Nazia Nasim from Delhi, who described herself as a feminist, won Rs 1 crore on Wednesday's episode and earned a standing ovation from show host Amitabh Bachchan. Nazia Nasim, who is an Indian Institute of Mass Communication pass-out, is a working mother of a nine-year-old son. The episode began with Nazia Nasim continuing the game from last night. She had won Rs 40,000 on Tuesday's episode and took the questions leading up to the 11th one head-on - Nazia Nasim didn't opt for any lifeline till the 11th question.
