Thank you, everybody. Thank you.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Thank you. Thank you, audience. Thank you very much.
All right!
Look, ladies and gentlemen.
We said that the India Challenger Week
was a sea of challenges.
The one who crosses it and makes it to the hot seat
will get the chance to make it to the Rs. 7-crore question
in just eleven questions, right?
[audience applauding]
Today, up against each other
are Mr. Krishna Selukar,
who will be coming here for the third time,
and Mr. Paritosh Bhatt,
who will be playing the Jaldi 5 for the first time.
[audience applauding]
Let us see who strikes a balance between intellect and agility.
Calling our Jaldi 5 contestants.
Yes, Mr. Selukar. Welcome.
'Krishna Selukar. Ashti, Maharashtra'
- Welcome, Mr. Bhatt. - 'Paritosh Bhatt. Valsad, Gujarat'
Hey, please don't do that.
[audience applauding]
The episode ended yesterday when their turn came.
So, we will begin the show with them today. All right!
Mr. Selukar, I won't ask you who you are and what you do
because this is your third time here.
You lost the Jaldi 5 round.
Mr. Bhatt, greetings and welcome.
- Greetings. - A big hand for him.
Greetings.
[audience applauding]
- Mr. Bhatt, welcome to the show. - Thank you.
What do you do?
I'm a retired teacher.
- And... - A teacher! Lovely.
I am writing a book on physics.
Physics!
Sir, I have newfound respect for you.
Thank you, sir.
Physics and chemistry...
[audience applauding and cheering]
Physics, chemistry and math are dangerous subjects!
- You have my respect, sir. - Thank you.
And wish you luck.
Okay! Now, these challengers will be up against each other
in the Jaldi 5 round!
- [music playing] - [audience applauding]
Making it to the hot seat is imperative for me.
'I'm here with a dream'
'and this could help me with my higher studies.'
Only KBC can fulfil my dream.
I've been trying to make it on the show for 24 years.
'My father was trying before me.'
I have to make it to the hot seat and fulfil my parents' dream.
Today's battle is between my enthusiasm
and Mr. Bhatt's experience.
I will ensure that I make it to the hot seat this time!
In another few moments, my 24-year-long wait will end.
My name is Paritosh and the hot seat is mine!

