'Mr. Banti Vadiva belongs to a tribe.'
'He had minimal resources'
'but his dreams and hopes were unbounded and limitless.'
'His goal is to better his family's current condition.'
'And to serve as an example for his community'
'so that he could turn the challenges in his life'
'into an opportunity.'
[cheer and applause]
Ladies and gentlemen, imagine you had
only Rs. 260 in your bank account.
'Banti Vadiva. Asadi, Madhya Pradesh'
What would your state of mind be?
You'd be terrified and dejected
and might even curse your fate,
but only those people who completely depend on their fates
are the ones who curse it.
Let me tell you
that those who have faith in their hard work and knowledge
grace KBC's hot seat
having won Rs. 25,00,000
with two lifelines still intact
and are known as Mr. Banti Vadiva.
[audience applauding]
'It's the right answer.'
'Yes! It is the right answer!'
'It's the right answer!'
'I have been hosting this show for around 22 years now.'
'This is very rare.'
'Forget becoming a 'crorepati','
'if the contestant gets the questions before that right,'
'the audience gives them a standing ovation.'
[audience applauding]
So, Banti won Rs. 25,00,000 yesterday and proved
that knowledge cares not for religion or status.
His success so far
is a message to every person out there.
The sky is the limit for those who possess knowledge.
[audience applauding]
It is a wonderful coincidence
that today, on the occasion of Teacher's Day,
we are getting to witness such a beautiful
and impressive result of one's education.
May Banti's flight on the wings of knowledge
take him to the very last question.
That's all I pray for.
And we begin today's game on that note.
Give him a big hand.
[audience applauding]
His father is here as his companion.
- I wish to ask your father... - 'Gulbu Vadiva, Banti's Father'
If you have something to say to your son, this is your chance.
- Banti is my son, sir. - Yes.
It is a request to him if he can go further in the game.
I give him my blessing.
If I have made any mistakes, please forgive me, sir.
My best wishes are with you too,
- and I pray that your wishes come true. - Yes.
- Yes, sir. - A big hand for his father.
[audience applauding]
Sir, before I present the question,
please tell us what is on your mind.
[laughs]
I am really happy, sir.
Sir, if there were a scale to measure happiness,
it would have broken.
- I am that elated. - Yes.
Sir, I have implicit faith in my knowledge.
I wish to answer the upcoming questions
with grace, sagacity and deliberation.
Sir, as for the additional prize money I win,
I'll use it to fulfil my obligations and resolve my family's problems.
I wish to use that amount for the welfare of my family.
Congratulations, Banti.
[audience applauding]
Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[audience cheering and applauding]
I pray that your enthusiasm stays the same throughout.
[audience cheering and applauding]
- Today's first question is the fourteenth question. - Rs. 50,00,000.
- It is for Rs. 50,00,000. - Yes, sir.
- You still have two lifelines. - Yes, sir.
Very rarely are contestants left with two lifelines at this stage.
- Mr. Banti Vadiva. - Yes?
The fourteenth question for Rs. 50,00,000
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Okay.
Options.
There is no time restriction.
You have two lifelines.
- Video Call A Friend and Double Dip are the two lifelines. - Yes, sir.
If you think you don't know the answer,
you could use your lifelines.
Which of these materials? 19th century.
The 19th century.
1800...
It is the year 1800.
The 19th century. 1800...
Used as currency in China and parts of Asia.
[pensive music playing]
Saffron can't be the answer.
It could be tea.
It can be tea. Tea leaves...
Sir, saffron is a type of spice.
I don't think it is possible to make bricks with it
or that bricks were made with saffron.
Sir, explaining it to me is of no use.
[laughter]
Yes, sir.
Bricks made of this material
were commonly used as a currency.
Saffron...
Used to make bricks.
In China, tea...
The production of tea was high and still is.
I guess China is number one in the production of tea.
India is too.
And both China and India come under Asia.
China is in question and it does fall under Asia.
It should be tea.
[pensive music playing]
Sir, I think it is B, Tea, but I am highly confused.
Sir, I would like to use a lifeline for this question.
Okay.
Video Call A Friend.
- Mr. Computer, Banti wishes to opt for a lifeline. - Yes, sir.
Please activate Video Call A Friend.
And here are the three names you provided, sir.
- Mr. Suraj Pratap, Mr. Jay Nagre and Mr. Satish Pawar. - Yes, sir.
Sir, Satish Pawar...
- Mr. Satish Pawar. All right. - Yes, sir. I wish to call him.
- Is he a friend? - Yes, sir.
- Friend. - All right.
Please place a video call to Mr. Satish Pawar.
[line trilling]
Greetings, Mr. Satish Pawar.
This is Amitabh Bachchan from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
- 'Greetings, sir.' - Greetings.
- 'Yes.' - Sir!
Your friend is here with me on the hot seat.
- 'Yes.' - Banti.
- 'Yes, sir.' - He's at a very important question.
- 'Yes.' - The next voice you hear
- will be Mr. Banti Vadiva's. - 'Yes, sir.'
Banti, your time starts now.
Bricks made of which of these materials...
Bricks made of which of these materials
were commonly used as currency until the 19th century
in China and parts of Asia?
Option A, Cardamom.
Option B, Tea.
Option C, Saffron.
Option D, Clove.
[repeats question]
[repeats options]
'Banti, I am not sure of the answer.'
'So, please use your judgement.'
'I am not sure about any of the options.'
