We will go running today.
Welcome everyone.
I am Amitabh Bachchan and I welcome all of you.
And let's start with knowledgeable and amazing
Kaun Banega Crorepati.
[cheering]
Thanks to all of you.
Many people are sitting here as well.
Hello everyone.
Enough!
That's enough.
Thank you all. Please sit down.
Thanks to all of you, ladies and gentlemen.
It's a very special day today.
Today, we are going to make you meet a very dedicated India.
In our program today,
two special guests are going to join us.
They have dedicated themselves to the country through treatments.
Dr Abhay Bang and Dr Rani Bang.
[clapping]
Before that, we will finish our game.
Dedicated to his objectives...
We have a UPSC aspirant who is dedicated to his goals.
Naman Jain is here with us today.
- A hearty welcome to you. - Thank you, sir.
With all his lifelines intact, he had won Rs 5,000 yesterday.
Today's game will start with the fifth question.
- Have you brought someone with you? - Sir, my mom and dad are here.
- Oh, okay. Hello to you. - Hello, sir.
- What is your name? - Deepa Jain.
- What is your name, sir? - Sanjay Jain.
Welcome to both of you. A round of applause for them.
All right, Naman and everyone, let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati.
[clapping]
Before starting the game, I want to ask you a question.
For coming here,
is there some special reason?
Sir, I would like to reveal two things.
Sir, first of all, this is the platform where whatever I've studied
and with whatever knowledge I have gained,
- I can win something on my own. - Right. Okay.
We see among the youth that there should always be a backup plan.
There is a lot of competition in government exams.
So, there is a lot of uncertainty up to that point.
So, that's why... First, I planned to do an MBA.
I did the MBA. Then I did a job for one and a half years.
I earned some money from it.
Now, I finance my own studies.
- When I started earning... - You are financing it. - Yes.
- That is really good. - I took a loan for the MBA fees.
And I am still paying that loan with my own money.
I want to become self-reliant. I have learned it from my dad
that one should do such things. One should do it for oneself.
That loan will be repaid with the prize I win here.
I am doing my preparations in Delhi.
So, there are costs of living, coaching and the books.
So, whatever I would win from here, I would invest it for my knowledge.
All right, Naman.
May god fulfil all your wishes.
Those are our hopes and prayers.
So, let's start the game.
Today's first question will be the fifth one worth Rs 10,000.
Naman, the fifth question worth Rs 10,000 is here on your screen.
[tense music playing]
Look at the options.
Sir, it's the button through which laziness spreads around the world.
So, whenever tries to wake up first, they press the snooze button.
They sleep for a few minutes more.
They don't even realise when around 15-20 minutes pass.
- You are right. - The answer is Option D, Snooze.
- Please lock it. - Mr Computer, he is asking to lock Option D.
You gave the right answer.
[mellow music playing]
[clapping]
All right.
[mellow music playing]
Naman, as you know, it's time for Super Sawaal now.
A question will come in front of you.
Mr Computer, please present the Super Sawaal question to Naman.
[tense music playing]
- Sir, I think this was during 1919. - Okay.
There was Satyagraha.
Rowlatt Satyagraha was organised by Gandhi and others
against the Rowlatt Act.
- So, I would like to go with 1919. - Okay.
Naman is saying 1919. Please lock it.
You gave the right answer. Wow!
Well played, Naman.
- Thank you, sir. - Amazing!
Putting someone in jail without any trial came under the Rowlatt Act.
Okay. Now, you have a superpower
which is known as Dugnaastra.
[clapping]
The sixth question worth Rs 20,000 is coming to you.
Here it is on your screen, Naman.
[tense music playing]
The time is up. I'll give you the options.
- Sir, please lock Option C, 16. - He is asking to lock Option C, 16.
You gave the right answer. Congratulations.
[clapping]
If two-thirds are present, it means that one-third are absent.
- One-third of 48 is 16. - 16. - Okay.
16 threes are 48.
Yes.
[clapping]
All right, Naman. We'll move forward.
The seventh question worth Rs 40,000
is here on your screen.
[tense music playing]
The options are here.
CSK...
