Ladies and gentlemen, with me on the hot seat
is our rollover contestant, a Sanskrit scholar
- and professor, Dr. Raghavendra. - 'Bengaluru, Karnataka'
[audience applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time the hot seat
is graced by a scholar of a language
that is not just the base of Indian languages,
but of many other languages around the world.
Where English has only one word to denote "love",
Sanskrit has over 200 words.
[audience applauding]
That's right.
So, with much love and ardour,
let's begin the game with dear Dr. Raghavendra.
With all his lifelines intact, he won Rs. 10,000 yesterday.
Congratulations to you.
- And welcome once again. - Thank you.
[audience applauding]
Dr. Raghavendra's mother is here with us.

All right. Let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[audience applauding]
I wish you all the best. As you're aware,
after the fifth question comes the Super Sawaal,
and the bugle has sounded!
[bugle sounds]
I did tell you a little about the Super Sawaal.
You will be presented with a question
which will not have any options.
There shall be no time restriction.
If answered correctly,
it bestows the contestant with a superpower
which is called Dugnaastra.
[conch blowing]
[audience applauding]
So, Mr. Computer, please present the Super Sawaal!

Here is the question, Doctor.
Mumbai Ranji.
He says Mumbai. Please lock it.
It's the right answer. Well done.

So, Doctor, you now possess a superpower
which is called the Dugnaastra.
[buzzer sounds]
I was waiting to hear that.
Sir, as I told you, the sixth question is up next.
From questions six to ten,
if you feel you can answer the question

For instance, the next question is for Rs. 20,000.
If your answer is correct, you'll win another Rs. 20,000.

He says Goswami Tulsidas.
Please lock D, Goswami Tulsidas.

[audience applauding]

He's one of the biggest names in Indian literature.

Mr. Computer here is really intelligent
and very resourceful too.
It found one of your videos.
May we show the audience the video?
- Okay? All right. - Sure.
Mr. Computer, play the video made on Dr. Raghavendra.
[music playing]
[vocalization]
[engine turns and revs]
[vocalization concludes]
[audience applauding]
Dr. Raghavendra, I find it hard to believe
that apart from being a Sanskrit scholar,
you're a biker too!
[laughter]
What places have you been to?
And how did this interest come about?
- I have been fond of bikes since childhood. - Okay.
I have covered all the South Indian states on bike
and I rode to Gujarat as well.
Sometimes, I go with a group and at times, I ride solo.
I am terrified of bikers.
I am scared, sir.
I know how to ride...
You rode a bike in 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar' so well.
Please don't mention...
[audience applauding]
The thing is, we are artists.
And once the camera starts rolling,
we have to show our talent.
We have to pretend that we can ride well.
I was shaking like a leaf during that scene.
- I had to sing. - Yes.
I also had to ride the bike and even let go of the handlebar.
They didn't ask me to let go of it, I did it for fun.
And it worked.
[audience applauding]
And people like you assume that I'm a good biker,
but that's not true.
I don't like it.
I'm afraid as it is more prone to accidents.
That's true.
Well, I have done many campaigns on road safety.
Please wear a helmet.
The one riding pillion should also wear a helmet.
All right. Moving on to the ninth question.
- And the Dugnaastra is still available. - Yes, sir.
Up next is the ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000.
You still have one lifeline left.
It appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
C, France.
- C, France! - Yes.
- Shall I lock it? - Yes, sir.
Please lock C.
It's the right answer.
[audience applauding]
You won Rs. 1,60,000.
This year, French President Emmanuel Macron
was the chief guest.
He's the fifth President of France
and attended the event as the chief guest.
- Yes, sir. - All right.
Up next is the tenth question and the second threshold.
You will get this opportunity only once.
- So, please don't take any chances. - Yes.
This is your last chance to avail of the Dugnaastra.
The tenth question for Rs. 3,20,000
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
You've activated the Dugnaastra.
You've got a chance to win double the prize money.
Here are your options.
Option D, Tank.
D, Tank.
Please lock D.
[suspenseful music playing]
Sir, this is wrong.
It's the drone!
Drone is the right answer.
Nagastra 1 is the Indian Army's first indigenous
man-portable suicide drone.
Not the Tank.
You made a mistake, sir.
All right.
So, you gave the wrong answer
and slide to Rs. 10,000.