- 'I can't lean on any one.' - [buzzer sounds]
'So, please use your judgement.'
He ran out of time.
Sir, you still have one lifeline left.
- Double Dip. - Yes, sir.
If you strongly feel that two out of the options
could be the right answer to this question,
then I'd suggest that you opt for Double Dip.
However, if you have faith in yourself and your knowledge,
I will not stop you from playing.
Sir, I did computers... I mean, I graduated.
It was a three-year course in computers.
- Bachelor of Computer Application. - Yes.
Sir, and the computer is putting me to the test today!
[laughs]
You may deliberate.
Sir, as far as I think, I'd say 70%..
It should be Option B but I'm not sure.
Double Dip is dangerous.
I wonder what will happen if Double Dip took away B and D.
I heard that it was tea,
but hearing is one thing and studying it in depth is another.
[pensive music playing]
What would you like to do, sir?
Sir...
I'm about to take a big risk.
Double Dip.
You'll opt for Double Dip. All right.
Please activate Double Dip, Mr. Computer.
[chiming]
- Sir, let me tell you two things. One, you can't quit. - Yes, sir.
- And second, you'll get two chances to answer the question. - Yes, sir.
What's your first answer?
Sir, B, Tea.
He wishes to lock, B, Tea.
[suspenseful music playing]
'As no one in my family is literate,'
'I could not get the right guidance in terms of what I should do.'
'Owing to which, we could not take many decisions on time.'
'I feel had they made the right decision,'
'they would have completed their education on time'
'and gotten a job.'
[gripping music playing]
'I have got a chance'
'to move up in life by coming on Kaun Banega Crorepati'
'and secure my future.'
'Kaun Banega Crorepati is my life's biggest trial'
'and I don't wish to lose this opportunity.'
[gripping music playing]
As I mentioned, Double Dip gives you two chances to answer.
- This was your first answer. - Yes, sir.
The second answer
will not be needed!
This is the right answer!
[audience applauding]
Many congratulations!
[applause continues]
You were leaning toward it.
- You ought to listen to your mind at times. - Yes, sir.
[applause continues]
Wow! Congratulations, sir.
Tea was predominantly grown in China
- and other parts of Asia. - Yes, sir.
It was an extremely valuable commodity in Europe
and other parts of the world.
A brick of tea had a standard size
and it was used as money or exchanged for other commodities.
Yes, sir.
Silver and gold were not accepted in certain places like Mongolia.
Yes, sir.
- Tea, however, was accepted. - Yes, sir.
And tea bricks were used as a medium of exchange.
[audience applauding]
What do I say, Banti?
I rarely get the chance to say what I am about to say now.
Yes, sir.
- But I must. - Yes, sir.
Up next is the fifteenth question
which is for Rs. 1 crore.
[audience cheering and applauding]
You have played very gracefully, Banti.
You answered every question with much deliberation.
Answer the next question in the same manner.
- Please know that you don't have any lifelines left. - Yes, sir.
You're free to quit at any time if you so wish.
- You've won Rs. 50,00,000. - Yes, sir.
The fifteenth question for Rs. 1 crore
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Yes, sir.
Here are your options.
[pensive music playing]
Sir, Olympic medals
are only awarded to the players who participate in it,
be it wrestling
or shooting and other sports.
Sir, he was a sculptor.
He was a sculptor and...
He wrote 'The Stag'.
It is the name of an artwork, sir.
Why would he be awarded an Olympic medal?
He was a sculptor.
Let's talk about the Oscar.
Oscars...
Oscar Award recognises excellence in cinematic achievements.
The Oscars are associated with films.
Best Actor, Best Actress...
Those who have performed the best in a particular year.
The Nobel Prizes, sir...
One of the fields is Peace.
A Nobel Prize in Peace.
Can a sculptor be awarded a Nobel Prize in Peace?
There's also a Nobel Prize in Medicine.
He won't get it though.
Neither Chemistry nor Medicine.
Not even Physics.
A Nobel Prize in Peace...
A Nobel Prize in Peace for a sculptor...
A Nobel Prize in Peace is awarded to someone who
has done social service on the international level.
Or to a politician
or someone in a high position... I mean...
A prime minister or president
could be awarded a Nobel Prize in Peace.
It can't be a Nobel Prize in Literature
because the question doesn't talk about literature.
No, the question doesn't talk about literature.
I'm down to the Pythagoras Prize.
I'm hearing Pythagoras for the first time.
I did study about Pythagoras in Math but my Math is a bit weak.
You have the Pythagoras theorem.
It applies to the three sides of a right-angled triangle.
Hypotenuse's square is equal to sum of the square of other two sides.
That's the Pythagoras theorem whereas this is the prize.
And I have not heard about the Pythagoras Prize at all.
I am guessing that C and D
should not be the answers.
C and D, no.
It comes down to A and B.
[pensive music playing]
This question is for Rs. 1 crore. You have run out of lifelines.
If your answer is correct, you will get Rs. 1 crore.
Please let me know if you don't wish to continue the game.
You can quit. You will win Rs. 50,00,000.
If you play and the answer is wrong,
then you will come down to Rs. 3,20,000.
- You will lose Rs. 46,80,000. - Yes, sir.
Sir, it takes more than 50 years to earn Rs. 50,00,000.
- Which is why I am asking you to play with caution. - Yes, sir.
You can quit if you don't know the answer.
You will win Rs. 50,00,000.
I've read about all the Nobel Prize winners.
