Amitabh Bachchan honours manual scavenging activist Bezwada Wilson on KBC 12

For Kaun Banega Crorepati 12's Karamveer special episode, Amitabh Bachchan welcomed Ramon Magsaysay awardee Bezwada Wilson. An Indian activist and one of the founders and National Convenor of the Safai Karmachari Andolan (SKA), Bezwada Wilson has been campaigning for the eradication of manual scavenging since 1993.

Director Anubhav Sinha took to his Twitter handle to share a picture of Wilson along with Anup Soni and Amitabh Bachchan on Friday. He wrote, "Mr Bezwada Wilson has worked against Manual Scavenging for decades. So good to see @SrBachchan honoring a man like that on KBC. There is still a lot of muck to be cleaned from people's minds. Yo @soniiannup I look forward to the episode!!!" [sic]

A user commented on Sinha's post and wrote, "His fight against Manual Scavenging is commendable. His voice should reach as far as possible." [sic]

Wilson on the episode told Big B, "Till date, I am not ready to accept that I am untouchable. I am just a citizen of this nation like everyone else, a human being. No human being is happy to accept that they are untouchable. I have not chosen to be a bhangi but people have made me a sacavenger."