It was Dhoni and Jadeja this time. Shreyas Iyer was for KKR.
It was Hardik Pandya for MI.
Hyderabad...
[timer ticking]
Sir, Option A, SRH.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad. - SRH? - Yes.
He is asking to lock Option A, SRH.
You gave the right answer. Wow.
- Pat Cummins. It was Pat Cummins. - Yes.
- He was the captain for SRH. - I had to think a bit.
There was a lot of reshuffle in the IPL during this time.
- So, I had to think who the captain was. - Yeah.
You seem like a cricket lover. That's why you knew the answer.
- Is it true or not? - Yes, sir. I watch cricket a lot.
Ever since my childhood, mom, dad and everyone likes to watch cricket.
- Wonderful. - Everyone watches cricket together. - Okay.
All right. Let's go ahead with the game.
The eighth question for Rs 80,000 is here on your screen, Naman.
[tense music playing]
The options are here.
[timer ticking]
Tab key.
Tablet... It can't be Table.
Tabernacle. Tabulator.
[timer ticking]
- We use the tab key a lot. - Yeah.
It is used to switch the windows.
But...
I have never heard of the Tabernacle.
I think it should be Tabernacle.
- You're losing time. - I'll use the Audience Poll lifeline.
Calm down. Please calm down.
Naman can't answer this question.
Please highlight the Audience Poll lifeline.
Audience, keep your voting meters with you.
Your time starts now.
[tense music playing]
[pensive music playing]
Option D, Tabulator has gotten a lot of votes.
74 per cent.
- Sir, I would like to go with the audience. - Will you?
Option D, Tabulator. Yes, sir.
Naman is asking to lock Option D.
This is amazing, audience. Well played.
[clapping]
The tab key originated from the typewriter.
This is from the time when typists used to make data tables.
It has many uses on the contemporary keyboard.
Switching between the windows
and managing the margins.
All right. The Dugnaastra is still active.
Two questions are left to activate it.
The ninth question is coming now.
The ninth question for Rs 1,60,000 is here on your screen.
[tense music playing]
[mellow music playing]
You have gotten a chance to win double the amount.
You pressed the buzzer. I will read the whole question now.
Here are your options.
Sir, the answer is Option A, Madhya Pradesh-Rajasthan.
He is asking to lock Option A.
That is the right answer.
Well played, Naman.
[clapping]
You have won Rs 1,60,000.
You will also get a bonus of Rs 1,60,000
that we will transfer right away.

the areas of East Rajasthan, Malwa and Chambal
will be provided with industrial water for irrigation and drinking.
- You must have read about it in your studies. - Yes, sir.
- All right. - Yes.
You have answered nine questions correctly.
The tenth question will come to you now.
The second threshold of the game.
As you know, we give a warning on this level.
Don't take any chances.
You will get this opportunity only once.
The tenth question for Rs 3,20,000 is here on your screen.
[tense music playing]
Look at the options.
[timer ticking]
Sir, I have read about it.
I think it is INS Talwar.
I think the answer could be INS Talwar, but...
It's because
India has launched a few warships. So, I am a bit confused.
as to what the answer could be.
Hmm.
I think Talwar was launched recently.
Sir, I would like to use a lifeline.
- Do you want to use a lifeline? - Yes. - Okay. Calm down.
- You have 12 seconds left. - Yes. - You have two lifelines.
Hmm.
- Sir, Video Call A Friend. - Video Call. Okay.
Video Call A Friend. Please highlight it.
You gave three names. Who will you talk to?
Arihant Jain.
Nancy Jain.
Prachi Agarwal.
- Sir, I would like to call Arihant Jain. - Arihant Jain. Okay.
Please video call Mr Arihant Jain.
Is he your relative?
Sir, he is my younger brother.
He is the younger brother. Oh, all right.
I am preparing for UPSC right now. So, he keeps quizzing me.
- He studies with me. - All right.
So, he has vast knowledge.
So, on that basis, I think he might have an idea.
Mr Arihant, hello to you.
- It's Amitabh Bachchan speaking. - Hello.
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
- Your elder brother is sitting in front of me. - Okay.