I haven't read about a sculptor
or a painter being awarded
a Nobel prize. I haven't heard of this.
Oscar award and Olympic medal are not the answer.
Olympics is about sports.
Athletic activities take place.
I am focused on Pythagoras Prize. I can't shake it off.
Pythagoras Prize.
I think that is the answer.
What would you like to do, Banti?
I am 70% sure about A.
But I haven't read about this.
I know about the other three options.
[suspenseful music playing]
[music playing]
Sir, I want to quit.
You want to quit. All right!
[audience applauding]
You have the permission to quit.
You win Rs. 50,00,000.
I will transfer Rs. 50,00,000 to your bank account.
This is digital app.
Your name and account number have appeared.
I will enter the figure Rs. 50,00,000.
Rs. 50,00,000 has reached
your bank account.
Your bank account has Rs. 50,00,000,
the bonus of Rs. 1,60,000.
Add Rs. 260 that was already there.
- Congratulations to you. - Yes, sir.
Okay! Yes!
[audience applauding]
You will have to give the right answer. Guess the answer.
Sir, Option A, Pythagoras Prize.
He wishes to lock A, Pythagoras Prize. Lock it.
I am glad you didn't play. It's the wrong answer.
The right answer is Olympic medal.
In the past, the Olympic Games included events like
architecture, painting, and literature used to be included.
- Really? - Yes.
Chintamoni Kar was a sculptor from Bengal
who represented Great Britain
in the 1948 Olympics.
- Okay! - He represented a foreign country.
And he won a prestigious award for sculpting.
In the earlier Olympic Games,
it wasn't necessary to be a world-class athlete
to win a medal.
And he won this medal in 1948.
- Congratulations to you. - Yes, sir. Thank you
You played with great finesse.
A round of applause for him.
Come, sir. This way.
[audience applauding]
Welcome once again to Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was Banti Vadiva.
He played
with careful consideration and won Rs. 50,00,000.
And he quit when the question for Rs. 1 crore was asked.
I would like to congratulate him once again. Thank you.
Thank you, all of you.
All right!
Enough!
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is time to welcome
our special guests today.
Sports and athletes
play a crucial role in shaping a nation's history.
When Kapil Dev steps onto the field with the ball in hand,
every move he makes contributes to a new historical narrative.
P.T. Usha, with her lightning speed, races through the air,
creating a new legacy for the nation.
Mary Kom, with each punch she throws,
she knocks down her opponent,
etches a powerful narrative into the history of the country.
When Neeraj Chopra releases his javelin and it touches the ground,
it not only creates history for the country
but also becomes an inspiration for its bright future.
Am I right?
Ladies and gentlemen, whenever an Indian athlete
raises the tricolour with their achievement
in any corner of the world, it fills the hearts of people all over India
with immense pride.
It's a great honour for this platform
to welcome two champions from India today
who serve as role models for a growing and thriving India.
Aman Sehrawat, the youngest wrestler from India,
clinched a bronze medal in the 57 kg individual freestyle wrestling
at the Paris Olympics 2024.
And listen, also at the Paris Olympics 2024,
the first female athlete
to win an Olympic medal for India in the shooting competition,
and the only Indian athlete to win
two Olympic medals in the same event, Manu Bhaker.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Manu Bhaker
and Aman Sehrawat.
[audience applauding and cheering]
[audience applauding]
Thank you!
India! [all cheering]
All right!
- Welcome, Manu and Aman. - Yes, sir.
You've filled our audience's hearts with so much enthusiasm.
You have been given a grand welcome.
We are all proud that you are with us on our show.
I have seen you on TV,
- I am seeing you here now. - We saw you on TV as well.
Yes! That is great. At least you watched me on TV.
Yes.
Congratulations to you on behalf of all of us
and our nation.
- Once again, welcome to our show. - Thank you.
Manu, I would like to ask you first. When you first received the medal,
I am sure you felt proud of doing something for the country.
But what was going on in your mind?
Sir, first of all,
- I am glad that I didn't give up after the Tokyo Olympics. - Okay.
I don't have good memories
from the last Olympics.
Despite being the second in the world,
my performance wasn't good.
So, it was a relief.
I am glad I didn't give up.
The second thought was, I still have one more match to play.
It's too soon to celebrate.
Yes! Two! And you are...
- Show it to everyone. - Sure.
Ladies and gentlemen, two medals.
Aman, you too show your medal to everyone. Yeah!
Yeah!
I watched your performance at the Olympics!
I learned a great deal about both of you.
You are the youngest player. You too are the youngest, Aman.
I watched
your wrestling match, which you won.
How was your experience?
This is your first time in the Olympics.
And you won a medal.
The experience was good.
It is a big deal to win
a medal at such a young age in wrestling,
especially on the first attempt.
I've had my goal in mind for quite a while.
That I want to participate in 2024. I gave my best.
I aimed for a gold medal, but that didn't happen.
I am pleased that the wrestler who defeated me in our match
a year ago. The score was 10-0.
A 10-0 score means a one-sided defeat.
To win the match one-sided.
- Yes. - I faced two challenges.
I wanted to win a medal for the country
and settle my score with him.
I didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
- And then I... - That is a great thing.
Then I defeated him with 10-0.
Yes, you are right!
I received a message from our people
that I was completely outmatched.
That is lovely. Taking revenge should come from within us.
You defeated me last time, I won't spare you now.
Congratulations!
Who did you bring with you as your companion? You go first, Manu.
My parents are here, sir.
