Ayushi’s Mother Opens Up About Her Vision Loss

Contestant Ayushi left everyone shocked when she revealed that she is an IAS officer and currently works as a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Kanjhawla, Delhi. She was accompanied by her mother, who shared that Ayushi suffers from a condition called retinitis pigmentosa. Her mother explained that Ayushi had limited vision during her childhood but eventually lost her eyesight completely. Despite this, she described Ayushi as a cheerful soul, always excited and curious about everything, and someone whose condition never stopped her from dreaming big.

Ayushi Wins INR 5 Lakh

Ayushi used one of her lifelines, the audience poll, while attempting the INR 3 lakh question. The episode ended with her correctly answering the 10th question worth INR 5 lakh. Here’s the last question Ayushi tackled in today’s episode.

Which of these Governor-Generals of India is associated with implementing the Doctrine of Lapse, to take over princely states in the 1850s?

The options provided were:

A. Lord Dalhousie

B. Lord Bentick

C. Lord Lansdowne

D. Lord Elgin

Ayushi chose option A, Dalhousie, which was the correct answer. Big B even signed a special cheque for her instead of the usual online transfer. However, the bell rang before the game could move to the next stage. We keep our fingers crossed that Ayushi will return in tomorrow’s episode for another thrilling round of questions and answers. ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’: Delhi’s Mansi Sharma Wins INR 25 Lakh, Quits on INR 50 Lakh Question; Shares Special Plan With Mother After Big Win.
