DELHI-BASED Nazia Nasim is the first crorepati of Amitabh Bachchan-hosted show Kaun Banega Crorepati 12. She is grateful to her progressive Muslim family who brought her up with strong values and showed how a husband and wife should collaborate to run a successful family. KBC has been her mother’s dream, says Nazia. “She has been the force behind and encouraging me to do greater things in life. I almost attempted eight to 10 times (to participate in KBC).
 
The year 2020 has been lucky and this was my year for sure,” Nazia told IANS after winning a crore on the quiz show. “She (mom) has been successfully running it for the last 28 years, when it was not in fashion for women to sit in a shop,” said the proud daughter. It’s not just her mom but also her dad, Mohammed Shakeel, who raised her and her sister and brother as equals. “I believe that my community is the woman community. I don’t believe that my community is the Muslim community. I am a woman first, and I will champion their rights irrespective of religion,” said Nazia.