I will digitally transfer his prize money.
Your name and account number appear here.
I press "Transfer Now".
I enter the figure, 10,000.
I hit "Okay" followed by "Confirm".
The prize money has reached your bank account now
in a quick, easy and safe manner.
Let's give a big hand to Dr Raghavendra for being with us.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much, sir. - Thank you.
Come... Come this way.
[audience applauding]
It's time for another Fastest Finger First round.
Eyes on your computer screens.
Contestants, this chance is of great significance.
So, please think hard before you answer.
Ready?
The Fastest Finger First question appears on your screens now.
[music playing]
Your options are as follows!
[music playing]
Your time is up. Let's see what the right order is.
First comes...
A, Asia.
Then comes C, Africa.
Followed by D, Europe.
Lastly, we have B, Antarctica.
Antarctica has the lowest population and Asia has the largest.
A, C, D, B is the right order.
Let's see which contestants answered in this order.
[drum roll]
Barring two, everyone got it right. And who was the fastest?
- Vishnu Achyut Managoli! - '3.65 seconds'
[audience applauding]
Whoa!
Wow! Fantastic.
- Well played, Vishnu. - Thank you, sir.
3.65 seconds.
Ladies and gentlemen, with me on the hot seat
is Vishnu Achyut Managoli.
He is from Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
[audience applauding]
How old are you, Vishnu?
Sir, I'm 18.
He is 18 years old.
You are one of the youngest contestants to come on the hot seat.
- Congratulations. - Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
[audience applauding]
- Vishnu, I see you brought your parents along. - Yes.
Greetings and a warm welcome.
[audience applauding]
All right, Vishnu. Focus on the game now.
I hope you will use the prize money you win from here very wisely.
You're familiar with the rules. So, I won't repeat them.
Let me tell you about the three lifelines.
Audience Poll, Video Call A Friend and Double Dip.
Upon crossing the first threshold,
- you'll be presented with the Super Sawaal as you know. - Yes.
- And Super Sandook on crossing the second threshold. - Yes.
[audience applauding]
All right! Let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[music playing]
- All the best to you, Vishnu. May you do well. - Thank you, sir.
The first question for Rs. 1,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Okay. Sir, please lock Option D, Iron.
He wishes to lock D.
Iron is the right answer.
[audience applauding]
The second question for Rs. 2,000 appears on your screen now.
Vishnu, this is an image question.
- Okay. - You'll be shown an image
and the question is based on it.
Can we see the picture, please?
Done?
- Yes. - All right.
Options!
Sir, please lock Option C, Chutneys.
He wishes to lock C, Chutneys.
It is the right answer. Well done.
[audience applauding]
Up next is the third question for Rs. 3,000
and it appears on your screen now.
Lamine Yamal.
Sir, please lock Option A, Spain.
He wishes to lock Spain.
It's the right answer. Well done.
[audience applauding]
Did you watch the Euro Cup, sir?
Sir, Lamine Yamal is an outstanding player.
I agree.
Lamine Yamal is just 16 years old.
He played in the Euro 2024 in Germany.
As per German labour laws,
- people under 18 years of age cannot work after 8 pm. - Yes.
That's why he was allowed to play earlier and then replaced.
Vishnu, you're only 18 years old.
Yes, sir.
- Are you studying? What do you do? - Yes, sir.
Sir, I am pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering
with a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
I recently joined my second year.
[audience applauding]
- I am totally oblivious to artificial intelligence - Yes, sir
and computer science. I have no knowledge about this.
I'm interested but have no knowledge.
So could you tell me what it really is?
- I have heard a lot about AI. - Yes, sir.
And AI is also misused nowadays.
Yes, sir. Well, AI has many benefits, and it is misused too.
We will have to make regulations to control the misuse, sir.
But if you look at its advantages,
there are plenty, from cellular division to space exploration.
- You will find it everywhere. - How is it used in space?
Our Chandrayaan-3, which landed on the Moon on August 23rd 2023,
used AI in its Pragyan Rover.
Apart from this, if you look at your movie Kalki,
you were shown 30-40 years younger in it,
and that too, was done with the help of AI.
[audience laughing]
[audience applauding]
Yes, sir.
- It's a very advanced technology. - Yes, it is.
I want to give you an example of what happened to me.
