Asmita could not go beyond the 13th question but in the process, she won many hearts. While on the hot seat with Amitabh, Asmita had shared some details about her life. She hails from the Latur region of Maharashtra. With the money she had earned, Asmita will ensure her brother and sister complete their education. She told Amitabh that her father is 100% blind, while her mother is nearly 40% without vision. In a chat with her father, Asmita’s father mentioned how he was only two or two-and-a-half years old, when he lost his vision. Asmita has been shouldering the responsibility of the family from a tender age, it was revealed. The episode saw Amitabh get emotional.
