The latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 has been making headlines, and one contestant’s journey has captured the hearts of many. Shrim Sharma, an astrologer by profession, recently appeared on the show, fulfilling his late mother’s dream of seeing him on the hot seat. But what makes Shrim’s story truly remarkable is his dedication—he fasted for 97 days to manifest his dream of being on KBC.
A Mother’s Dream Fulfilled
Shrim’s mother always wished to see him on the famous hot seat, and her dream became a reality when he was selected as a contestant. To honor her memory and as a gesture of gratitude, Shrim vowed to fast for 97 days until he made it to the show. During this period, he sustained himself only on fruits, demonstrating his unwavering commitment.
A Sweet Gesture by Amitabh Bachchan
When Shrim finally made it to the hot seat, the legendary host Amitabh Bachchan acknowledged his extraordinary effort. In a heartwarming moment, Amitabh broke Shrim’s fast by offering him his favorite sweet, Rasmalai. This gesture not only symbolized the end of Shrim’s long fast but also marked the culmination of his dedication to fulfilling his mother’s wish.
A Journey of Faith and Dedication
Shrim, who hails from a family of astrologers, shared that he had initially aspired to be a cricketer. However, due to an injury, he had to abandon his cricketing dreams and followed in his family’s footsteps. Apart from astrology, Shrim is also passionate about travel vlogging, often trekking and spending time in the mountains.
A Moment of Joy
As Shrim sat on the hot seat, his mother, overwhelmed with emotion, couldn’t hold back her tears. When Amitabh Bachchan asked if she was happy, she replied with a heartfelt “yes,” expressing her joy and pride in her son’s dedication. Shrim’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the lengths people will go to in pursuit of their dreams.
