Recalling last year when she had to go back home from the fastest finger first round, Kavita said that she was scolded. She spoke about how people were disappointed as she was unable to play the game on KBC. Kavita also had to face taunts as people said ‘crorepati ban gayi (you have become a millionaire)’.

Speaking with Indian Express, Kavita said, “Last year, when I couldn’t reach the hot seat from the fastest finger first round, I was so heartbroken. I remember sitting on the set and crying my heart out. Amitabh Bachchan ji then came forward and told me not to be demotivated. His words kept echoing in my mind and I decided to come back, this time with the mission to win."