Your answer was right and you were sure.
- You've won Rs. 80,000. - Yes, sir.
I'd like to know something about you.
What do you do?
I'm currently preparing for MPSC in Pune.
- So, a government job then? - Yes, sir.
Where in Pune do you reside?
Jangamwadi Charitable Math in Pune is where I reside, sir.
Our village and district don't have any facilities to prepare for MPSC.
If there is such a course we wish to pursue, we've to go to Pune.
- As you know, Pune is an education hub. - Yes, sir.
Pune is an expensive city to live in.
Jangamwadi Math is a centre
that takes into account students with weak financial backgrounds
and good grades.
They take these two criteria into account
- and offer availability to such students. - Provide accommodation.
We are eight of us in my room, sir.
- Eight students in total. - Eight people in one room!
That doesn't quite surprise me.
After I graduated from college,
I went to Kolkata in search of a job
and landed one that paid Rs. 400 a month.
And where I was staying, we were eight people in a room, sir.
[audience applauding]
- Yes! - You have to adjust, sir.
Sir, it used to be a lot of fun.
Sir, it sure is fun.
- We had a lot of fun. - Yes.
You see, there were eight of us with only two beds.
[laughter]
- That's hard, sir. - I had to sleep on the floor at times.
We were all very happy, sir.
- Yes, sir. - I hope that you are happy too.
Yes, sir. We're very happy.
- All right. - All 80 students live together in harmony.
Do you have a picture of your 'math'?
Sir, I've made a video.
- You did! - Yes, sir.
Can we see the video of his 'math'?
[playful vocalisation]
'Hi, I am Krishna Balasaheb Selukar.'
'This is my dear Lord Hanuman.'
'Hail Lord Hanuman.'
'This is what'
'Jangamwadi Charitable Home looks like.'
'Its architecture is quite appealing.'
'This is the small library section of Jangamwadi Charitable Home'
'where we all study.'
'This is my room.'
'Eight of us live here.'
'Okay, guys. I am off to sleep.'
'Bye!'
[up-tempo song playing]
[audience applauding]
Ah! Sir, at least you have eight beds.
- We only had two. - Yes, sir.
We'd fight over
who would sleep on the bed and who'd lay the mattresses.
- My best wishes are with you. - Yes, sir.
- You're a devotee of Lord Hanuman. - Yes, sir.
- Lord Bajrangbali. - He is mighty.
You must know the Hanuman Chalisa.
- Yes, sir. I chant it daily. - Yes.
'Hail Lord Hanuman, ocean of wisdom and virtue.' [both]
'Victory to the Lord of monkeys well known in all three worlds.'
'You are the divine messenger of Lord Rama'
'and the son of Anjana and the Wind God.'
- Well done, lovely. - Thank you.
[audience applauding]
- I noticed one more thing. - Yes, sir.
- You write with your left hand. - Yes, sir.
- You're left-handed. - I write with both hands, sir.
I see. Sir, you and I will make a great team.
- I'm left-handed too. - Thank you, sir.
I try to write with both hands.
I used to write with my left hand till I was around five.
Then Dad said, "This is wrong! Write with your right hand."
Then I switched to the right hand.
Now, I am ambidextrous and can write with both hands.
I also used to write with my left hand,
but I visited a temple
and the priest told me, "You do everything with your left hand."
who would sleep on the bed and who'd lay the mattresses.
You're showing your left hand, sir.
This one's left and this one's right.
[laughter]
No, sir. That's your left hand.
No.
- Your raised hand is the left. - Oh!
Yes.
- That one's right. - Yes, sir.
You said left and raised the right hand.
Right?
- Sir, you are here in the flesh. So, I goofed up. - No!
That's not true.
[laughter]
- May I say something, sir? - Sure.
'Carbon is put through intense pressure to become a diamond.'
'Stone is carved to make sculptures.'
'And to share space with a great man like you, one has to be blessed!'
Good God!
[audience applauding]
All right, Mr. Selukar, moving on to the game.
- Up next is the ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000. - Yes, sir.
The ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options.
Sir, I have a feeling the answer is Option C, Upendra Dwivedi.
[exhales]
General Manoj Pande...
[clock ticking]
Sir, I wish to take Double Dip.
- You'll take Double Dip. Okay. - Yes.
He wishes to opt for Double Dip. Please activate it.
[chiming]
- As you are aware, you get two chances to answer. - Yes, sir.
What's your first answer?
Sir, Option C, Upendra Dwivedi.
Lock Option C, Upendra Dwivedi.
This is the right answer, sir.
Had you gone with it, you'd have saved a lifeline! Darn!
Sir, I knew it was Upendra Dwivedi
but I got confused between that and Option A, Tiwari.
- No problem, sir. - Okay.
It hurts me to know you lost a lifeline when you knew the answer.
Okay, General Upendra Dwivedi
became the Chief of Army Staff on 30 June 2024.
- Okay! - Yes, sir.
Krishna, was getting a government job
the goal of your life?
Is this what you wanted to do?
Sir, I hail from a village.
There is no one to guide people like us.
We're clueless as kids
until the tenth grade in terms of what career path to choose.
- Yes. - One of my dad's friends
suggested the ongoing trend of engineering and medical fields.
Dad said, "Okay. You're good at math."
"Choose engineering instead of medical."
When I was about to finish Computer Engineering
and was in my last year,
the market for computer engineers was down.
My brother-in-law said that
the government offers jobs for electrical engineers.
So, I got an Electrical Engineering degree.
- Okay. - So, I have three years of Computer Engineering knowledge
