Real life Indian Millionaire winner

28 October 2011

In scenes which could have come from the blockbuster film 'Slumdog Millionaire' a man from one of India's poorest states has become the first person to win a $1m jackpot on the Indian version1 of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Sushil Kumar celebrating his win

Report

A modest computer engineer and tutor2 by profession, Sushil Kumar used to draw a monthly3 salary of less than a $150 per month.

Not any more.

In the Indian version of Britain's popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Sushil Kumar has taken home the winner's cheque of $1 million .

Mr Kumar's brother said Sushil was particularly well-informed because he regularly listened to news and current affairs on the BBC's Hindi Service.

And he was understandably delighted with his windfall. "I never thought in my wildest dreams that I could do this," he said.

Mr Kumar plans to pay off his debts and buy a new home for his family.

The TV show, 'Kaun Bangega Crorepati', one of the most popular in India, was aired first in the year 2000, hosted by the noted4 Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan.
