Here's her Untold Story

Himani, who was born and brought up in Agra, saw her first KBC program at the age of nine. She even planned gameshow-style quizzes with her buddies. She has since wished to participate in the program, appear on television, and get to know Amitabh Bachchan.

But things started to change when she discovered Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University, Lucknow. She stated, "At this institution, regular students and students with disabilities will study together, and I could talk to others who shared some of my impairments also; thanks to the institution and my friends, I came out of my shell and earned a Bachelor's in Education and was hired as a maths teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Agra."

Himani applied for Season 13 of KBC in 2021 and kept pursuing her desire to compete in the competition. She thought it was a dream come true when she got nominated. She added, "I was nervous and excited while on the KBC set; my attention was dispersed throughout the fastest finger competition, but I remembered why I was there. In addition to helping my family and the disadvantaged community, it was to satisfy my childhood goals."
