The 17th season of Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati continues to draw viewers to the personal journeys of contestants reflecting the aspirations of millions across India. The emotional journey of contestants, along with the intellectual questions, makes KBC one of the most loved shows in the country. The latest season of the popular quiz show began on August 14, and so far, only one contestant has become a crorepati. ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’: Ashish Sharma, Who Works in Rajasthan CM’s Office, Loses INR 12.5 Lakh After Wrong Answer – Do You Know the Answer?.

Contestant Avneesh Kaur Bhatia Shares Her Journey

In the September 29 episode of the show, Avneesh Kaur Bhatia from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, took the hot seat. She bravely opened up about the challenges she has faced, having lost her left leg below the knee in an accident at the age of 14. Her mother fondly recalled her childhood, describing Avneesh as a cheerful and lively girl who radiated happiness. The accident brought immense difficulties, and it seemed to dim some of her early spark. Yet, seeing her today, her journey inspired everyone around her.

Avneesh Kaur Bhatia Wins INR 2 Lakh Before Quitting

On Monday’s episode, Avneesh confidently answered every question and walked away with INR 2 lakh in winnings. However, her run came to a halt at the 9th question. By then, she had only one lifeline left - the Sanket Suchak, but even that couldn’t help her tackle the tricky question worth INR 3 lakh. Amitabh Bachchan then presented the question, which read: A massive earthquake near which country's Kamchatka peninsula led to tsunami warnings being issued in July 2025?

The Sanket Suchak lifeline revealed that this country collaborated with India to develop the BrahMos supersonic missile. Avneesh had no clue about the answer and didn’t want to take the risk.
