I watched the promo.
You saw the promo.
Didn't you watch it?
Why not?
Don't you go out to watch films with your husband?
He is kind of a boring man.
[laughing]
Even when we are at home
and if I ask him to watch something together,
he shows no interest. He doesn't like what I like.
[laughing]
- Mister! - Hello, sir.
I request you
- to go out to watch movies. - Okay, sir.
The one talking to you works in the film industry.
- Okay, sir. - I could use a bit of support.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Your wife wants to go, so take her.
Okay, sir. I will take her.
- Okay! You will go, right? - Okay, sir.
He has said it in public.
- Yes! - Okay.
All right, Sumitra. Our team went to meet you.
They made a video about you.
I want our viewers to watch this video.
Can we see the video, please?
My name is Sumitra Dinesh Kapade.
I am 30 years old.
I am from Surat, Gujarat.
My family consists of me, my husband and my four-year-old daughter.
I look after my house and my daughter.
My husband looks after our household.
My husband is an autorickshaw driver.
[honking]
It is a big deal to buy our own house.
Regardless of its size,
it reflects our feelings and we have every right to it.
A house that's ours is a treasure.
Our financial situation was not great.
We purchased a house on loan.
We thought we would be happy if we had our own house.
But after purchasing our house on loan,
our responsibilities have increased significantly.
I bought a house for Rs. 16,00,000 and secured a loan of Rs. 13,00,000.
It has only been a year.
If I go home early
or take the day off,
I won't get the money, I won't be able to pay the instalment.
[music playing]
He returns home late at night.
His face clearly shows the hard work he has put in.
At the end of the day, I hand over the money
I've earned to my wife.
Because I know that she runs my house.
I am lucky to have a wife like Sumitra.
She loves me a lot and looks after the house.
I truly believe that Sumitra is Goddess Lakshmi for me.
Without her, I would have never thought of buying a house.
My husband loves me a lot.
He calls me Lakshmi.
I truly want to help him financially.
My goal is to participate in Kaun Banega Crorepati,
so I can ease his pain and provide him with financial assistance.
[audience applauding]
Your perspective is truly beautiful.
I will call you Lakshmi.
[audience applauding]
Dinesh, were you always in this profession
or were you doing something else?
- I used to work at a diamond company before. - Okay!
It was 15 days night shift
and 15 days day shift.
Working in an air-conditioned space for 15 days made me fall sick.
[somber music playing]
Also, the pay was not good
and my family struggled to get by.
A few of my friends suggested that I buy an autorickshaw.
This way I can spend time with my family,
I will earn better and my health won't deteriorate.
I thought about this suggestion. I somehow arranged money.
I secured a loan and bought an autorickshaw.
[music playing]
How many hours do you have to work, Dinesh?
Sir, I work for around 14 hours.
Mrs. Sumitra, other than being a housewife,
do you do odd jobs?
After I got married, I thought
of working. Earn something.
Women in Surat take part
in textile work while staying at home.
Such as applying stone embellishments to saris.
It takes around an hour for one sari.
I used to get around Rs. 5 for one sari.
- Just Rs. 4? - Rs. 4 or Rs. 5 for one sari.
[somber music playing]
I tried doing that for around three months.
But eventually, I stopped.
I used to make around Rs. 1,000.
Despite working so hard.
I had to work for nine hours straight.
And I used to make around Rs. 60 per day.
But I thought of supporting him in any way I could.
After that, I gave birth to my daughter.
So, I thought of discontinuing it.
But I thought of what I can do
to help him and overcome his challenges.
Every morning I used to wake up and think about what to do.
I completed BCom.
So, I was reflecting on what work I can take up from home.
So, last year I tried
to participate in Kaun Banega Crorepati.
- Now, you are here. - I am on the hot seat today.
Congratulations to you, Sumitra.
[audience applauding]
All the struggles and challenges will fade away
during this game today.
This is what all of us pray for.
Today, you're here after seeking Lord Ganesha's blessings.
- I hope that it is fulfilled. - He is my motivation, sir.
I came here because he motivated me.
You are doing this for him. He is blessing you.
He is working for you.
This is beautiful.
[audience applauding]
All right, Sumitra. Coming up is the fifth question.
Focus on the game.
The fifth question for Rs. 10,000 appears on your screen now.
Okay?
Here are the options.
Sir, Option D, Jyeshtha.
- Jyeshtha. - Lock Jyeshtha.
Lock D?
She wishes to lock Jyeshtha.
It is the right answer.
You've cleared the first threshold.
You won Rs. 10,000.
[audience applauding]
Jyeshtha is also known as Jyestha.
It is the third month in the Hindu calendar.
Jyestha is a Sanskrit word.