He will read a question in some time.
He will give you four options, A, B, C and D.
You will have 45 seconds to give the answer.
- Okay? - Yes, sir.
The next voice will be of Naman now. Are you ready?
- Are you ready, Naman? - Yes, sir.
Naman, your time starts now.
I have read it somewhere. Just a second.
July, 2024.
In July 2024...
There are ten seconds left.
- No, I don't know about it. - Option A, Beas.
[timer ends]
I don't remember.
The younger brother couldn't answer it.
He didn't know the answer.
The timer has started. Tell us what to do now.
You have eight seconds left.
Sir, I would lock Option D, INS Sahyadri.
Please lock Option D, INS Sahyadri.
Well, that is the wrong answer.
INS Brahmaputra was the right answer.
When there was a fire on board, at the Mumbai Naval dockyard,
there was maintenance work going on for INS Brahmaputra.
That's when it got on fire.
I am feeling very sad.
I felt that since the fire was on that side,
I thought that Brahmaputra...
I thought INS Brahmaputra could be on the eastern coast.
So, I answered Sahyadri, thinking of the western coast.
No problem.
You have come down to Rs 10,000.
We will transfer this Rs 10,000.
You have already won Rs 1,60,000.
We hope that this prize money
could be used for repaying your education loan.
[clapping]
This is a digital app. Your name is here.
Your account number is here.
We will press Transfer Now.
It has been transferred to your bank account.
It was quick, safe and easy.
All right.
With a round of applause,
we congratulate and say goodbye to you.
Thank you so much.
Bad luck, Naman. You were playing very well.
- Yes, sir. - No problem.
You should teach your younger brother a lesson.
[clapping]
Ladies and gentlemen, let me talk about purpose.
All of us have some purpose in our lives.
The purpose made for oneself gives success.
The purpose made for family gives happiness.
But sacrificing oneself for the sake of other people
gives satisfaction, significance and contentment to life.
To such people,
our special segment KarmVeer has been dedicated.
Dr. Rani Bang and Dr. Abhay Bang,
[music playing]
This doctor couple took a pledge
of selfless social service
and made a village like Gadchiroli in Maharashtra
their workplace.
They have infused the lives of the residents
with joy and positivity.
We've created a video presentation about them.
I encourage all of you to check it out!
[birds chirping]
In 1986, we arrived in Gadchiroli.
Back then, it was a new district in Maharashtra.
It was known for its isolated tribal communities and dense forests.
Government jobs there were often viewed as a punishment.
In this area, malaria was extremely prevalent.
There were issues like tuberculosis, malnutrition, child mortality,
and health problems among women.
Clearly, health challenges were abundant.
Healthcare was nearly non-existent.
We came here and we established a hospital.
It was monsoon.
It was dark. After a long day of seeing patients, I returned home.
I barely got some rest
when I heard a knock at the door.
Before I could open the door,
two women frantically barged into our house.
In the arms of one woman
was a small, skinny child.
I placed him on my bed
and noticed that he was a newborn.
He looked very malnourished
and was showing signs of dehydration.
He was breathing, so I took out my stethoscope.
I heard a sound in the baby's chest,
I thought to myself that it might be pneumonia.
Then, just like that, the child stopped breathing.
And he passed away on my bed.
I was helpless.
Didn't you think of leaving when that happened?
How could we leave? This was a challenge.
A child died.
More children could have died if we had left.
[somber music playing]
How would we cope if we lost our child in such a way?
[somber music playing]
Coming to Gadchiroli from America doesn't resolve the problem.
Setting up hospitals for the indigenous people
in the forest isn't the solution either.
A newborn
can't even make it out of dark rooms.
Therefore, medical science needs to reach them instead.
They've managed to reduce
mortality rates and pneumonia in Gadchiroli.
I see them as a blessing from God.
A snake bit me.
I called them, and the ambulance came here in ten minutes.
I don't know what their team did.
But they saved me.
Mr. Bang is like God to me.
We have covered some distance,
but there's still a long way ahead of us.
Woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
[audience applauding]
With their tireless efforts
and unwavering belief, they have given life
to more than millions of people,
becoming the lifeline of Gadchiroli.
This is a remarkable testament to the evolving India.
A warm welcome to
Dr. Rani Bang and Dr. Abhay Bang!
[audience applauding]
A heartfelt welcome! We truly appreciate you making time for us.
That was a very intense scene we saw in the video.
Tell us about the current health status of Gadchiroli.
When we went there, it was in a terrible state.
There was malnutrition, malaria, child mortality, and snake bites.
Now, after working for them for 35 years,
I will give you an example.
When we first went there, we counted the infant mortality rate
in a population of one lakh.
It was 121.
That means
out of every 1,000 children born, 121 would die within a year.
With all the efforts and new methods we developed,
that number has now come down to 22.
Wow!
Secondly, the methods we developed in research
for saving newborn infants and combatting pneumonia
have had an impact beyond Gadchiroli.
The Lancet published these findings,
which led the Government of India to incorporate them
into its national policy.
Therefore, 1 million ASHAs in India, spread across various villages,
are to some extent based on the Gadchiroli model.
With the provision of training, today,
this service reaches 1.5 crore children in India
- every year through ASHAs. - Wow!
There was an impact on Gadchiroli.
And fortunately, there was an impact on India as well.
Beyond India as well.
Many countries have accepted it.
[audience applauding]
How did you come to the sudden conclusion
that this is where you wanted to go?
And how did you think about starting this?
There are many illnesses here that need treatment.
How did you research that?
It was not all of a sudden.
My dad was a professor in economics who earned a gold medal.
He was going to go to America.
He went to meet Mr. Gandhi to seek his blessing.
Mr. Gandhi said that if he wanted to study economics,
he should instead go to the villages of India rather than America.
He tore his admission papers over there
- and he lived in a village. - Okay.
I was born when he was over there.
One could say that this has been instilled in me since childhood.
I went to become a doctor
with the intention of improving health in the villages of India.
Wow!
[audience applauding]
Before enrolling ourselves in Johns Hopkins we had decided
that we will return.
Foreign doctors conduct research
on issues in India.
Why shouldn't we research on our nation's problems
and find a solution?
Because our objective
was not just to conduct research
- and publish papers or advance our academic careers. - Okay.
Our aim was to figure out how it could help our people.
Therefore, we thought that research
- should be both for the people and by the people. - Okay!
Congratulations to both of you.
You are familiar that on this platform
we play Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Questions will be asked.

Oh, okay!
Because of her, we started making South Indian food.
- I love the Masala Dosa she makes. - Yes!
[audience applauding]
For your information,
Abhay likes milk and jam
that his mom makes.
I used to like it.
After marriage, I like what my wife makes.
[laughing]
I can only make tea and nothing else.
Sir, at least you make tea.

Ladies and gentlemen, the audio clip you heard
was courtesy of Saregama.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to them.
The... Look!
[bugle sounds]
The bugle will keep going off.
This indicates Super Sawaal.
[music playing]
Mr. Computer, please present the Super Sawaal
to Dr. Abhay Bang and Dr. Rani Bang.
Present the question!
[music playing]
- You don't have options or a time limit. - Okay!
I will lock the answer you give.
- Heart! - Heart? All right!
Their answer is heart. Lock heart!
Sir, you gave the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Congratulations to both of you.
Now that you have answered the Super Sawaal correctly,
you have been bestowed with a superpower
we call Dugnaastra.
You can use this once.
Dugnaastra will be active till the tenth question. Okay!

He wishes to lock B, Greenhouse gases.
It is the right answer.
You won Rs. 20,000.
[audience applauding]
Dr. Rani, I would like to know
what challenges you have to face.
Dr. Abhay, you mentioned
that there are illnesses
and infant mortality.
What challenges
did you face?
There were a lot of challenges.
People had to accept us.
- Yes! - Because they used to believe in traditional medicines.
- They relied on ritualistic or spiritual practices. - Okay!
When we went to train the workers,
we found that illiteracy was quite high.
They had never seen outsiders come in
- to help before. - Yes.
So, building trust among the people was a significant challenge for us.