- They are... Yes. - They are here.
Hello! Welcome to our show.
Aman, who did you bring with you?
My brother and my coach are here.
Your coach is here.
Welcome.
He won the medal because of you.
I got a chance to be on your show today.
And I am wearing a suit for the first time.
Otherwise, I am always wearing my loincloth and wrestling kit.
So, tell me, how do I look?
No, you...
[audience applauding]
You would have been given a grand welcome
- even if you were wearing your wrestling kit. - Thank you, sir.
Your modelling skills are absolutely fantastic!
Many, your hair was all over the place
while shooting.
You have tied your hair today,
I was confused if it was you or someone else.
I am not used to hairstyles and makeup.
Yes. You didn't do this. Okay.
It is nice.
- Okay! - Your beautiful face
is more visible when your hair is pulled back. Am I right?
[audience applauding]
All right! Okay!
Now, let's get to the main reason for your visit to this platform,
which all of us, including our viewers,
have been eagerly anticipating.
This game is about to begin.
I hope that you win a huge prize money
so that you can donate it to the charity of your choice.
Let me explain the rules of the game.
Questions will be asked to you one by one. Okay?
The prize money is mentioned next to each question,
If you give the right answer, you win that prize money.
For your convenience, if you feel stuck
and you are not sure about the answer,
there are three lifelines at your disposal.
The first one is Audience Poll.
The second lifeline is Video Call A Friend.
The third lifeline is Double Dip.
All right, ladies and gentlemen. Manu and Aman,
let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[music playing]
My best wishes are with both of you.
Play at your own pace.
Don't hesitate... Just like you shoot
and you knock your opponent down.
Okay? All right!
The first question
for Rs. 1,000 appears on your screen now.
Here are the options.
- Merchant Navy. - Okay!
My dad is in the merchant navy.
- A. - For trading and commercial purpose.
Trading and commercial.
A, Merchant navy.
She wishes to lock A.
It is the right answer. Merchant navy.
- Your dad looks happy. - Dad.
The first question was dedicated to him.
All right! Okay!
Manu, before we go ahead. Your sari is beautiful.
Thank you, sir.
I like two things about you.
Your sari and your smile.
Thank you, sir.
Whenever I saw her
smile on the victory stage,
she looked beautiful.
You should always keep smiling.
[laughing]
- Yes! Thank you. - I had thought of telling you when we meet.
- I would be fortunate to do that. - Thank you so much.
You have a good smile too. It's not...
Okay!
You won Rs. 1,000. Let's move on. The second question is here.
The second question is for Rs. 2,000.
It appears on your screen now.
Walnut.
Options! A...
- B, Walnut. - B, Walnut.
Lock it!
It is the right answer.
You won Rs. 2,000.
Walnuts are strong.
Many people test their strength by holding a walnut
between two fingers and crack it open.
- Can you do that? No? - No!
- I crack it with my teeth. - Yes!
I also use my teeth to break it open.
But it cracks my teeth and not the walnut.
[laughing]
All right! Focus on the game again.
The third question will appear on your screen. Ready?
This is the third question for Rs. 3,000.
It will appear on your screen now.
Options! A...
- A, Dilip Joshi. - A?
He wishes to lock A.
It is the right answer. Wow!
[audience applauding]
You won Rs. 3,000.
You gave three right answers.
You were laughing when you answered.
Do you have a special connection with Mr. Dilip Joshi?
He is his favourite. I have also heard...
- Taarak Mehta. - He used to watch it after the competition.
All right!
[audience applauding]
You both have set a remarkable example
for the future of India
with the sports initiatives we have going on.
When both of you were children...
Manu, I will ask you first.
Have you ever imagined yourself competing in the Olympics
and bringing home a medal for India?
As a child, I had no clue that the Olympics were even a thing, sir.
When I was in school,
- there were athletic meets in school. - Yes.
That in itself felt like a huge achievement.
- We felt like we were the best if we won this competition. - Yes.
Gradually, when I learnt about the Olympics,
it...
Back then, I wanted to
win a gold medal there.
- Yes. - That is still a dream now.
- I'm set on winning it. - Don't worry, you will win gold.
[laughing]
[audience applauding]
Aman, was there
someone who inspired you?
Or did you just decide to do wrestling?
Sir, I saw Sushil's match
in the 2012 Olympics. He was on the podium.
So, I wanted to be on the podium.
I can't be like him.
I doubt I am anything like him.
I wanted to be able to do something like him, even a little would do.
I dreamt of
participating in the Olympics
- and making India proud. That's why, sir. -Yes.
[audience applauding]
All right!
Manu, was there someone
who inspired you
to participate in the Olympics?
Sir, it was my mom's dream
to be an athlete.
It was her wish...
She was never provided with resources.
She didn't get enough support.
She didn't know that there were levels to be cleared.
She has no clue.
But she was good at it.
She always gave me the freedom
to play whatever sport I wanted to play.
Even if I used to come home all bruised
with my clothes torn while playing Kabaddi.
Even then, she supported me.
She was fine with it.
It was also her dream.
And her support
has been inspiring for me.
- Because if a mother is strong, her daughter is also strong. - Yes.
And...
All right!
Let's move on. Coming up is the fourth question.
It is for Rs. 5,000.
The fourth question for Rs. 5,000 appears on your screen now.
- Horse. - Horse.
We should lock it.
- Should I? - You lock.
D, Horse.
He wishes to lock D, Horse.