and three of Electrical Engineering.
So, I was neither perfect
- at Computer Engineering nor Electrical Engineering. - Oh.
I got a job as a mechanical engineer.
[laughter]
I was lost, sir.
I studied Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering
and worked as a mechanical engineer.
After that, Covid hit us, sir.
Yes, that caused a lot of loss.
I lost my job, sir.
[sad music playing]
After I lost my job, I returned to the village.
- My father ran a shop there. - Okay.
I was helping him manage the shop.
But, sir, when the young son comes home for a few days
it's a happy atmosphere.
But when the same son
stays for two to three months or for one, one and a half years
then he becomes a burden on the family.
[sombre music playing]
When I was at home, sometimes my father also used to say,
'How many days will you sit at home?'
- 'We tell you, others tell you, what do you plan to do?' - Yes.
Like, if I say,
an unmarried girl
is a burden on the family,
after a certain age, unemployed men are also a burden.
[sombre music]
Sir, can I say something?
A girl is never a burden on the family.
A woman is the pride of the family.
[audience applauding]
To all the women who are sitting here.
Sometimes we say it on our show too.
Many women who come here, we ask them what they do.
or when parents come here as a companion,
and the mother says she's a housewife and manages the house.
And I feel she's feeling embarrassed to say that she's a housewife.
There's no one
who does as much work and hard work as much as a housewife.
[audience applauding]
She works the most.
- She does the most work. - She manages the house,
she takes care of her husband, takes care of cooking
- and her children. - She takes care of everything.
And she waits until her husband returns and the kids fall asleep,
and only eats after that.
[audience applauding]
- She's really great. - It's wrong to call her a burden.
The sad thing is we have never understood her.
No, sir. Slowly people are beginning to understand.
- It takes time for people's thinking to change in the village. - Yes.
I applied for several jobs when I was in the village,
but my education was such
- that they would see my profile and reject me. - Ah!
- That I... - It's not just your problem. Many people face it.
But you've worked hard and see today,
you're here with your hard work and education.
[audience applauding]
- All right, Krishna. - Yes, sir.
The next question is for Rs 3,20,000.
- Yes, sir. - This is the second threshold of the game.
If you cross this you will take Rs 3,20,000 for sure.
Yes, sir.
Please don't take a chance on this question.
Yes, sir.
Because you'll get this opportunity only once.
We tell all the players who reach this point, the same thing.
Yes, sir.
Indra Nooyi was the former CEO of which company?
[music playing]
Here are your options.
Sir, I think it's Uttar Pradesh.
[clock ticking]
Sir, please lock A, Uttar Pradesh.
Please lock A, Uttar Pradesh.
[suspenseful music playing]
You said you felt it might be Uttar Pradesh.
Did you think of any other options too?
Sir, from Maharashtra it was the Deputy PM, but never a PM.
Karnataka had only one PM, Mr Deve Gowda.
And I'm not sure of West Bengal,
but from UP, I have a feeling it's UP.
Your answer is absolutely right.
- Yes. - You've won
- Rs 3,20,000. - Thank you, sir.
[theme music playing]
The two former Prime Ministers from Uttar Pradesh were
- Shri Chaudhary Charan Singh and Shri V.P. Singh. - Yes.
- V.P. Singh and Charan Singh. - V.P. Singh.
They were the Prime Ministers of India.
- And as you said, Shri H.D. Deve Gowda from Karnataka was also the PM. - Yes, sir.
Gentleman, you've won Rs 3,20,000.
Let me get the cheque ready for you. Please keep the applause coming.
[audience cheering and applauding]
[audience applauding]
Here is the cheque for Rs 3,20,000.
[audience applauding]
- Sir, I have a request. - Yes.
I could never give my salary to my father.
Yes...
I think this will be my first earning
that will be in lakhs. I want to give this cheque to him.
Yes, certainly. Please take it.
[audience applauding]
Here you go.
[audience applauding] [gentle music playing]
Mr Balasaheb, would you like to say something?
Sir, I would like to say that,
I used to scold him and call him worthless because
- no father would like their son to get any scoldings. - Yes.
But,
the reason behind scolding him was the hope that he would improve.
He's a little stubborn.
He will do whatever he decides to.
[sombre music playing]
He went to Pune,
and said he would not come home until he finds a job.
He's stubborn like that.
That's why I scolded him. Nothing wrong with a father scolding.
[sombre music playing]
A dad is after all a dad.
I'll be happy if he brings a good name.
- Wow. Well said. [audience cheering and applauding]
[emotional music playing]
Your father is very proud of you.
He said his name is famous because of you.
- Yes, sir. - This is a very big opportunity for you.
[emotional music playing]
There is no one in the world who has not made mistakes in life.
[audience cheering and applauding]
All of us have made some mistakes sometime
- in our lives. - Yes, sir.
But very few people can
learn and rise above their mistakes.
And your son has done it today.
Well done.
[audience applauding]
Krishna, as you know
after the tenth question we play Super Sandook.
[music playing]
- You are aware of Super Sandook. - Yes, sir.
- Shall I read it in Hindi or English? - Hindi.
Hindi? Okay.
Mr Computer, let's play Super Sandook.
[music playing]