- I would like to share an instance. - Sure.
Rani is a gynaecologist.
Rani performed the first caesarean section in that area.
Oh!
And such news spreads like wildfire.
So, people's trust...
Most of the times, we were low on blood.
I remember an instance
- where a woman with obstructed labour came in. - Okay.
Rani needed to perform a caesarean section on her.
There was a requirement for blood.
Since I had donated blood just 15 days ago,
I couldn't do it again.
So, she donated blood first,
I administered the anaesthesia, and then she carried out the C-section.
Oh!
[audience applauding]
In the first two years, we gradually began our work
in healthcare.
We visited various villages
and held meetings with the people of the village.
We asked them about their health issues
and their perceptions of different diseases.
We also inquired about where they go for treatment
- and why they choose to see tribal healers. - Yes.
Based on this information,
we established our hospital,
We named it Maa Danteshwari Hospital.
In honour of the Supreme Goddess
revered by the Gond tribals.
Because we named the hospital Maa Danteshwari, people told us
that it doesn't belong to us.
They said it's not Prime Minister's or the Chief Minister's
and that this is their hospital.
Oh!
[audience applauding]
Doctors wear white coats in hospitals.
They said that they covered the dead in white cloth.
So, they suggested that the doctors shouldn't wear white coats,
otherwise, they will not come to the hospital.
They also asked us to make huts for them.
Small huts.
And not big wards.
And low-cost medicines.
- Because medicines are expensive - Yes.
The medicines have to be cheap.
We built the hospital based on their suggestions.
[pleasant music playing]
This hospital is Dr. Rani Bang and Dr. Abhay Bang's dream.
They started it for the villagers.
We see
a lot of patients every day. Around 250 patients visit.
There are days when there are 300 patients.
We conduct ECGs and have X-ray facilities available.
There are indoor services here,
including an ICU, casualty department,
and surgical ward.
Esteemed doctors from across Maharashtra provide their services
free of charge.
We have been working over there for the last 20 years.
We've been performing spine surgery over there for the last 15 years.
We go over there every three months,
to carry out around 30 complex spine surgeries.
Who knows if I would have been alive
if I hadn't undergone surgery.
The cost of treatment elsewhere exceeds a lakh,
the tribal community can access it at no charge here.
They get to eat and stay for free.
At 84, I feel like I'm 21.
It's been so many days...
I operate from here. I come to the hospital from here.
This house
was built by me.
'We are two people, but we shared one dream.'
'That we would become doctors,'
'but how would we provide healthcare to the village?'
[sombre music]
'I would say that the foundation is thought and value,'
'while we are the walls and roof of it.'
[applause]
You've said something truly beautiful, doctor.
Your hospital is no less than a temple.
And I have met
many renowned doctors, such as the spine specialist.
He is an expert in spinal treatment.
It's remarkable
that he speaks so highly of you. It's remarkable!
[applause]
But to gather all of this,
must have required a great deal of money.
How did it begin? Where did the funds come from?
We had no money.
When we wanted to go to America to study,
we didn't even have enough for the air tickets.
So, we sold Rani's scooter
and my stethoscope and bought tickets to go.
When we returned, we had no money left.
Fortunately, we had some credibility.
Perhaps we were eager to do good work.
So, many people placed their trust in us.
There were individuals who believed in us.
The Indian government supported us.
We conducted extensive research.
- Yes. - The Indian Council of Medical Research was involved.
International organisations also contributed.
Everything was funded by public money.
And even today, it is supported by public funds.
Yes, yes.
I must say,
society and people are remarkably generous.
If they feel that some noble work is being done,
or that there is credibility behind the cause,
- people... - Step forward on their own.
On their own and...
- They give generously. - Yes, yes.
If you have a good cause,
fund is never a constraint.
That is true.
[applause]
Alright, doctor. Let us proceed with the game.
Because...
We hope you will take a significant sum home with you.
Here comes your seventh question.
This one is worth Rs 40,000.
Here's the seventh question on the screen.
[music playing]
[time ticking]
- D, Funny bone. - D, Funny bone. Okay.
Please lock D, Funny bone.