It is the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Coming up is the fifth question. The first threshold of the game.
The fifth question for Rs. 10,000
appears on your screen... This is an audio question.
This question is based on a song.
We will play the song and then give options.
And then you can answer.
Mr. Computer, please play the song.
[song playing]
Here are the options.
[clock ticking]
[sighs]
It is a romantic song. It should be Shah Rukh Khan.
- It is Shah Rukh Khan. - Shah Rukh Khan...
Lock, Shah Rukh Khan.
C, Shah Rukh Khan.
Lock it.
Not him, lock C.
It is the right answer. Wow!
[audience applauding]
This song is from the film Dil To Pagal Hai.
- We don't get time to watch films. - It's that film. Title track...
Okay! You don't get time.
I am upset that you don't have the time to watch films.
Sir, we do try.
But you guessed it right.
It was a romantic...
If there is romance, it has to be Shah Rukh Khan.
The thing is,
I have also worked in romantic films.
Your name was not mentioned here.
All right!
Look...
You have answered five questions correctly.
And you have crossed the first threshold
and you will definitely take Rs. 10,000 today. But
this is a tiny sum. We'd like you to win a bigger amount.
[bugle sounds]
This bugle is for the Super Sawaal.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's play the Super Sawaal.
Mr Computer, please present the Super Sawaal.
[music playing]
There is no limit on time.
You won't get any options
and you can answer whenever you want to.
Lawn Tennis? I think it's Tennis.
Lawn Tennis.
- Lawn Tennis. - She says it's Tennis.
Please lock Tennis.
Yes, it's the right answer. Well done.
[audience cheering and applauding]
- Both of them are well-known tennis players. - Yes.
And you gave the right answer.
Now that you've given the right answer for Super Sawaal
you have acquired a superpower that is called
Dugnaastra.
- Here it is. [loud buzz]
That was a very loud sound.
[audience applauding]
Get ready for the sixth question for Rs. 20,000.
The sixth question for Rs. 20,000 is on your screen now.
[music playing]
The time to press the buzzer is up.
Here are the options.
B, Asana.
- Asana. - Please lock B, Asana.
That's the right answer. You've won Rs. 20,000.
[audience applauding]
There is Vajrasana, Halasana,
- Shavasana. - Bhujangasana.
There are some of the Asanas of Yoga.
You must be aware of all these.
I'm not sure you do yoga during your training. Do you do it?
- Yes, I do. - You do yoga. How about you? - Yes, sir.
That's what I was thinking, when you turn in one direction
you must be doing some breathing exercise and Pranayama.
Once you stabilise your breathing
you will then take a shot. Okay.
Aman, when we spoke to you, you told us about who inspired you.
Who was the person
who supported you the most
in giving the right direction to your game of wrestling?
Sir, when I was 11 years old, my parents passed away.
Oh.
In 2014, I came to Chhatrasal Stadium.
Then until 2019,
I stayed at home for not more than a day or two.
Then I made a target to go to the Olympics.
After 2019, I don't remember staying at home for longer than a day.
I mean, I would go home or the temple
and then return to the stadium.
For me Chhatrasal Stadium was everything.
[audience applauding]
[siren wailing]
[dramatic music playing]
I was a young kid
when I remember seeing wrestlers winning for the country.
I told my father
that one day I'll become a wrestler and bring a name to my country.
[inspirational music playing]
A wrestler's life is not just limited to the wrestling arena.
It is outside the arena too.
Life taught me my first lesson when I was 11 years old.
I lost my mother and father.
My mother passed away in 2013.
Then my father left me in Chhatrasal Stadium.
After five to six months he also passed away.
I've been living in Chhatrasal Stadium for ten years.
This is my home
and it is my everything else too.
He has worked very hard.
He has nothing to do with anyone or anything.
Even if there are many people sitting in the audience
he will focus only on his wrestling.
[inspirational song playing]
Aman Sehrawat's name has been added to history that he has won
a bronze medal in the 2024 Olympics.
[triumphant music playing]
Now I want to change the colour of this medal in the 2028 Olympics.
I have my eyes set on the Olympic Gold Medal.
- Wow... That's great. [audience cheering and applauding]
[audience applauding]
Congratulations and best wishes to both of you.
Thank you, sir.
As you said
we also hope that you win the gold medal next time.
And bring more fame to our country.
Your journey
was quite a challenging one.
- Your life. - Yes, sir.
Was there anyone who stood by you at all times?
And they motivated you and supported you.
There must be someone.
Sir, my brother
- Sagar. He's here with me. - Yes, your brother.
- He's my brother. - Very nice.
He's my brother, sister, parents, all of them. I can't give one name.
When my father passed away,
my uncle did not have much money. There is not much earning
from working on the farms.
Diet is essential for wrestling. Almonds, milk,
clarified butter, etc. Sagar was the one who took care of it all.
Many congratulations to you.
[audience applauding]
Were you there in Paris when he received the medal?
I was in Chhatrasal Stadium.
We have been together for ten years now.
When he got the bronze medal at Olympics
he called me first, but I couldn't answer the call.
He called me again and then I answered it.
- I was very happy. - Right.
I will tell you how happy he was.
I called him up first.
- Hmm. - But since he didn't answer I called my coach.
I called my coach Mahabali Satpal.
He became very emotional and congratulated me for my hard work.
Then I called Sagar again. This time he answered.
As soon as he answered he said
'Why did you fight like this? How did you lose against him?'
'You should have got a gold.'
