Tragic Accident That Made Her Visually Impaired:
In the year 2011, Himani had an unfortunate accident due to which her vision was blurred. Even after multiple operations, doctors could not save her vision. She did not let her hopes down after the traumatic accident and decided to teach and make kids aware of the situations people face who have special abilities.
Talking about her experience, she told in a statement, “To be on Kaun Banega Crorepati and to meet Mr. Bachchan has always been a dream and I’m glad I could fulfill it. Mr. Bachchan made me feel so comfortable on the sets of the show that I didn’t feel nervous at all. My life after the accident hasn’t been easy. A lot of us had to put in an immense amount of work to get back to our daily livelihood, especially my parents and my brothers and sisters. Being a woman who’s visually impaired, I hope my stint on KBC brings a lot of hope to people who are just like me. A lot of students with special abilities do get admissions in schools & colleges but there are no coaching academies for government competitive exams that admit students with any sort of disabilities. With the money I won, I would want to open a coaching academy that trains the ‘divyang’ kids for government competitive exams.”