- Sure, sir. - I write my blog every night.
The people who read it, some of them are
from our country and some are from abroad.
So there is a woman from abroad, who is a member of my blog.
I just told her that I would now start to write a blog.
- She sent me a picture - Hmm-mmm.
of me sitting and writing on my laptop.
So I asked her,
'How did you get this when I didn't send you any pictures?'
She said that she made this picture from the sound of my voice.
- Yes, sir. - Is it possible? - Yes, it is possible, sir.
It will try to match and search all over the internet to find out
whose voice this voice matches with.
And if we give a description
that we want a picture of someone doing a particular task,
then it will try its best and generate its own image
by matching from everywhere
that is not created or taken by anybody else
and that is an original picture generated by itself.
- Oh! - The data is what we provide
such as voice, description, and pictures.
It is created in that manner only.
[audience applauding]
Vishnu, what would you like to do after studying?
What would you like to become?
Sir, I aim to join ISRO.
- ISRO? Oh, wow! - Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
So, I want to use the AI technology that we are all learning,
- in space research. - Okay.
And I want to bring glory to India.
[audience applauding]
Youngsters like you are an asset to our country.
- A very big asset to our country. - Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much, Vishnu. Many congratulations to you.
All right. Vishnu, let's move on.
You are two questions away from the Super Sawaal.
The fourth question for Rs 5000 is here on your screen.
And here are the options.
South of Madhya Pradesh. Okay.
Sir, please lock option B, Bhojpuri.
Please lock option B.
It's the right answer. Well done!
[audience applauding]
- Bhojpuri is mainly spoken in Bihar. - Yes, sir.
It is also associated with some parts of Uttar Pradesh.
Kannada in Karnataka, Malayalam in Kerala and Telugu
- in Andhra Pradesh. All right. - Yes, sir.
That's the sound of the bugle.
[bugle sounds]
- This is today's question. - Okay, sir.
Ladies and gentlemen, bugle means that it's time for today's question.
So let's see which citizen has asked today's question.
[folk music playing]
Hi, my name is Prabha Vishwajit Harsiani,
and I am from Madhapar, Kachchh.
My question to the public today is,
Which portal captures every vaccination event
of all pregnant women and children
under the Universal Immunization Program?

[music playing]

Oh, wow!
[audience applauding]
- Many, many congratulations! - Thank you, sir!
Tell me the correct answer first.

That is the right answer. All right.
A little gift for you.
We would like you to accept it.
Thank you so much. A big round of applause.
[audience applauding]
All right. Vishnu, let's get ahead in the game.
Here is the fifth question, the first threshold of the game.
The fifth question for Rs 10,000 is now on your screen.
- It's an image question. - Okay, sir.
Can we see the picture, please?
Sir, please lock image option C.
- Image option C? - Yes, sir.
Please lock image option C.
It's the right answer. Well done!
[theme music playing]
Sir!
Sir, I always lag in Maths, but today, I won here.
My condition got worse by lagging in Maths.
You are not the only one who lagged in Mathematics.
We are all alike.
Sir, one more thing. My mom is a Maths teacher.
Oh, boy!
Vishnu, as I said, Super Sawaal will come after the fifth question.
- The bugle indicates that it's time for the Super Sawaal. - Yes, sir.
So, the trend of Super Sawaal is brand new.
As I explained, you will be asked a question.
[music playing]
Let me tell you what Super Sawaal is.
- You don't get any option in this. - Okay.
And you have plenty of time.
If you give the correct answer,
you will get a superpower named Dugnaastra.
'Dugnaastra'
[audience applauding]
Mr Computer, present the Super Sawaal!
[music playing]
Sir, Abhinav Bindra.
Please lock Abhinav Bindra.
[tense music]
You were thinking about something.
No, I was recalling the same thing.
You've given the correct answer. Well done!
[theme music playing]
Well done, Vishnu!
Who was the first person to win an individual Olympic gold
for India in 2008? Abhinav Bindra.
He won the medal
- in the 10-metre air rifle. - Yes, sir.
This was in 2008, and you knew the answer.
- Well played, Vishnu! - Thank you, sir.
One more thing.
So now you have a superpower named Dugnaastra.
[buzzer sounds]
- All right, Vishnu, now you have Dugnaastra power. - Okay, sir.
The sixth question for Rs 20,000 is here on your screen.