[audience cheering and applauding]
I would like to apologise to your father,

Oh-ho.
- Let's look at the questions where you gave the wrong answer. - Yes.
Let us tell you the right answers.
Which of these cricket shots is played on the off-side?
The answer is Reverse Sweep.
Okay.
- I don't know much about cricket. - Yes, sir.
They play with their right hand
and reverse sweep means to hit in this direction.
Instead of hitting like this,
they swing and hit like this.
- Am I right? - Yes, sir.
That's right.
- Everyone is a cricket player. - Yes, sir.
Reverse Sweep is right.
You did not answer one more question.
Which city has received the GI tag for blue pottery?
That is Jaipur.
- Yes, sir. - Jaipur has received the tag.
Blue pottery. Okay.
These were the two questions that you passed. You've won Rs 80,000.
Should we transfer it to the bank?
Or would you like to revive the Double Dip lifeline?
Sir, I would like to revive the lifeline.

Please
revive the lifeline.

You have won Rs 3,20,000.
You won Rs 80,000

Gentleman, I'm very proud of you.
And I'm sure your father is also very proud of you.

He's a little stubborn
but he has won so much already.
Ladies and gentlemen, the sound of the bugle
indicates the question of the day.
Let's see which fellow citizen has asked today's question.

[audience applauding]
Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne
are the other two players who have taken 700 wickets in test cricket.
James Anderson played this match
in 2024, in Dharamshala.
We were playing this game against England.
And James Anderson is a very good bowler.
He's not better than our Indian bowlers.
- What do we lose in saying so? [audience cheering and applauding]
But he's a good bowler.
[audience applauding]
- Krishna, you've won Rs 6,40,000. - Yes, sir.
Oh...
You were telling us that eight of you
- live inside one room. - Yes, sir.
So...
You told us about your daily routine. You wake up in the morning,
- go to the Hanuman temple, - Yes.
- and you offer prayers to God. - Yes, sir.
Have you ever had the chance to do 'arti' from someone else?
[audience laughing]
- Sir, I... - I'm just asking.
This is the game of youth.
Nothing like that has happened.
- A need to pray arises. - But, I...
[audience applauding] [romantic music playing]
Sir, there's no need to pray for that.
I mean, I'm a follower of Lord Hanuman since childhood.
I'm not talking about that.
- Yes. [audience laughing]
So... We don't pray for someone else in front of Lord Hanuman.
- Krishna... - Yes, sir.
I'm not saying you should pray to another God.
- I won't pray to any lady either. - That's all I wanted to know.
[romantic music playing] [audience applauding]
Sir, my problems
can be ended based on my knowledge.
My first need is a job.
As they say, 'You need a job and then you need a wife.'
So, I'm applying for jobs.
When I get a job, the lady will automatically come.
Okay, sir. I understood.
[audience applauding]
Your intentions are very clean and pure.
You don't get distracted very easily.
All our efforts went to waste.
[audience laughing]
- Please forgive me, sir. - All right, Krishna.
- Forget all that for now. - Yes, sir.
Coming up next is the twelfth question
- for Rs 12,50,000. - Yes, sir.
You still have two very important lifelines.
Double Dip and Video Call A Friend are still active.
Krishna, the twelfth question is now on your screen.
[music playing]
There is no limit on time.
You have two lifelines. The right answer will fetch Rs 12,50,000.
I'm sure about Fergusson College and Elphinstone College.
So, I'm slightly confused between A and D.
Maybe...
Which of these colleges in Maharashtra
is not named after a former Governor of Bombay?
Elphinstone
was a governor.
Fergusson...
I think it could be D.
Sydenham College.
Sir, I will take a lifeline. Video Call A Friend.
- Video Call A Friend. - Yes, sir. - All right.
He'd like to take a lifeline. Please activate it Mr Computer.
Gentleman, you gave three names with whom you wanted to speak.
Here are the three names.
There's Navnath Wagh, Vipul Waghmode
and Pawan Bharsakale.
Sir, Vipul Waghmode.
Vipul Waghmode. Is he your friend?
- Yes, sir, he's my friend. - Please make a video call
to Vipul Waghmode.
Greetings to you, Vipul.
This is Amitabh Bachchan from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Greetings, sir.
- Krishna Selukar is sitting before me. - Yes, sir.
He's on the Hot Seat.
- Okay. - He wants your help with one question.
Yes, sir.
Please get ready, Krishna. Your time starts now.
I think Sydenham.
It should be that.
Sir, where is Wilson College?
Uh...
You're asking about Mumbai, I think it should be Sydenham.
I'm 90 per cent sure about Sydenham.
Sydenham. Are you sure?
Yes. 90 per cent sure about it.
Where is Wilson College?
Hmm...
- Okay. - Like I said, I have a doubt between A and D.
Which of the following colleges in Maharashtra
is not named after a former Governor of Bombay.
Elphinstone was a governor. Wilson...
Sir, Double Dip.
is not named after a former Governor of Bombay.
He'd like to take Double Dip lifeline, please activate it.
