Mumbai, Sep 12 : Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has lauded the social work done by his granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda, for the menstruating women of the rural areas, and opened up on how the mindset of the people in the villages should change.
In the episode 21 of the quiz based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati season 15, host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed Neeru Yadav, popularly known as Hockey Sarpanch, from Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu, and Chhavi Rajawat former Sarpanch of Soda, a village which is 60 kilometers from Jaipur, Rajasthan, to the hot seat. Talking about her journey, Neeru said, “When I got married and came to this village I saw a lot of differences. Women had to struggle for their basic needs. In Rajasthan, women wear the veil. Women couldn't say what they want. They are carrying pots filled with water on their head. So, I thought, since l am living in the village, I should do something nice for my village. I contested to be the Sarpanch with this motive.” The Sholay actor said, “I would like to inform our viewers and audience that Chhavi is the first Sarpanch with an MBA. You gained education in renowned educational institutions. What made you return to your village?”
