Nareshi Meena from Rajasthan was the first contestant who attempted Rs 1 crore on Amitabh Bachchan-hosted show Kaun Banega Crorepati 16. However, she failed to answer the question correctly and took home Rs 50 lakh as her prize money. And now, KBC 16 has got its second contestant, who will be attempting Rs 1 crore question on the quiz show. A new promo featuring the contestant is out on social media.

Nareshi Meena on utilising her prize money
After winning Rs 50 lakh on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Nareshi Meena spoke about how she intended to use her prize money. Nareshi, who is battling a brain tumour, wanted to use the money for her medical treatment. But Big B has now taken the responsibility for her medical expenses.
"My purpose for coming to KBC was to recover the cost for proton therapy, but Big B sir said that he would be taking the responsibility of handling all the expenses for it. So I feel free from that responsibility. I had never imagined that this would happen, because I worked so hard for this…," she told Hindustan Times.