'I told you not to make this mistake, but you made the same mistake.'
I was thinking
that he would praise me for winning a medal for the country.
But he did not praise me. Instead, he said
'No problem, we will work on your wea and get a gold in the next Olympics.'
- But he still did not praise me. - Wow...
[audience applauding]
Congratulations to you.
- Thank you. - You have supported him
and please don't worry. We also wish that one day
Aman will win a gold medal for the country.
All right, Manu
and Aman, let's move ahead in the game.
The seventh question is for Rs. 40,000.
Are you ready?
Here it is on your screen.
[music playing]
This question is based on an image. You will be shown an image
and the question will be based on that.
We will show you an image.
Can we have the image, please?
[clock ticking]
The options are in the images.
If you know the answer, press the buzzer.
- Option A. - Okay. - Yes.
Please lock image option A.
That's the right answer.
You've won Rs. 40,000.
A is Punjab, B is Jharkhand, C is Karnataka
and D is Gujarat.
You gave the right answer.
All right, next is the eighth question for Rs. 80,000.
Here it is on the screen now.
[music playing]
This is another image-based question. Okay.
Please have a look at the image.
[suspenseful music playing]
- This is one of my favourite countries, sir. - Okay.
- I know it. - If you know it, you can press the buzzer.
You can get twice the amount.
No? Not yet? You'd like to wait. Okay.
Here are the options.
- C, Greece. - C, Greece? - Yes.
Please lock C, Greece.
That's the right answer.
[audience applauding]
You've won Rs. 80,000.
- Athens... - Sir, may I remove this? It's feeling heavy.
- Do you want to remove it? - Yes. - Both the medals?
- It feels heavy. - Sure, please remove it.
It is heavy.
You can give it to me. I'll keep it here.
- Sure, sir. - I will feel like I have won it.
[audience cheering and applauding]
- Oh, God. This is really heavy. - Yes, sir.
[audience applauding]
The medals are heavy.
[audience laughing]
So...
Greece was the right answer
You have won Rs. 80,000.
You must have visited Greece for your competitions. No?
Yes, sir. I haven't visited Greece
but I've seen several European countries.
- As my father is in the Merchant Nav we would travel together. - Yes.
- Yes. - I like travelling
and touch wood my profession is so good, that by God's grace
- I get to travel a lot. - Yes.
Greece is
is where the Olympics began.
Yes, sir.
- That's where it all began. - The Olympics was started in Greece.
All right.
Aman, you also must have travelled a lot.
Sir, all the places look the same to me. I don't travel much.
I see only the arenas.
[laughter]
[applause]
There's a reason why we don't travel.
Yeah.
We don't travel because
we have that problem and we have to maintain our weight.
Like I wrestle in the 57 kg category,
and my weight is 62 kg.
So I need to lose 5 kg of weight.
We practice there before the competition to reduce weight,
so we don't feel like moving around due to fatigue.
And injuries happen after the competition.
So after the competition, you just have to rest for recovery.
- Right. - So we don't feel like it.
In the Olympic Games, you have to show your weight for two days.
First time before the match.
Our weight check is at 7:00, and the match starts at 10:00.
So we have to show 57 kg,
and the match goes on till 7:00 in the evening.
And then the next morning, we have to show 57 kg again.
So during the match, we have to drink and eat for energy.
Then our weight increases by 3-4 kg, which we have to lose overnight.
In such cases, no relaxation of even 10 grams is given
and if it is even 10 grams more, then the person is disqualified
- from the competition. - Right.
I was in a lot of pain, and you must have seen it too.
- Yes, what happened with Vinesh in the Olympics. - Yeah.
It happened with her.
I thought she was disqualified for just 100 grams.
- But then they said that this is a rule in the Olympics. - Hmm.
That your weight should be appropriate. All right.
Okay, Ms Manu and Mr Aman, you will be asked the ninth question
for Rs. 1,60,000. Here it is on your computer screen.
[title music playing]
- VP means vice president. - It's the last chance.
There is another one after this.
She is the President. He is the Prime Minister.
Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar...
Not Justice Chandrachud...
I think option D.
- Option D? - D!
What should we do? Should we lock it? She is asking to lock option D.
It's absolutely right!
Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar is the VP, Vice President of India.
VP means Vice President.
Therefore, this email will reach Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar.
The next question is the 10th question
and a very important stage of the game.
And here, I tell all the players
not to take a chance on this question.
Because you will get this chance only once.
If you get this question wrong, you will fall straight to 10,000.
And I don't want that to happen.
Here's the tenth question. Ready?
Tenth question for Rs. 3,20,000. Here it is on your computer screen.
[title music playing]
'Which of these...' There! She pressed it!
Wow, good!
The question was...
Poland...
And here are your options.
B - Indonesia.
Now, you have a chance to win double the amount. What's your answer?
Yes, B - Indonesia.
She wants to lock option B, Indonesia.
It is the right answer!
[applause]
This was a question worth Rs. 3,20,00
And because of Dugnaastra, you will get Rs. 3,20,000 as a bonus.
A big round of applause for them.
[applause]
It is a digital app. Here is your name.
Here is your account number.
I'll click on 'Transfer Now'.
I'll write 3,20,000. One, two, three, four.

All right. You have received Rs. 3,20,000 as a bonus,
and you will also be given a cheque for Rs. 3,20,000.
[applause]
Universal Shiksha Samiti Goria and Chaudhary Foundation.
