Amitabh Bachchan’s Love and Affection calmed me down – Sushil Kumar (KBC 5 crore winner)

ollywoodWorld.com, From a monthly salary of Rs.6,000, Sushil Kumar has hit the jackpot by winning Rs.5 crore ($1 million) on the game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati 5″. He says he will now prepare for the civil services – something he had stopped dreaming about due to his financial situation earlier.

“Everything seems completely different. The feeling is yet to sink in. I had never thought I would be able to win Rs.5 crore,” Kumar, 27, told IANS on phone from Mumbai.

This was Kumar’s second attempt at making it to the hot seat which turned into a life-changing moment for him – he entered the show with the aim of winning Rs.2,500,000. He won 20 times that.

“I came to the show with the mindset that I would go back home with at least Rs.25,00,000 but by god’s grace I have won Rs.5 crore. Even after deducting the tax, I know I would get at least Rs.3.5 crore which is enough for me,” he said.

Before becoming a crorepati, Kumar, who hails from East Champaran in Bihar, used to work as a computer operator. So winning the game show is a big moment in his life.

“Ever since I have won, I am stormed with calls from family and friends and even from those whom I have rarely met. It’s a fabulous feeling. I didn’t prepare much for the show. I just had an idea of what could be asked and did a little preparation with whatever books I had,” he said.

Kumar, who is married, lives in a big joint family – he has five brothers, five nieces and a nephew.
