The November 6th episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 was full of excitement, tension and a touch of emotion as a young contestant from Maharashtra took the hot seat opposite megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Known for her charm and intelligence, she had earlier won a state-level beauty contest and even represented Maharashtra at the national level. Her poise and wit instantly impressed Big B, who praised her for balancing grace with intellect. ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’: UPSC Aspirant Vikas Singh Pawar Wins Hearts With His Smart Gameplay, Becomes Another Contestant To Reach INR 1 Crore – Did He Shine Under the Spotlight and Turn His Dreams Into Reality?

Contestant Wins INR 5 Lakh

The contestant started off strong, answering the first ten questions with ease and using only one lifeline. Her sharpness continued to shine as she reached the INR 5 lakh question without breaking a sweat. Amitabh Bachchan asked her: In the first Kho Kho World Cup 2025 final, which team did both the Indian men's and women's teams defeat to win their respective titles? The options were: A) Nepal B) Kenya C) Australia D) Iran. Without hesitation, she locked Option A) Nepal, which turned out to be absolutely correct. Her confidence earned her INR 5 lakh and an additional INR 70,000 through the Super Sandook round, reviving her 50-50 lifeline.

Contestant Fails INR 12.50 Lakh Freedom Fighter Question

Moving forward, Big B presented the INR 7.50 lakh question. After using the audience poll lifeline, she went with Option C which was the correct answer. Amitabh Bachchan lauded her for her knowledge and composure. However, the game took a dramatic turn when the INR 12.50 lakh question arrived — one linked to India’s freedom struggle. Big B read out the question: Which freedom fighter died while testing a bomb to contribute to the freedom struggle? The options were: A) Bhagwati Charan Vohra B) Sachindra Nath Sanyal C) Rajendra Lahiri D) Sachindra Bakshi. This time, luck didn’t favour her. She used both her remaining lifelines 50-50 and the hint indicator but still couldn’t arrive at the right answer. After some thought, she locked Option C) Rajendra Lahiri, which sadly turned out to be incorrect. The correct answer was Option A) Bhagwati Charan Vohra, a freedom fighter who sacrificed his life while testing a bomb for India’s independence movement. ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’: Contestant Sonu Singh Loses INR 25 Lakh Question Despite Audience Lifeline; Amitabh Bachchan Warns Him To Play Carefully.