You have received a cheque of Rs. 3,20,000.
[applause]
Okay.
So we just saw on the cheque the names of two organisations
to which you would like to donate whatever amount you win.
Tell us about these two organisations. Ms Manu, you first.
In Universal Shiksha Samiti,
a small school was started in the village itself.
My parents started it.
And mom's contribution has been immense,
and she has taken care of everything.
I studied there, and I started shooting from there only.
And from there, I won my first Gold in the Commonwealth Games.
At that time, I was in class 11 at this school.
So this school is for all the children
from the area around the village...
It's a pretty vast range.
So this school gives them free training
and motivates them further.
- So they teach shooting there? - Yes.
When I started out, the range was pretty small.
And now it has become a little bigger with 10-12 lanes.
So this is a small school and small range
- in Goria village. That's it. - Right. Oh!
Mr Aman, what is Chaudhary Foundation?
- This is for needy women and children. That's it. - Oh!
- So it's for them. - Yes.
Many congratulations to both of you and the winning amount
will be donated to these institutions.
Let's move ahead in the game.
Now, you will get a Super Sandook, which will be played here.
You must already know what this is.
Should I now read the questions to you in English or Hindi?
- Hindi would be fine, sir. - Hindi?
- Yes. - Okay.
So let's play Super Sandook.
[title music playing]
Get ready. The first question
of Super Sandook is here on your screen.
'Which of these wild cats has long stripes on its body?'

[drums beating for time over]
Stree 2! Okay.
Time is up but...
You answered nine questions correctly and won Rs. 90,000.
[applause]
Many congratulations! You were wrong on one question.
''Sarkate ka Aatank' is the subtitle of which 2024 movie?'
2024? Oh, I forgot. - Stree 2.
Yes.
Stree 2. This is its subtitle. You said Shaitaan.
So, these 90,000 rupees will be deposited into your bank account
- because you have not used any lifeline. - Sure.
So the 90,000 rupees you have earned
will go to both of your institutions.
Here's the account number. Click on 'Transfer Now'.
And you have one 90,000.
One, two, three, four...
Oh, I typed an extra zero!
Sorry!
[laughing]
Clicked it. Confirmed it.
And Rs. 90,000 have been transferred to your bank account right away.
To the bank accounts of your organisations.
Many congratulations to you both.
[applause]
There are very few people
who can answer nine questions correctly.
You missed it by just one question.
Otherwise, I would have invited you to our home for dinner.
I missed my third medal also like this.
[laughing]
All right, Mr Aman and Ms Manu.
- Sir, I have one more thing to say. - Yes?
If I recall, I've had a career of like eight and a half years.
But when we go to the podium to receive the medal,
it is a matter of eight seconds...
So, in those eight seconds, memories of the entire eight years
come to mind all at once.
Like the problems that came our way,
and we did not give up, even after working so hard,
we lost this competition... we lost that competition...
Then the journey till here.
So that seems very special to any player.
And when we receive that medal on the podium,
we remember those memories of our entire journey.
- In a flash! Whatever happened. - You sacrificed so much
- and worked so hard, and you are... - Exactly.
at this stage today. Many congratulations to you!
[applause]
All right.
Let's move further in the game.
You have answered ten questions correctly.
All three of your lifelines are still alive. That's great!
The questions will get more difficult now,
so use your lifeline whenever you feel like it.
This is the 11th question for Rs. 6,40,000.
And we call this the least-risk question.
Because even if it goes wrong, you won't lose anything.
The 11th question for Rs. 6,40,000 is here on your screen.
[title music playing]
It must be either Sikkim or Arunachal Pradesh.
- Nathu La... - You have plenty of time.
Nathu La usually...
A or C... I think it's either A or C.
There is nothing of such name in Kashmir and Ladakh.
Um...
Nathu La. Sikkim? Nathu La...
There is confusion between the two options.
- A or... - Let's make the call, shall we?
All three of your lifelines are alive.
You have Audience Poll, Video Call A Friend, and Double Dip.
- Let's use the Audience Poll. - You want the Audience Poll?
- Yes. - All right.
Mark the Audience Poll, Mr Computer. Audience, it's your turn.
Give the right answer.
And your time starts now!
[Audience Poll timer music]
[Time up]
C! Sikkim got the highest percentage.
- The same thoughts were running through your mind. - Yes.
Ms Manu, 52%. What would you like to do?
- Please lock C - Sikkim. - Go with the audience? All right.
She wants to lock C - Sikkim.
The audience has given the correct answer. Congratulations to you all.
[applause]
The traditional meaning of Nathu La
- is Whistling Tunnel. - Whistling, what?
- That means a tunnel. - Tunnel.
- Pass!
It's also an important cross-border trading point, Nathu La, Sikkim.
All right, Mr Aman and Ms Manu.
- Sir, I have one more thing to say. - Yes?
I memorised one of your...
I mean, it was a while ago when I saw this movie.
So, can I say it?
- If it's a good thing, then go ahead. - Yes!
Okay.
'Tradition, prestige and discipline'
'are the three pillars of our Gurukul.'
'Based on these three, we can tell you about your future.'
- It was a dialogue from my movie. - It was from Mohabbatein.
[applause]
Ms Manu and Mr Aman, we have a few minor questions
that we'd like to ask you once more.
Ms Manu,
regarding your preparation,
are there any particular techniques
or special insights that your coach imparts to you
to enhance your performance and improve your game?
Sir, at the start, the fundamentals of any discipline must be solid.