[music playing]
Here are the options.
Sir, Germany was divided into two parts during the Cold War.
Berlin was divided into the Soviet Union and the Allied Powers.
So please lock option B, Berlin.
He wants to lock option B, Berlin.
You've given the correct answer. Well played!
[audience applauding]
In 1989, the East German government
opened the country's borders with West Germany,
- and Germany was reunited on 3rd October 1990. - Yes, sir.
All right. Vishnu, let's get ahead in the game.
Six questions have been asked. Seventh question will be asked now,
and Dugnaastra is still active.
The seventh question for Rs 40,000 is here on your screen.
[music playing]
Here are the options.
Sir, recently, it was reported that Kapil Dev
has taken the position of president.
So please lock option D, Kapil Dev.
Please lock option D, Kapil Dev.
Yes, it's absolutely the right answer!
[audience applauding]
In 1993,
Kapil Dev started playing golf,
and he is a brilliant amateur golfer.
- Yes, sir. - All right.
Vishnu, you told me that you're pursuing engineering.
- Yes, sir. - And it is a very difficult course.
- Yes, sir. - So,
how is your college life while studying?
Sure, sir. So,
the college has started recently,
but its journey has been amazing. How do I say this?
Sir, I was in the top three students till the 10th grade.
I was one of the top three students for each subject.
Then came 11th grade.
And my condition got worse.
[audience laughing]
Maths, Physics and Chemistry became separate subjects.
I went straight from the top to the bottom.
Then came 12th grade.
I did not study well in 11th grade,
so my condition worsened in the 12th grade.
I somehow managed to study well at the end of 12th grade,
and cleared my 12th grade with good marks.
The VIT entrance exam was good as well.
I was already interested in AI,
and by God's grace, I got into my favourite college
for an AI degree.
- That is VIT. - Well done.
- And it's still going well. It's a different life. - Yes.
- College life teaches you a lot about life. - Right.
I was never the type to get something or do something
by talking to others. I was never like that.
College changed me a lot in just one year.
You don't even talk to anyone here?
I talk with my friends.
If I have to ask for some information from an unknown person,
I would hesitate a bit as to what I would say.
It doesn't happen now. It's fine now.
Well, sir.
You have to talk to other people by yourself.
- Yes, sir. - So,
who are the other people that you have to talk to?
[audience laughing]
In the college,
everyone is familiar.
Yes, sir.
So, has such an environment been created?
No, sir.
My friends and I are always together.
Now, if someone feels
that we should get a bit ready
to get some attention,
like some attention from a girl...
[audience laughing]
The thing is
we get attention from my friends.
[audience laughing]
My group of friends go after that particular friend.
They would tease them.
[audience laughing]
Even my friends
have had good chemistry.
While studying, they've developed their own chemistry.
- That's amazing. - All of them were toppers.
Though I kept studying, I would only get passing marks.
They were partying. They were quite chill.
There were girls too.
Even after everything, they were topping the exams.
[audience laughing]
I didn't understand what was happening.
While preparing for JEE,
their condition fluctuated a bit.
Looking at their condition, I felt that I was happy.
I don't want to get involved till I get a job. My books and I are fine.
My books and I are fine with each other.
[laughing]
Sir.
I am not satisfied with this story.
And you said that they topped even while partying.
That's what you were doing wrong.
You should have gone partying with them.
Sir, who would have told my parents about it?
You are saying it right now. It has become public.
Sir, this is different. At home, I get scolded for different things.
They tell me not to watch TV
and go to my room to study.
I wouldn't even study on the night before my exams. I was that bad.
Now, what do I say in front of your mom and dad?
- Mom and dad. - It would be weird to say
these things to the kids, but it's also true
- that a little bit of playfulness should also continue. - Yes, sir.
- Is it right? - 100 per cent, sir.
- My good wishes are with you. - Thank you, sir.
- The blessings of your mom and dad are with you. - Yes, sir.
And soon,
your extracurricular activities
should increase as well
so that when I meet you the next time,
and if you have your partner with you
I would feel good about it.
All right.
Vishnu, we talked about many things.
Let's move forward.
The eighth question will come now.
It's for Rs 80,000.
Dugnaastra is still active.
The eighth question for Rs 80,000 is now on your screen.
[tense music playing]
The options are here.
