Aneri Arya, a 26-year-old visually challenged assistant professor of English from Surat, Gujarat, can be seen enjoying the sport of Kaun Banega Crorepati with host Amitabh Bachchan tonight.
During her interplay, Aneri will reveal about her situation and confess to being motivated by Big B’s mentor act in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s acclaimed movie Black.
“Sir, you have played the role of a teacher in the film (Black) and with your influence, Rani Mukerji’s character was able to express herself and grow. Just like that, even I have a teacher, my PhD guide, Dr Sunil Shah,” the contestant can be heard saying at one level within the present.

Post the shoot, Aneri Arya opened up about her KBC expertise, and assembly the Shehenshah of Bollywood.
“I remember getting goosebumps as I sat on the hot seat. There was so much happening around me that it was overwhelming, but Amitabh sir’s calm voice soothed all my apprehensions. It was an experience of a lifetime, and I don’t think I will ever be able to forget this. Mr Bachchan and I shared a lot of conversations. I told him about my favourite book ‘The Metamorphosis’ by Franz Kafka and my favourite film of his, Black. My parents also conversed with him during the show and my mother told him about sending me out of the nest while my father told him about how proud he is of my journey. It was a wholesome experience and I thank Sony TV and the team of KBC for such a smooth process,” stated Aneri.
The Kaun Banega Crorepati 14 episode with Aneri Arya will air tonight on Sony TV at 9 pm.
