Babita Tade a cook by profession, won the grand prize of 1 crore in the latest season of KBC. A living proof that no dreams are small if one has true faith and determination.

The season 11 of very famous show Kaun Banega Crorepati is airing on Sony Television currently. This show that is almost two decades old has been very crucial in making people reach their dreams of becoming a ‘Crorepati’.

She is known for her special khichdi that she makes for all children in the government school as a mid-day meal. Kids lovingly call her “Babita Kaku”. Babita daily cooks food for around 450 kids. She has been doing this job since 2002.

When asked about her job on the show very happily she said “Main apne kaam se bahut khush hu, mujhe sharam nahi aati. Mujhe khichdi pakana bahut acha lagta hai…Khana banane se zyada achi bachho ki khushi lagti hai” (I love my job, I don’t feel ashamed about it. Instead, I love cooking ‘Khichdi’ and more than cooking, the smiling faces of kids make me happy)

What will she do with the money?

I’ll give you one more reason to completely adore Babita Tade.

Mostly on the show, when contestants are asked what they want to do with the money they win their response is to start their own business, complete their education, or buy their own house or a car, and clear their debts etc.

Babita, on the other hand, when asked what she would do if she won big, she responded that she’ll buy a phone. She said that currently her entire family owns just one phone, which is used by all members. So she wants to buy her own phone. Big B was so impressed and moved by her innocence that he gifted her a phone right away.

Babita Tade is all set to take on the jackpot question on KBC now. If she answers it correctly, she will win an amount of Rs 7 crore. Whatever the outcome may be, the thing we can say for sure is that Babita has not just won money; with her thoughts and attitude, she has won millions of hearts.