It cannot be the USA and Canada.
It can be either Sri Lanka and Singapore.
It was said that a ship had arrived from Singapore.
It was filled with Tamil people.
2023... 1823.
Singapore in 1823...
Sri Lanka consisted of Sinhalese. Tamil is recent.
No, but the influence over there dates back a long time ago.
If we talk about Pandyas and Cholas, it was about 600-700 years ago.
Singapore is a bit recent.
Sir, I'll take a lifeline.
Calm down now.
There are 11 seconds left.
Which lifeline would you take?
Audience Poll, sir.
Please activate the Audience Poll, Mr Computer.
Audience, it's your turn now.
You must have heard the question.
Your time starts now.
[tense music playing]
[timer stops]
Whoa.
A has got 36 per cent.
B has got two per cent.
C has got 49 per cent.
49!
D got 13 per cent.
It's all upside down.
Yes, sir.
[tense music playing]
Sir, I'll go with the audience.
The majority of the audience is saying option C, Sri Lanka.
[tense music playing]
It's the right answer. Well played, audience.
Thank you.
[audience applauding]
Indian-origin Tamil people have been in Sri Lanka
and have worked there at different posts.
Tamil Nadu is very close to Sri Lanka.
So, this migration is natural.
[audience applauding]
You have answered eight questions correctly.
Dugnaastra is still active.
The ninth question is for Rs 1,60,000.
Here it is on your screen.
[tense music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
You have pressed the buzzer.
While using the Dugnaastra once,
the lifelines cannot be used.
Let me place the options before you.
You have got the chance to win double the prize.
Indrajit was the prince of Lanka.
Jambavan and Hanuman helped Lord Rama.
Angada was made the Prince.
So, please lock option A, Angada.
Please lock option A, Angada.
Well played. It's the right answer.
[theme music playing]
Well done, Vishnu.
- Angada was Bali's son. - Yes, sir.
Sugriva was
made the King of Kishkindha and Angada was made the Prince.
- Well played. - Thank you, sir.
All right, Vishnu.
- You are already winning Rs 1,60,000. - Yes, sir.
Along with that, because of Dugnaastra,
- you will get Rs 1,60,000 as a bonus. - Yes, sir.
I will transfer the bonus now.
Your name is here.
The account number is here.
We'll press Transfer Now.
Rs 1,60,000 has been entered.
I pressed Okay. It's confirmed.
Vishnu.
This bonus prize money
has reached your bank account.
- The bonus of Rs 1,60,000 that you have received... - Yes, sir.
So, sir,
where would this be used?
- You can tell us if you want to. - Yes, sir.
Or you can whisper in my ear when the game is over.
- I have a younger brother. He is 14 years old. - Oh, okay.
- All right. - His name is Vyas.
He had told me that
whatever bonus money I get, he would take 90 per cent of it.
I told him
that he would not get 90 per cent.
But since he has an interest in gaming,
I would buy him any kind of gaming set-up that he wants.
- My gift to him. - Oh, that's very sweet of you.
Thank you. All right.
He has decided that he will use his bonus amount
for his younger brother.
- He will buy something for him. - Yeah.
You haven't said a lot about your younger brother.
Actually...
Is he also studying science and AI?
Well, his dynamic is...
He is more interested in it, especially in science.
- Oh, okay. - The thing is
there is a very close bond between us.
Like, if there are any secrets
and we think that we can't tell our parents right now,
we can share it comfortably with each other.
We get along with each other quite well.
I got a chance to learn about parenting from him.
When he was a kid,
mom and dad used to go to work.
I used to be a 13-14 year old boy.
So, we spent our summer vacation at home for three months together.
So, the thing is when he was born, I was around 5-6 years old.
I used to try to make him say my name.
I kept trying to make him say, Vishnu.
I used to tell him to say Vishnu. He'd always get stuck at V.
[mellow music playing]
He has been calling me V since then.
- So, your younger brother... - Yes, sir.
He has a few things to say about you.
Our KBC team has recorded it.
- Oh god. - I think we should see it.
- His brother's name is Vyas. - Oh no. What did he do?
'V.'
'I am very happy that you are on the Hot Seat.'
'All the best.'
'Amit sir, just like how an ideal brother should be,'
'V is not like that at all.'
'I am going to say three things'
'that an elder brother would never do to his younger brother.'
