The current season of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC), the highly-rated quiz show on Sony TV, continues to engage viewers. The show, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, features contestants who bring their knowledge and personal stories to each episode. In the early episodes, Delhi’s Kashish Singhal made it to the 1 crore question, creating a buzz among the audience. Despite her best efforts, she didn’t win the grand prize.
Facing the challenging 1 crore question, Kashish exhausted all her lifelines. Uncertainty led her to quit the game, choosing to take home 50 lakhs. The question that stumped her was:
Which Visigoth king requested pepper from ancient Rome as a ransom to end a siege of a city, given Rome’s trade with India?
Options:
A. Ludovic
B. Emeric
C. Alaric
D. Theodoric
The correct answer was C, Alaric. Kashish Singhal’s impressive performance showcased her preparation and confidence, resulting in a win of 50 lakh rupees. While she didn’t become a millionaire on the show, the prize money will help her settle her father’s debts.
Kashish shared with Amitabh Bachchan that her father had to sell his shop, leading to a significant debt. Her goal was to win enough on the show to alleviate this burden, and she succeeded. Following her win, she shared the good news with her father through a video call with Amitabh Bachchan.
