Artcle~will buy an elephant with 2 crores

Hot Seat contestant Padmaja has a unique plan if she wins two crores

"If I win the two crores today I will buy an elephant," says teacher Padmaja who reached the hot seat last night. From Vashi, New Bombay, Padmaja adds that she is very fond of animals but loves elephants the most and that's why her plan to get herself an elephant.

Playing very well she reached 25 lakhs last night. She was already ecstatic as she could pay off her loan. "I am very happy because we have a home loan and with this money I can pay that off. That's a huge relief," she told KBClive.

Shah Rukh says he definitely enjoyed playing with Padmaja. "And when she told me at the end of the show that she would be able to pay off her loan I was very touched. I think that's one of the great things about this show. It allows us to achieve our dreams and ambitions."

"But you know her thought of having an elephant was different. And I'm a bit worried for her husband and son! Where will they go once the elephant comes?" adds SRK. "I think they are such gentle giants. And I've told my husband, once I get an elephant he will have to fend for himself as I will be too engrossed in it," she says with a shy smile as her husband, sitting in the audience, joins her in her quest to get an elephant.

Now if only all husbands were that supportive!