[activation sound]
You have two chances to answer. As you know you had taken this earlier.
- Yes, sir. - You cannot quit the game now.
Please give us your first answer.
Please lock option D, Sydenham College.
Gentleman, that's the wrong answer.
[music playing]
Now you have only one chance to answer.
Is it Wilson College?
Or is it Fergusson College or Elphinstone College?
[sharp exhale]
Sir, option A, Wilson College.
- Would you like to go with A, Wilson College? - Yes. - Okay.
His final answer is A, Wilson College.
Lock it.
Do you know where Wilson College is located?
I was confused between these two.
- You were confused between these two. - Yes, sir.
Have you ever heard of a governor of Bombay called Wilson?
- I have not... - You did not.
You said it was either Wilson or Sydenham.
He was 90% sure about Sydenham, but it was wrong.
Now you are saying, Wilson.
[suspenseful music playing]
Mr. Krishna, be it Sydenham College, Fergusson College,
or Elphinstone College, Wilson College is the right answer.
Glory to Lord Hanuman!
You won Rs. 12,50,000.
Wilson College is named after Reverend John Wilson,
who established it in 1830
or around that. Other notable figures
include the Governors of Bombay,
Sir James Fergusson,
Mountstuart Elphinstone,
and Sir George Sydenham.
Sir George Sydenham Clarke was his full name.
It was named after George Sydenham Clarke.
You won Rs, 12,50,000.
You have exhausted all three lifelines.
Congratulations to you.
I would like to tell you
that someone wants to talk to you.
- What? - Yes!
Please call!
[phone trilling]
- She is your mom. - Yes!
And your sister.
Greetings to both of you.
- Hello! - Please talk to him.
- How are you, Mom? - I am good.
[laughing]
- I am fine. - How are you feeling?
I am feeling so much better.
Mom, I won Rs. 12,50,000.
Okay!
I will play further if I know the answer, or I will quit, Mom.
Okay!
All right, bye!
Bye, Mom!
Your sister is here. Talk to her.
If we continue talking, we will start crying.
- All right! Okay. - She can't control herself.
May your blessings always be with Krishna.
A big hand for him once again.
[applauding]
Whenever I talk to my mom,
- I get emotional. - Yes.
It is natural.
Mother and daughter have a special bond.
Yes!
It was only because of my mother
- that I could study in Pune. - Wow!
I call my parents every Sunday.
- I don't talk to them every day. - Okay.
Because the thing is, I feel restless
when I call them. I get emotional when I talk to my mom.
That's why I call them once every week.
Now, you will get a chance
- to talk to them every single day. - Yes. Thank you, sir.
This was possible because of you and KBC.
It is your knowledge that brought you here.
Sir, may I recite a poem?
Yes, please.
I say...
I say I've stopped visiting,
and have disconnected from the celebrations.
With a heavy heart,
we've turned our backs on home.
Who among us...
Who among us wants to
leave behind the comfort we once knew?
Yet here we are, leaving it all behind,
In pursuit of a successful life.
Wow! Lovely!
In my eyes, my mother's dreams reside.
In my eyes, my mother's dreams reside,
that I will become successful.
Her concerns have made her weary and old,
I hope to make her happy someday,
Wow!
My father can't walk.
My father can't walk,
but he still goes to work.
Every day, he brings home money to cover my expenses.
[applauding]
The roof of the house where they sleep is leaking.
Whenever I fall short of my merit,
they cry more than me.
Wow!
Both God and I know...
Both God and I know
I'm not lacking in hard work.
What kind of life is it, my friends, if it hasn't had a tussle with fate?
Well said!
I admit, I'm facing a tough exam.
I admit, I'm facing a tough exam,
but hard work is my weapon.
Having received guidance from my teachers, I'm ready for the battle.
- Wow! Nice! - May my patience stay intact.
- Lovely! - May my patience stay intact.
I'll take control of my own future.
There are only a few months left.
I'll return with success in my hands.
There are only a few months left.
- I'll return with success in my hands. -Well said!
Congratulations to you, Krishna.
This poem is a source of inspiration for you.
- Whenever someone pushes us down... - Yes!
God gives us strength. It is an invisible strength.
One must learn to break free from their own limitations.
I agree.
Glory to Lord Hanuman!
[audience applauding]
Krishna, please focus

[laughing]
If you had continued the game,
this would have been the right answer.

He helped to establish
Ghana's intelligence service. All right!

This way.
[applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen
and contestants, there is an announcement for you.
The true strength of the opponent
and the specific challenges he will encounter on the field
will only become apparent once he steps onto the playing field.
[tense music playing]
Upon entering the arena,
his sole focus becomes
the attainment of victory.
The player who loses sight of victory on this stage today,
the challenges may intensify for them.
This is because we are introducing
a new challenge for all other players
