Sony TV’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC) continues its successful run with its 17th season, captivating viewers. The show, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, combines the thrill of a quiz with the personal stories of the contestants. Early in the season, Kashish Singhal from Delhi made headlines by reaching the coveted 1 crore question. Though she played exceptionally well, she didn’t clinch the ultimate prize.
Faced with the challenging 1 crore question, Kashish used all her available lifelines. Due to her lack of certainty, she decided to quit the game, opting to take home 50 lakhs. The question that presented the obstacle was:
Which Visigoth king requested pepper from ancient Rome as a ransom to lift a siege of a city, a location of Rome’s trade with India?
Options:
A. Ludovic
B. Emeric
C. Alaric
D. Theodoric
The correct answer to this question was C, Alaric. Kashish Singhal displayed remarkable knowledge and composure throughout the competition, successfully winning 50 lakh rupees. Although she didn’t achieve millionaire status, the prize money provided her with the opportunity to help her father with his debts.
Kashish shared with Amitabh Bachchan that her father had to sell his shop, resulting in significant debt. She expressed her desire to win enough on the show to assist her father, and her wish was fulfilled. Following her win, she shared her success with her father through a video call, in front of Amitabh Bachchan.
