[audience laughing]
Sometimes it's not possible to tell the truth, isn't it?

Which Mughal emperor was named after Sheikh Salim Chishti?

Salim! Anarkali!
There was a movie.
There was a movie based on Salim and Anarkali.
His name was Salim in it.
Anarkali...

[applauding]
Mr. Pankaj, you are a lawyer.
Things are looking up in your profession. Your family members
are lawyers.
What made you be a part of KBC?
It was not my idea to be on KBC.
It was my daughter's dream.
My daughter is 11 years old. Her name is Kashvi.
She is a huge fan of KBC.
She never misses a single episode.
- She absolutely loves KBC. - Yes.
The contestants usually say
they've fulfilled their parent's dream.
It is because of my daughter that I am on the hot seat.
I am fulfilling her dream by sitting in the hot seat.
Oh!
Your daughter wants to say something.
I want you to hear it. Can we see the video, please?
Hello, AB sir.
My name is Kashvi Mehta.
I am 11 years old.
I enjoy watching KBC.
Whenever KBC is aired,
dad and I sit on the sofa
and we start a competition
to see who can answer first.
Most of the times, my dad gives the right answer.
But I try my best.
Amit sir, everything is so lit about you.
And your style is so drip.
Please give some tips to my dad,
so that he can also look dank like you.
Cool hoodies.
Wearing speakers under suits.
Dad, play well so that we can go on a trip to Disneyland.
Best of luck, Dad.
- Thank you! - Thank you!

The ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
The buzzer has sounded.
Mr. Pankaj,
you have a chance to win double the prize money.
Here are your options.
If your answer is incorrect,
then your game will end here.
If the answer is correct, you will be bestowed with Dugnaastra.
If you don't know the answer,
you may use your lifeline.
You won't get the benefit of Dugnaastra,
but your game will go on.
Which of these portfolios in the Union Government
is not held by a former Chief Minister?
Defence Ministry.
Shri Rajnath Singh. Railway is Mr. Vaishnaw.
Agriculture is with Mr. Tomar.
Power is with...
Ah...
Power!
Given that Mr. Vaishnaw has not served as Chief Minister.
Power!
If you find this difficult, you still have two lifelines.
If you use the lifeline...
Yes, sir.
You will lose Dugnaastra, but the game will go on.
I am confused between Railways and Power.
I think it is Railways.
Since Mr. Vaishnaw has never held the position of Chief Minister.
Railways should be the answer.
Ah...
As of July 2024. It is recent, Mr. Vaishnaw...
It's not Mr. Piyush Goyal.
Sir, it is C, Railways.
- What should I do? - Lock C.
C, Railways.
Lock it.
You had two lifelines. You could have used it.
Yes, sir.
You've drawn several conclusions.
You were inclined towards Power.
Yes.
Power would have been the wrong answer.
This is the right answer.
- Well played! Well played, Mr. Pankaj. - Thank you!
That was a great deduction.
Defence, Agriculture and Power were out.
You said Mr. Vaishnaw was never one.
Mr. Ashwini Vaishnaw is the Minister of Railways
as you rightly mentioned.
He was a former IAS officer.
- Yes, sir. - He was never a Chief Minister.
Well played, sir.
The Dugnaastra will apply here.
[exhales]
Thank you very much.
You have won Rs. 1,60,000 already

He wishes to lock D, Mr. Computer!
It's the right answer. Well done!

Dundubhi was known for his unrivalled strength.

This is the second threshold and quite a significant one.
And a cheque of Rs. 3,20,000 is coming your way.

[music playing]
Options. A...
Theodore Roosevelt.
It wasn't Lincoln.
The right answer will fetch you Rs. 25,00,000.
You don't have any lifeline.
I won't stop you from playing further,
but you're free to quit if you wish with Rs. 12,50,000.
Roosevelt...
William McKinley...
[pensive music playing]
Sir, all the presidents are from that era.
William McKinley...
James Garfield!
It wasn't Abraham Lincoln.
Theodore Roosevelt.
Sir, I am leaning
on either William McKinley or Theodore Roosevelt.
William McKinley...
Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt.
- Abraham Lincoln... - I really don't know the answer.
I'm thinking, sir. Abraham Lincoln...
Don't look at me with such hope
as I have no clue.
All I know is the right answer will fetch you Rs. 25,00,000
and the wrong answer will bring you down to Rs. 3,20,000.
I think it's B, Abraham Lincoln.
James Garfield...
William McKinley...
I think it's B, Abraham Lincoln,
but I'm not too sure about it.
It should be Abraham Lincoln or Roosevelt.

[audience applauding]
We need to give out the answer. Guess one.
Abraham Lincoln.
Lock B, Abraham Lincoln.
No, it's the wrong answer.
- The right answer is James Garfield. - James Garfield.
James Garfield is the right answer.
James Garfield was
the 20th President of the United States
when he was shot.
Graham Bell was summoned
to locate the bullet
in the body of the president with a metal detector
but was unsuccessful,
because the bed on which he was lying had metal springs.
So, he could detect the metal from the springs but not the bullet.
A big hand for Pankaj Mehta. Come.
[audience applauding]
Here I come.
All right.
Mr. Pankaj Mehta, an advocate from Delhi came here
and played a graceful game.

Today's game ends here, okay?
All right, don't be disheartened.
