Mumbai : The ninth edition of Kaun Banega Crorepati has got its first crorepati in Jamshedpur's Anamika Mazumdar, a social worker by profession. 

Jamshedpur social worker Anamika Mazumdar broke the jinx with her daring attitude and sheer knowledge.

A source quoted by indianexpress.com says, “Anamika was a very practical and reasonable kind of a person who took each question very seriously. When she reached the crore mark, even with no lifeline left, she reasoned all the options before choosing the right answer. Even Big B was surprised with her confidence and risk-taking attitude.”

Anamika Mazumdar runs a NGO, named Faith in India, which works in a field to uplift women in Jharkhand.

The source added that she will be using a part of prize money for the cause she supports.

The source further shared, “Anamika’s mother was against her taking the bet, as, without a lifeline, she was up for a very big risk. It was her knowledge and reasoning skills that made her win. Both women were left in tears with happiness and excitement. Her mother hugged her tight, pride shining on her face. It was a big moment of joy for the entire team as they finally got their crorepati.”