'The first thing.'
'I work out every day. I build my muscles.'
'I work on my weight loss.'
'Sometimes, I tell him'
'that he should lose some weight. He only eats and sleeps all day.'
'Then he says that we have only one life'
'and asks me also to rest.'
'Second thing.'
'Whenever mom tells him to study,'
'he starts using the mobile.'
'The moment mom comes into the room,'
'he leaves the mobile aside and starts reading the book.'
'The moment mom leaves the room,'
'he starts using the mobile again.'
'I tell him that he uses his mobile a lot.'
'The third thing.'
'He takes advantage of being an elder brother.'
'When mom and dad give him chores or ask him for a glass of water,'
'or to keep the containers up,'
'he tells me to do it because he is an elder brother.'
'When I ask him'
'why I should do it?'
'He says, because he is the elder brother.'
'He keeps ordering me around.'
'Sir, please tell him to behave like a good elder brother.'
'Just like an ideal one.'
[audience laughing]
Okay.
He has revealed a lot of secrets.
Do you still plan to buy the gaming set-up
that you were going to buy for him?
Sir, first of all,
I was saying all these things to save him, sir.
[audience laughing]
Or else I have a lot to say too.
Sir, tell me something.
Whoever the younger brother is, should at least address
- the elder brother with respect. - Yeah.
He calls me V, fatso, hippo and whatnot.
[audience laughing]
Sir, he thinks that I am the bossy one,
but he is the one who keeps ordering around everyone.
Talking about the gaming setup,
he has threatened me with consequences if I don't buy it.
I'm saying these things because he asked me to say it.
Is that why you are getting it for him?
Yes, sir.
You are not giving because you want to.
I will give it to him, but he says
either he wants 90 per cent or something huge.
I wanted to give it willingly,
but since he has threatened me, I have no other option.
- I will have to give it. - You are done for, Vyas.
All right.
- May the love and care between you continue. - Sir.
The fights will keep happening.
You have a younger brother too. What is your relationship like?
Exactly like this.
It is exactly what you mentioned.
There were many things
that we used to tell each other, but not to our parents.
If we ever used to fight,
- he used to threaten me that he'll reveal the secrets. - Yes, sir.
- So these things continue. - Of course, sir.
Okay.
All right, Vishnu. Now, the tenth question is in front of you.
It's for Rs 3,20,000.
This is the second threshold of the game.
You will get this opportunity just once.
- Don't take a chance at this stage. - Yeah.
The tenth question for Rs 3,20,000 is now on your screen.
[tense music playing]
Here are the options.
Sir, I would like to use a lifeline.
Lifeline! Stop ticking.
You have two lifelines left. Video Call A Friend and Double Dip.
Sir, Double Dip.
He wishes to use Double Dip. Please activate it, Mr. Computer.
You will get two chances to answer. What is the first answer?
Sir, please lock Option C, Ukulele.
He wishes to lock C, Ukulele.
[suspenseful music playing]
The first answer is right. Wow!
Well done!
[audience applauding]
In the Hawaiian language,
- 'leaping flea'... Flea! - Yes.
- Leaping flea means Ukulele. - Yes, sir.
It is a musical instrument resembling a small guitar.
It became famous worldwide with Hawaiian music.
Your parents are happy
that you gave the right answer.
Your mom was scared.
All right!
Vishnu, you've answered ten questions correctly.
You've won Rs. 3,20,000.
A cheque will be addressed to you.
Applaud for him.
[audience applauding]
The cheque for Rs. 3,20,000.
- Vishnu, can we say that this is your first income? - Yes, sir.
- Well played, Vishnu. Congratulations to you. Thank you.
What would you like to do with this prize money?
My parents, at this age, from nothing and achieving something...
They started their journey by giving their first salary
to their parents.
I would like to do the same.
I would... They do invest in us.
- But I want to give my first income to my parents. - Yeah!
Well done, Vishnu.
You were raised well.
- Thank you, sir. - You have the knowledge.
You love your brother.
You have always loved and respected
- your parents. - Thank you, sir.
Everyone... I don't know if you did, but even I gave my first income
- to my parents. - Lovely, sir.
[audience applauding]
Vishnu, as I mentioned earlier,
after clearing the second threshold
it is time for Super Sandook.
All right!
