The incidents and the dirty realities that a crusader like @sunita_krishnan brought to light on the KBC episode are so shocking and hurtful. She has done and is doing such incredible work in rescuing women and young girls as little as 3 years old from sex trafficking.

Krishnan, who fights her way against human trafficking, is a victim herself and was allegedly gang-raped by 8 men in her early years as a teen. Furthermore, she also revealed the ground reality of the human trafficking cases in India and said that the youngest victim she saved was a three-year-old girl.
"When I felt that there is an urgent need to help these victims, we created our own community of women named Prajwala which aims to contribute towards uplifting these girls. I am obliged to KBC and Mr Bachchan for giving us a platform where we can fearlessly talk about our journey with the world," Sunitha said as reported by News18.
