despite a life filled with hardships, Shinderpal balanced his work as a carpenter with a passion for studies and general knowledge. His determination and self-confidence, he said, helped him prove that even big dreams can be achieved with hard work and dedication.
Host Amitabh Bachchan was visibly moved by Shinderpal’s journey and praised his confidence. “Your thinking and courage will always remain in my heart,” Bachchan said during the show.
Shinderpal’s remarkable run began with the ₹7.5 lakh question, which he answered confidently. He went on to correctly solve the ₹12.5 lakh and ₹25 lakh questions, using two lifelines along the way.
When faced with the ₹50 lakh question, he surprised everyone by answering correctly without using any lifeline, earning a standing ovation from the studio audience.