It means 'older'.
Okay!
Jyestha means older. Okay.
[bugle sounds]
The bugle has sounded, Sumitra.
This means it is time for Super Sawaal.
You are familiar with Super Sawaal.
Brace yourself. Present the Super Sawaal.
[theme music playing]
The answer is Nepal.
Nepal? All right!
She wishes to lock Nepal.
It is the right answer. Congratulations!
[audience applauding]
You now have the superpower Dugnaastra.
[buzzer sounds]
Okay, Sumitra,
the sixth question for Rs 20,000
is on your screen now.
[music playing]
Have a look at the options.
B, Judaism.
Please lock option B, Judaism.
That's the right answer.
Wow.
This question was a little difficult.
You must go to visit Ajanta and Ellora, if you can.
They are very beautiful caves.
- I will go, sir. - Okay.
- I've told... - You cannot imagine how wonderful the sculptures are.
They began carving an entire mountain to make the caves.
And that's how it was made.
There are wonderful paintings
and their colour is still intact.
Though it was made thousands of years ago
even now their colours have not faded.
You can imagine
what amazing craftsmanship was available even at that time.
- Isn't it? - Yes.
You were saying something.
I was saying that I'm fond of travelling.
- But my husband is not. - No, but...
I will take him and go, sir.
That's the spirit. Gentleman.
[audience applauding]
Please go along with her if she wants to watch any movies.
- I will take her and go. - Please, for our sake.
Let's move ahead in the game.
The seventh question for Rs 40,000. Okay?
Dugnaastra is still active.
The seventh question for Rs 40,000 is on your screen now.
[music playing]
The time to press the buzzer is over.
And the options are here before you.
I'd like to use the Double Dip lifeline.
Will you take a lifeline? Please calm down.
Please activate the Double Dip lifeline, Mr Computer.
Sumitra, you now have two chances to give the answer.
Please tell us the first answer.
Sir, C, Dandi.
Please lock C, Dandi.
This is the right answer. Congratulations.
[audience applauding]
These statues are a part of National Salt Satyagraha Memorial
at Dandi.
- And it is in Gujarat, I think. - Yes, it's in Gujarat.
- You're from around that place. Haven't you gone to visit? - No.
I thought you might have had a chance to visit. No problem.
- Sir. - Let's move to the eighth question.
- Yes? - I wanted to ask something.
You want to ask? Or say?
No, I want to ask.
- Can I ask you something? - Of course, you can.
I like to spend time with my husband,
similarly, does ma'am tell you that you're not giving her time?
Because you're here the whole day.
She must be saying it, right?
[audience applauding]
Oh-ho. What do I say?
When people ask me questions about my family life,
it puts me in a lot of difficulty.
Several times when this kind of a question is asked,
I always use an example.
That is also a personal one
but it is related to my father.
If you're okay, I can share it.
When I was studying in school or college,
my father
had the habit
of going for a walk at 4:00 am.
After that, he'd go to work.
After coming back from the office,
since our family income was not sufficient to run the house,
and my father was a well-known poet,
he would go to a poet's gathering
in areas that were close to the city of Delhi
or Allahabad.
When he would go there, he would get around Rs 400 or Rs 500 more.
It would help in running our household.
After doing all this, he would come back at one or two in the morning
and go for his walk again at four.
I once told him
when he returned at two or three in the morning
and I opened the door,
I asked, 'Father, you work too much.'
He said, 'Son,'
'it's very hard to earn money.'
I kept quiet.
Many years passed by, Sumitra,
and I entered the film industry
and began working here.
My work used to be spread across three shifts.
From 7:00 am to 2:00 pm would be the first shift for the first movie.
From 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm, I'd shoot for another film
during the second shift.
And then 10:00 pm to 6:00 am next morning would be the third shift.
And that would be a third film.
After that, I'd have to go back to the 7:00 am shift.
After working like this for many year one day, my father opened the door.
He said, 'Son, you work too much.'
[audience applauding]
I said... Hold on, everyone.
I said, 'It's very hard to earn the money.'
So, don't stop him.
Whatever he's earning for you
he gets it after a lot of difficulty.
So have patience.
My wife does not say anything.
Because I've narrated the same story to her many times.
This is a bugle.
It keeps playing in between.
Without asking our permission.
Let's see, which fellow citizen has asked today's question.
The car has departed from Maharashtra and it's going
towards Odisha.
[peppy music playing]
Greetings, Mr Amitabh. My name is Pragya Mishra.
I live in the temple city of Bhubaneswar.
My question for today is
In which event of 2024 Paris Olympics,
India defeated Australia
in an Olympic match after 52 years?

