Day 44 - 10 Ka Dum

I noticed that the candidates on my show spanned in age from 20 to 66 though the majority were in the bracket of 20-45 years. I felt that the younger contestants were full of energy and ambition. But the meaning that money has changes as age advances; my middle-aged contestants were very careful and sensible with the way they took their decisions and played 10 Ka Dum. All my celebrity contestants also wanted to win large sums of money…but for charitable causes. Like young Ranbir who was genuinely upset that he could not win a considerable amount that he wanted to give away in charity. Like Akshay and Katrina who were prepared to contribute from there own pockets when they didn’t win much. Seeing their gesture, the Sony team decided to send Rs. Ten lakh to the charitable trust of their choice. It’s not just the celebrities but I found it really amazing that most contestants decided to give some part of their winnings for charity although their own needs are greater. It is heartening that people care for charitable causes…to care to give back something when you get is another way of being…human.