Ten questions will be presented to you one at a time
within 90 seconds.
You will get Rs. 10,000 extra for every right answer.
But if you answer at least five to ten questions correctly,
then you may choose to bank the prize money,
- or you can revive your used lifeline. - Okay.
All right? Should I read out the questions in English or Hindi?
- English, sir. - In English.
- Ready, Vishnu? - Yes, sir.
All right! Let's play Super Sandook!
Vishnu, your time starts now.
- Sir, Go-karting. - Correct, Next!
- Sir, pass. - Pass, next!
- Sir, Dog. - Correct. Next!
- Sir, D, Fan. - Correct. Next!
- Sir, Walking. - Correct. Next!
- Sir, Mussolini. - Correct. Mussolini is right.
- Sir, iPod. - Correct!
Sir, Rajinikanth.
- Rajinikanth. - Rajinikanth is right!
- Sir, Chennai. - Correct. Next!
- Peace. - Correct!
- Sir, Uttar Pradesh. - Wrong!
Ah!
Time's up, Vishnu. But not bad.
He answered nine questions correctly.
[applauding]
- Well done, Vishnu. - Thank you, sir.
I'll give you the correct answer to the question you got wrong.
This was the question.
- Haryana. Yes, sir. - It is Haryana. Not Uttar Pradesh.
Haryana surrounds Delhi from the north, west, and south.
- Uttar Pradesh lies to the east. - Uttar Pradesh. Yes!
All right!
You won Rs. 90,000 extra.
- Yes, sir. - Will you bank it
- or will you retrieve your lifeline? - Lifeline, sir.
- Lifeline! Okay. - Yes, sir.
You have used two lifelines. Double Dip and Audience Poll.
Sir, Audience Poll.
He wants to activate Audience Poll. Please applaud.
He trusts all of you.
[drum roll]
All right!
- Vishnu, I want to ask you something. - Okay.
The way you've gained knowledge
and the responses you've been giving on KBC,
did you prepare for this?
- How much time did you spend getting ready for it? - Yes.
Actually, ever since I was young,
I have been interested in non-fiction books.
I loved reading about space.
One fine day,
when I was young, I saw a show
where Mr. Amitabh was asking questions to a contestant.
The question was, there are four planets.
Which one has the highest temperature?
The options were Mercury, Venus and Mars. There were four options.
Everyone said Mercury. I was the only one who said Venus,
I know that because of the atmosphere in Venus,
the temperature is high.
Even though Mercury is close.
So, Venus was right.
Everyone was impressed with me.
That sparked my interest in tuning into KBC and watching it more.
I started watching it every day.
I started watching the show when I was 8 years old.
I had a feeling
that I want to be on KBC.
I tried for KBC Junior.
I didn't make it.
After I turned 18, I had two missions.
To get documents done
and audition for KBC.
My documents were done.
I did what was required for KBC's auditions.
With my knowledge
and God's grace, I did it and came here. I am here now.
Did you prepare for it? Well played!
Yeah!
I have a habit of reading newspapers
and books.
Like history...
I thought international history was different.
I loved reading about it.
The issue was that other than my academic books,
I explored various other subjects.
- Oh! - From the start!
By reading about different topics
and observing what is going on in the world,
- that is how I prepared myself. - All right!
- Congratulations to you, Vishnu. - Thank you, sir.
[audience applauding]
- I would like to speak with his parents. - Yes.
Ah...
Vaani, I have not heard your voice yet.
[laughing]
So, how do you feel?
Where do I start?
I am so happy.
I was the one who always stopped Vishnu
from watching TV before his exams.
But he used to watch what he liked.
I used to tell him
to study his academic materials
- to get good grades. - Yes.
But he used to be busy with Harry Potter or Dune,
non-fiction, international history,
and Indian Politics. He used to do all this.
But I knew all this.
It wasn't hidden from me.
[pleasant music playing]
I knew everything. But I am so happy.
He is here because of that.
I am really proud of him.
Thank you so much.
You have answered ten questions correctly.
Coming up is the eleventh question.
- It's for Rs. 6,40,000. - Okay, sir.
This question
is the least risky.
- Even if the answer is wrong, you won't lose anything. - Yes, sir.
The eleventh question for Rs. 6,40,000
appears on your screen now.
Here are the options.
Drawing the Line.
The name hints that it is based on the border.
