The world of middle class India is changing.. here is a regular guy who won Rs 1.5 crore (over USD300,000) in a game show. Now, in India THAT’s big money!
Creating history on television, Ravinder Vats from Faridabad became the first man in the country to take home the biggest prize money from a game show.
The 41-year-old businessman from Haryana initially had no plans to be a part of Zee’s Kam Ya Zyaada that offers a total prize money of three crores.
“My daughter Tanvi coaxed me into watching the show. She wanted me to try my luck at winning the prize money. After winning 9000 loyalty points I got a call from the show on December 13 inviting me to be a part of Kam Ya Zyaada.”

Ravinder had around 10 days time to prepare for the show that requires general knowledge and trivia. “I went to the local library and bought all the latest books on trivia and information about events and places. I would spend around 16 -18 hours daily reading and grasping as much as I could.”He adds that after deciding to be a part of the game, Ravinder wanted to leave no stone unturned. “Once I put my mind to something, I don’t let anything distract me.”