Yes, it's the right answer. D, Funny Bone. Right answer.
[applause]
Everyone began to feel their elbows.
Sir, this is rather odd.
It gives a peculiar sensation when struck.
Allow me to share something else.
You can never kiss this part of your body.
[laughter]
- Am I correct? - Absolutely.
Even I know a few things. Right?
Alright!
Here comes the eighth question.
You stand to win Rs 80,000 for this one.
Here is the question on the screen.
[music playing]
[time ticking]
- It was in Baltimore, right? - Lock Baltimore...
It's not Atlanta.
- Not Phoenix... - Phoenix... - Not Austin... - Austin...
C, Baltimore.
He's asking us to lock C Baltimore.
Well played, sir. It's the right answer!
[applause]
[speaking in Marathi]
You've just won Rs 80,000!
Baltimore is a major city in Maryland.
In the Native American language, Chesapeake means,
a village by a large river.
Chesapeake Bay.
Now, just one personal question. Please don't take offence.
First, could you tell us how you both met?
[chuckles]
That's an intriguing story.
In 1968, it was my first day in medical college.
The boy standing next to me at the dissection table
pointed out a girl in the distance.
She was a slim, delicate girl.
Wearing glasses, she was intently dissecting.
I asked, what was so special about her?
In the 1968 batch,
I was the university topper.
- Okay! - He said
she was originally the topper of the university
in the previous year. But she was underage,
so she joined us this year.
So now, you both, the university toppers, are in the same batch.
So, be cautious.
Oh...
That's how I saw Rani for the very first time.
We studied together for nine years.
We attended the same medical college, from MBBS to MD.
She came from a wealthy family.
But her attitude, her values...
And her compassion for the less fortunate.
To be honest, I was deeply impressed by her attitude.
[romantic music]
And
if I may say so, you might find it hard to believe.
It was only after I proposed to her
that I realised how beautiful she was.
[laughing]
[instrumental music]
- She was absolutely brilliant. - Yes.
But most of all, it was her compassion for those around her.
She had so much love for everyone she encountered.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
That's it. Even I was drenched in it.
[laughter]
[applause]
Only 20 people from both families attended our wedding.
There was no formal 'kanyadan.'
I told my parents
I am not something that can be donated.
That's marvellous! Wow, wow, wow!
[sombre music]
I also opposed the tradition of the nuptial chain.
Because
when a man dies, the woman is forced to remove the nuptial chain.
- Yes. - So, I remarked that if the wife passes away earlier,
what would the husband take off?
- Amazing! Wow! - For the wife...
[applause]
Our marriage...
The one who was with Gandhi ji at his 'ashram'...
- Yes, yes. - His prodigy.
He officiated our wedding.
- Oh... - And within 20 to 25 minutes the ceremony was complete.
Alright.

[applause]
Here is a cheque for Rs 3,20,000 in the name of the ashram.
[applause]
Wow!
I just want to know if there has
ever been any such patient or any such incident
that haunts or troubles you even today.
Addiction is a disease that often does not go away.
Just like cancer takes over you,
addiction also does the same thing.
Be it alcohol or nicotine.
We were passing through a village in the jeep.
There was a hand pump where an 8-year-old girl
was brushing her teeth in the evening.
So I was pleased and patted her.
Then the old people there started laughing.
They said, 'Doctor, this girl is crazy'.
'She brushes her teeth every two hours.'
Why? So when I went and saw
- that the tobacco powder, you know? - Yeah.
She used to clean her teeth with that.
An 8-year-old tribal girl became a nicotine addict.
She used to get withdrawal symptoms every two hours,
and she had to get a new dose.
We have conducted a survey in the district,
and 44 percent of the district's population
consumes tobacco regularly.
So, there is no medically effective treatment
- for alcohol and tobacco addiction. - Right.
And it still troubles us a lot.
One of the next challenges that we want to solve.
How to solve this?
We organise deaddiction camps in villages.
Our mental health team
awakens the entire village and takes their consensus.
That if alcohol causes harm, we'll ban alcohol in the entire village.
So today, there are about 700 villages in Gadchiroli...
