Kaun Banega Crorepati 18: Who Is 'World's Smallest Doctor' Ganesh Baraiah? From Rs 5 Lakh Circus Offer To Winning Hearts On Amitabh Bachchan's Show · freepressjournal.in

Ganesh Baraiah is a doctor from India who is very small — only 3 feet and 4 inches tall.

Many people call him the 'World's Smallest Doctor.'

When Ganesh was in primary school, some circus people visited his home and offered his father Rs 5 lakh to take Ganesh with them.

His father said no and chose education instead of money.

Ganesh studied very hard, scoring 87% in Class 12 and doing very well on the NEET exam.

At first, the medical college did not want to let him join because of his disability.

But Ganesh and his school principal went to court, and the court said he had the right to study to become a doctor.

Today, he works in the paediatrics department of a hospital in Bhavnagar.

He went on a famous TV quiz show called Kaun Banega Crorepati, where he answered questions and won Rs 25,000.

His story shows that people should never give up on their dreams.
