Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) Season 17, hosted by Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, continues to captivate audiences with its engaging episodes since premiering on August 11, 2025. In a recent Instagram promo, contestant Mansi Sharma, a robotics engineer at Microsoft, took the hot seat, sharing her inspiring journey. Bachchan’s charisma and witty interactions added charm to the episode, keeping viewers hooked on the popular quiz-based reality show aired on Sony TV.

Mansi revealed her two lifelong dreams: working at Microsoft and appearing on KBC. Reflecting on her childhood, she recalled being inspired by the Microsoft logo appearing on computer screens, fueling her ambition to join the tech giant. “From that moment, I knew I had to make something happen there,” she told Bachchan.

Her passion for robotics was ignited during a student exchange program in Japan, where she was one of 25 selected participants. Observing robots performing cleaning tasks, unlike human cleaners in India, sparked her interest in the field, leading to her career in robotics engineering.

In a surprising moment, Mansi showcased a robot she designed, named Basanti, a nod to Hema Malini’s iconic character from the 1975 film Sholay, co-starring Bachchan. The revelation delighted the host and audience, blending her technical expertise with a playful Bollywood connection. Her story highlighted determination and innovation, resonating with KBC’s theme of celebrating aspiration.
