Superstar Amitabh Bachchan tells he is happy that his TV
show "Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC) is giving a platform to real life
heroes "to come forward and talk about their initiatives and seek more
participation from viewers across the country".
Lawyer and activist Afroz Shah will be on the hot seat for a
special episode ‘Nai Chah Nai Rah' to raise awareness and pledge support to the
cleanliness drive at Juhu and Versova beaches. The episode will air on Friday
on Sony Entertainment Television.
"This year, KBC is inviting many unsung real life
champions who have helped or contributed towards betterment of our society. The
show becomes a national platform all those heroes to come forward to talk about
their initiative and seek more participation from viewers across the country to
help them achieve their ambition," Amitabh told in a statement.
"Afroz's work is exemplary and we as a team thought of
extending support in our own way. Next time you find Juhu beach unusually
clean, please thank Afroz and his team for their cleanliness drive. I would
urge everyone in the country to help Afroz clean one beach at a time," he further
added.
Afroz intends to clean up 19 beaches across the city.
Amitabh, along with the show's team, gave Afroz two tractors and an excavator.
Speaking about it, Afroz told, "My heart goes out and I
have a deep sense of gratitude, respect love for what the team has done for
me."