Sir, Drawing the Line.
The name points out that it focuses on border-related matters.
Country borders are drawn. And...
India and Pakistan's border is called the Radcliffe Line.
Cyril Radcliffe.
Arthur Wellesley, John Simon, Edwin Montagu.
Which historical personality is the protagonist
of Howard Brenton...?
Cyril Radcliffe.
If Drawing the Line implies a border,
then it could be Cyril Radcliffe.
It is called the Radcliffe Line.
But I am not sure if that is the same Radcliffe.
Ah! John Simon.
Arthur Wellesly. Edwin Montagu.
Drawing the Line!
Sir, I will go with Option D, Cyril Radcliffe.
- You will go with? - Option D. I will lock it.
- Cyril Radcliffe. - Yes, sir.
After careful consideration, he wishes to lock D.
[suspenseful music playing]
- You were thinking about a lot of things. - Yes, sir.
This is related to the border.
- It is called the Radcliffe Line. - Yes, sir.
And...
You must have heard about John Simon.
- Yes, sir. - In Indian history.
- He faced considerable pushback. - Yes, sir.
That was for something else and not this. For Government of India Act.
Radcliffe is the right answer. Well done!
[audience applauding and cheering]
Well played, Vishnu! Well played.
- India and Pakistan's border is called the Radcliffe Line. - Yes.
Therefore, the name of the play was Drawing the Line.
Within a span of five weeks,
the British judge Cyril Radcliffe
was tasked with the division of the Indian subcontinent.
However, the play also features other historical figures.
Over the course of five weeks, he had to decide
- how to draw this line. - Yes.
And I've heard... You might know this history.
That he had never visited India in the past.
- And he didn't have much information. - He had no idea.
And he drew a line,
- however he saw fit. - How he liked it.
And we are still facing its repercussions.
Numerous lives were taken away.
Innocent lives were lost
because of the partition. Okay!
I truly admire the knowledge you possess.
You got it right.
Drawing the Line.
You guessed it from the title
- that it could be Radcliffe. - Yes, sir.
- Congratulations to you, Vishnu. - Thank you, sir.
Okay! Coming up is the 12th question.
You still have two lifelines at your disposal.
You can win Rs. 12,50,000.
If you give the right answer, you will win Rs. 12,50,000.
If the answer is wrong, you will come down to Rs. 3,20,000.
The 12th question for Rs. 12,50,000 appears on your screen now.
Here are the options.
[suspenseful music playing]
It is...It is closer to the asteroid belt.
But what was it?
Ah! Ceres.
[mumbling]
Eris. Haumea. I have no clue about Haumea.
Ceres.
Or Vesta.
I don't think it is Eris.
Ceres.
Sir, I will go for a lifeline.
Okay!
You have two lifelines available.
Audience Poll and Video Call A Friend.
Sir, Audience Poll.
Activate Audience Poll, Mr. Computer.
The audience will vote.
And your time starts now.
[suspenseful music playing]
B, Ceres, has the maximum number of votes. 58%
A has 40%.
C and D have 0% and 2%.
Sir, please lock Option B, Ceres.
He wishes to go with the audience. Lock B.
Well played, audience!
- Wow! - Thank you!
- Whoa! - Thank you!
Thank you!
My goodness!
The dwarf planet Ceres is also the largest asteroid
- in the asteroid belt. - Yes.
This was the first asteroid to be discovered.
Your parents were terrified.
They were not sure
if you will give the right answer or not.
You've had plenty to say about space
and are learning about it.
All right!
Audience, what do I say about you?
- Very good! Well played. - Thank you!
Thank you, audience! Thank you.
It was a difficult question.
All right, Vishnu.
The thirteenth question is for Rs. 25,00,000.
The thirteenth question for Rs. 25,00,000...
[hooter sounds]
Let me read the question. Why...
[laughing]
[audience applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen, every season of KBC
is an opportunity for us
to test ourselves and remain relevant
for the upcoming generation.
This is why, this game has been receiving your love
for 24 years.
I will try to ensure
that your affection continues.
We are trying.
With this, I'll take your leave now.
When we meet tomorrow,
Vishnu will be asked a question for Rs. 25,00,000.
It's time for me to say goodbye.
Good night.
Thank you so much.
Well played, Vishnu. Keep sitting.