There are a total of 1600 villages.
700 villages have banned liquor in their villages.
Wow, that's great.
[applause]
May you be strong and successful.
- This is our only prayer. - Thank you, sir.
[applause]

[title music playing]
Yerawada.

Aga Khan...
Aga Khan or Yerawada jail?
Yerawada Jail is in Pune,
and Aga Khan Palace is also in Pune.
So the question is, where was he in 1934?
- Yerawada... - So we'll use Double Dip. - Double Dip? Okay.
They want to use Double Dip. Please mark it.
They both are in Pune. I am not sure.

Yerawada Jail.
Please lock option D, Yerawada Jail.
This was the right answer! Well done!
[applause]
- You were right. - Hmm.
You have won 12,50,000 rupees.
Mahatma Gandhi compiled about 250 hymns
in several languages in the Ashram Bhajanavali.
And he translated them into English
during his imprisonment in Yerawada Jail in 1930.
And it also had songs of Christianity, Islam,
Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Saint Kabir.
Till now, we were asking questions.
Questions came from the public also.
But the public, especially those behind me,
also has many doctors and medical students.
And they want to ask you some questions about your work.
So I permit you now. Who would like to ask the question?
Yes.
Greetings, sir! Greetings, ma'am!
My name is Dr Jigar Mistry. I am from Valsad, Gujarat.
My question to you is
that just like you take care of thousands of needy people every day.
So when you ever need help, who takes care of you?
[laughing]
My spinal cord...
Well, we both take care of each other,
but let me give you two examples.
Rani had a severe spinal cord problem,
and she might suffer paralysis in both her legs.
So Dr Shekhar Bhojraj wanted
- to have Rani's spine surgery done. - Yeah, I remember.
But after seeing Rani, he said that he would do spine surgery in Mumbai.
So Rani said that if you do surgery on tribals here,
- then do my surgery here too. - That's wonderful.
Otherwise, how can we tell the tribals
that spine surgery can be done in the forest?
[applause]
So, Dr Shekhar Bhojraj and his team did Rani's surgery there only.
While working in that forest, I had my first
heart attack at the age of 39.
But at that time, Rani took me to Nagpur in emergency
and took me to ICU, and when I survived,
I have been working for the last 30 years.
So we have to care for each other.
[applause]
Anybody else that wants to ask a question?
- Yes. - Greetings, sir! Greetings, ma'am!
Sir, we all know that you did your masters
from a very reputable institute, Johns Hopkins.
Sir, if you wanted, you could have lived a life of luxury and comfort,
but what is that thing that motivated you
and you came here and started serving everyone?
There should be a purpose and aim in life.
Without it, there is nothing in luxury and comfort.
So, we were searching for a purpose
that would make life meaningful.
Now that I had become a doctor, what was the meaning of it?
It was meaningful where it was needed.
So, luxury and comfort are temporary, aren't they?
We eat ice cream and feel good for a while,
but then what happens? We crave more.
Instead, it's the search for meaning that took us to Gadchiroli
and still sustains us there.
[applause]
Greetings, sir! Greetings, ma'am!
I am Dr Surali.
I have heard that both your children
support you a lot in your hospital, Maa Danteshwari.
You must be so proud of them, right?
Of course, we are proud of them.
Our younger son Amrut was six months old when we went to Gadchiroli.
When it was time for him to go to school, he rebelled.
So, we home-schooled him.
Later, he also became an engineer and studied in the US.
Amrut and his wife, his wife is a psychiatrist,
So Amrut... We have a program called NIRMAN for youth
that makes the youth of India aware of social realities.
And it helps us find what gives meaning to our lives.
So yes, both our children
work there with us and are dedicated to Gadchiroli.
- We are so proud of it. - Well said.
[applause]
Now, let's get back to the game again.
- Mr Amitabh, wait a minute... - You... Huh?
- You need a shawl? - Yeah.
She is feeling cold. Would you please give her a shawl?
Oh, yes. A shawl!
Thank you.
Anything else?
- Let me fix the mic. - Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
Here is the 13th question for you.
And it's for Rs 25,00,000.