For instance, in my sport,
people often believe that simply picking up a gun and shooting
is all it takes
and if it hits, it hits. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
However, in reality, during competitions,
our heart rate surges tremendously
and we are unable to react or show any response.
Thus, controlling excitement at that time
takes considerable practice and time.
To maintain this control, I always do this
without skipping a day with discipline.
- Yes. - Yoga, meditation, or Surya Namaskar
and then in the evening...
One breathing pattern is
4-8.
Inhale for four seconds.
Exhale for eight seconds.
- Oh. - Breathe in and breathe out.
Once you master that,
your heart rate will get very calm whenever you want.
Practice it thrice. It will start to calm down.
So, I do this a lot.
I get terrified on the lane. I shiver a lot.
Inhale for four seconds. Exhale for eight seconds.
Yeah.
- So... - Please wait. I'll breathe and you count it.
Okay.
One. Two. Three. Four.
Five. Six. Seven. Eight.
I have become a champion.
[laughing]
You have found it out now.
Inhale for four seconds. Exhale for eight seconds.
- Okay. - Let me tell you something.
No matter how we must have learned,
and whatever equipment we have used,
no one can match your style.
[clapping]
There is no one in India who wouldn't have seen your movies.
Even when I go out, everybody knows you.
They say, "India?"
"Amitabh Bachchan. Shah Rukh Khan."
[clapping]
All right. Let's move forward. There will be a 12th question now.
There are two lifelines left.
Video call a friend and double dip.
This is the 12th question for Rs. 12,50,000.
Here is the 12th question on your screen.
[tense music playing]
Hmm. Usain Bolt.
Option A.
- Sir, option A, athletics. It's Usain Bolt's biography. - Okay.
She is saying option A, athletics. Lock it up.
You gave the right answer. Well done.
You got Rs. 12,50,000.
Usain Bolt is one of the greatest
- Olympic players. - That's right.
He has won many accolades.
All right. It has been 12 questions. Rs. 12,50,000.
Now, the 13th question will be in front of you.
It is worth Rs. 25,00,000.
The 13th question worth Rs. 25,00,000 is here on your screen.
[tense music playing]
Here is the question.
Look at the options. A.
I play the violin but,
I don't know much about it.
Stradivari.
You must have read the history of these musical instruments.
I haven't read about the musical instruments.
I don't even know what Banjo is.
Ukulele...
If you find it difficult, you have lifelines.
Sir, I think we should take the lifeline.
- Will you take the lifeline? - Video call.
- Video Call A Friend. - Yeah. - Okay.
Please highlight Video Call A Friend.
These are the three names that you gave us. Look at them.
There Vinod Sharma, Aashish Singh,
and Vivek Bohra. Who will you talk to?
I will talk to Mr Vinod Sharma.
Mr Vinod Sharma.
- Yeah. - All right.
Please video call Mr Vinod Sharma.
Is he a friend or a relative?
He is a very senior IAS officer.
Oh, okay.
Hello, Mr Vinod Sharma.
It's Amitabh Bachchan speaking from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Hello, sir. Hello.
What a pleasure to meet you.
Thank you, sir.
Mr Vinod, we have with us
two of the very famous personalities.
Manu Bhaker and Aman Sehrawat.
- Hello. - In their voice... Manu, will you read it?
Yeah.
Manu will read you a question
and she will give you four options.
- Right. - You will have to answer in 45 seconds.
Okay?
- Of course. - Okay. All right.
All right, Manu. Your time starts now.
'Amati' and 'Stradivari' are famous names associated
with the manufacturing of which musical instrument?
Guitar, Ukulele, Violin, Banjo?
I have no idea. Sorry.
- No problem. - Absolutely no idea. Sorry.
No issues, sir. I was... Let's see.
[timer ringing]
He doesn't know the answer.
- His time is running out. - Thank you, sir. Thank you.
You still have a lifeline if you have two answers in your mind.
If the answer is wrong, you will fall to Rs. 3,20,000.
You can quit the game any time you want.
You are winning Rs. 12,50,000. Think about your organisations.
[laughing]
- Musical instruments... - Take the other one.
- Take it if you want. - Yeah, take it.
- Sir, we'll take another lifeline. - You will take it.
Highlight the Double Dip.
As I said, you will get two chances now.
You will have to answer twice now.
Which is the first one?
The first is violin.
Option D, Violin.
[tense music playing]
There has been a big mistake.
You said violin and it turned out to be right.
[cheering]
Congratulations to you. Well played.
Did you guess it or did you know about the history?
- Sir, I don't even know what banjo is. - Yeah.
But Stradivari was sounding a bit European.
So, I thought it was a German instrument.
So, it could be a guitar or violin.
- So that's what it was. - All right.
The violin is being developed for more than 500 years. - Yeah.
More than 500 years.
Both Amathi and Stradivari
are ancient Italian architects.
They are the architects from Italy.
Their original violins
are being sold for more than 10 lakh dollars.
So, you have won Rs. 25,00,000.
Congratulations to you. A round of applause for them.
[clapping]
[hooter sounds]
The hooter has sounded.
Manu and Aman, we don't know how to thank you.
You came here today.
We got a chance to talk to you
about how you prepared.
You elevated the country's honour.
Congratulations to you.
So, you have won Rs. 25,00,000.
We will transfer this to the bank account of your organisation.
It gets digitally transferred.
The names of your organisations are here.
The account number is here.
We will press transfer now.