[audience applauding]
This is for you. Congratulations.

All right,

And for this, you can win Rs 80,000.
The eighth question for Rs 80,000
Dugnaastra is also active.
Here is the question on your screen.
The time to press the buzzer is over. Here are your options.
[clock ticking]
Sir, A, Lord Parashurama.
Parashurama? All right.
- What shall we do? - Please lock it.
Please lock option A, Lord Parashurama.
Please lock it.
You've given the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Your husband is very happy. Huh?
- Can I turn around and see him? - Of course.
Take a good look at him.
Lord Parashurama learnt to wield the weapons from Lord Shiva.
And he was his disciple.
When his Guru's bow was broken, he was enraged
and he questioned Lord Rama.
Sumitra, I'll call you as Lakshmi.
Please tell me, before coming here
all the contestants prepare themselves.
- Did you also prepare yourself? - Yes, sir.
How did you prepare yourself?
Sir, last year I had come here
for the ground auditions. But I lost in the GK round.
Okay. That's when I decided
that I will have to study
- because there is no other option. - Yes.
I watch the news and study on YouTube.
I prepared books,
I wrote different books for different states.
If there is an incident in one state
then I would note it down in that book.
Then I would combine all the books and study.
You prepared so much.
[audience applauding]
Do you have the time to do all this?
Yes, sir. I make the time.
- You make time. - I did it when my daughter went to school.
- Okay. - That's when I read.
All right, Sumitra.
Only two questions are left when you can use the Dugnaastra.
The ninth question is coming up before you.
You have lost one lifeline, the Double Dip.
The ninth question for Rs 1,60,000 is on your screen now.
[music playing]
You've pressed the buzzer. Wow.
You have one chance to win twice the sum, Sumitra.
If your answer is right
then you will win twice the amount.
Foreign minister...
Indira Gandhi...
I think it's Narendra Modi.
I don't think Narendra Modi was the foreign minister.

Foreign minister.
Sir, Shri Narendra Modi.

Please lock C, Shri Narendra Modi.
You've won it. Well done.
[audience cheering and applauding]
From 2014 to 2019
Mrs Sushma Swaraj was the Foreign Minister for India.
At present Dr S Jaishankar is the Foreign Minister for India.
You gave the right answer.
Narendra Modi was never
the foreign minister.
Madam, what do I tell you?
You've won a bonus of Rs 1,60,000.
Here's your name and account number. And Rs 1,60,000.
I clicked on Okay, I pressed Confirm
and it has reached your bank account.
Sir, what can I say? You're very lucky.
- Yes, I am. - Sumitra has contributed
so that your loan can be fully repaid.
- Thank you. - Slowly it will be repaid.
- Isn't it? - Yes.
Many times I ask the contestant what they will do with the money,
but I know what you're going to do, so I will not ask you.
Why are you pointing that way? Will the money go there?
It will go to him, sir.
Oh-ho.
Have you never thought about yourself?
Sir, if he's happy, then I'm happy.
[audience applauding]
[mellow music playing]
You said a very beautiful thing. All right.
- You've become such a wonderful example, Sumitra. - Thank you, sir.
- Truly, my best wishes are with you. - Thank you, sir.
[audience applauding]
Sumitra,
next up is the tenth question for Rs 3,20,000.
I always caution the contestants
not to take a chance for this question
because you will get this opportunity only once.
If you make a mistake here
then, unfortunately, you will fall back to Rs 10,000.
If you get the answer right, then you'll win Rs 3,20,000.
It's the second threshold of the game
and you will surely take Rs 3,20,000.
You still have two lifelines. Don't forget about them.
The tenth question for Rs 3,20,000 is on your screen now.

We hope that
when you go back from here, you repay all your loans.
If the loan gets fully repaid
then what will you do for your wife?
I will take her on a trip.
[audience applauding]
Taking her on a trip is a very small thing.
Firstly, I will take her to one of your movies.
