[theme music playing]
[audience applauding and cheering]
Yes!
Greetings, hello and thank you!
This is Amitabh Bachchan welcoming you and presenting
another knowledgeable, rewarding and grand episode
of Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[audience applauding and cheering]
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
All right!
Ladies and gentlemen,
there is a saying in English.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
To embark on a long journey, you must take that first step.
The first step you take is the most difficult.
This step is crucial for determining our success and shaping our future.
Getting through the Fastest Finger First round
is the first step to winning this game.
To all the players here, ready for the Fastest Finger First round,
I want you to understand that
the distance between you and that hot seat is exactly the same.
There is no difference.
It depends on the player
how much they can keep their dreams
ahead of the efforts of other players.
Therefore, I hope that leaving behind all doubts, worries,
and nervousness,
if all of you take your first step with full confidence,
I am sure you'll be one step closer to achieving your goal.
Am I right? All right!
So, come on!
Let's begin the game with the Fastest Finger First round.
Eyes on your computer screens now.
Ready, contestants?
The Fastest Finger First question appears on your screens now.
Your options are as follows.
Your time is up.
Let's see what the right order is.
First is D, Human. Humans have two legs.
Followed by B, Elephant. It has four legs.
Then comes C, Cockroach. It has six legs.
Lastly, we have A, Spider. It has eight legs.
This is the right order.
D, B, C, A.
Let's see which contestants have answered in that order.
Only two!
Pranati Paidipati was the fastest.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Wow!
Please come.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Well played!
A big hand for her.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Pranati, congratulations to you.
Who counts a spider's legs?
You are right, sir.
Grab a spider,
and if it bites you, things might not turn out well.
What if it bites you when you count its legs?
How do people know that a spider has eight legs?
The same applies to cockroaches.
I am petrified of cockroaches.
Same pinch, sir.
I doubt there is anyone who is not scared of cockroaches.
Am I right?
[audience laughing]
Cockroaches are incredibly resilient.
Right? They can survive anything.
You are right.
I know!
- They are too much. - I've experimented a lot with them.
There are products to kill it.
Someone said that if you put this powder
on a cockroach, it will die instantly.
I thought of trying it out.
So, I took a bottle
- and filled it with the insecticide. - Okay.
I filled it up.
- Okay! - I left some space at the top.
I opened the lid and with great difficulty, I held a cockroach.
[audience laughing]
I caught it and put it in that bottle.
And I closed the lid tight to let it die.
[audience laughing]
The story is still not over.
I opened the lid after a week, and it got out.
[audience laughing]
Amazing!
[audience applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen, Pranati
is seated across from me on the hot seat.
She is from Bengaluru, Karnataka.
A warm welcome to you.
- Thank you, sir. - I would like to know about you.
What have you been up to these days?
I make applications for cars by using Android.
You must be wondering what that is.
There are a lot of operations in cars.
We make applications for it.
I am an Android Automotive Developer.
[audience applauding]
Why did you have to get into this?
Sir, I love cars.
I am head over heels for cars.
There is a perception
that when girls are young, they enjoy playing
with Barbie dolls and kitchen sets.
That is there.
But other than that,
if I see a car on the street,
I fold my hands
and admire how wonderful the car is.
And that I will sit in it someday.
[audience applauding]
- I want to ask a basic question. - Okay.
Can you drive?
- I don't know how to drive. I... - Look at that.
[audience applauding]
But I can assure you
that if you travel with me,
I will keep you entertained.
My brother-in-law and my sister have given me a title.
Certified passenger.
If you ever want to go long distance,
or your shoot is taking place far away,
I have a request.
Hire me as your entertainment manager.
I will keep you entertained throughout.
[audience applauding]
From now on, whenever I sit in my car,
I will think of you.
Thank you, sir. Thanks a lot.
All right, Ms. Pranati. We had a lot of conversations.
Who did you bring here as your companion?
Sir, my lucky charm is here with me. My Husband.
KVL Sourabh.
- Hello, sir. - Hi!
And my rock star, my dad.
Mr. Paidipati Nagabhushana Rao is here.
- Your dad. - Hello!
Greetings to you. Welcome to the show.
Please applaud for them.
[audience applauding]
Mr. Sourabh, how many times have you taken her on a drive?
[laughing]
Like she said, she is a certified passenger.
I am a certified driver now.
[laughing]
Okay!
All right, Pranati.
Let me tell you about the game.
You're familiar with the rules. You will be asked questions.
You have three lifelines. Have a look.
The first lifeline is Audience Poll.
The second lifeline is Video Call A Friend.
And lastly, the third lifeline is Double Dip.
Let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[audience applauding]
The first question for Rs. 1,000 appears on your screen now.
Sir, I want to go with Option D.
If 8 is placed horizontally, it makes the infinity symbol.
So, the answer is D, 8.
Lock D.
It is the right answer.
[audience applauding]
This symbol is sometimes called lazy eight.
- Because it is lying down. - Yes.
What all goes through people's minds?
All right!
Pranati, moving on to the second question. Ready?
- Yes. - Next up is the second question for Rs. 2,000.
Options.
Sir, the driver won't be in the supermarket.
I will go with A, Cashier.
She wishes to lock A.
It is the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Now, the tradition
of going outside and shopping is over.
- Yes. - Nowadays, shopping is done on apps.
Do you make that too?
Sir, no. App...
It falls under Android development.
That application.
As I mentioned earlier, I am in the automotive sector.
I can make that application.
But I am not in that department.
- You are focussed on cars. - Yes, that is right.
- It is fine whether or not you can drive. - Yes.
[audience laughing]
Okay! Up next is the third question.
The third question for Rs. 3,000 appears on your screen now.
Okay?
Here are the options.
[clock ticking]
It is not Jalebi and Gulab jamun.
Sir, I will
go with Option C, Kesari bhaat.
Okay! What should I do?
- Lock it. - Should I lock it?
She wishes to lock C, Kesari bhaat.
It is the right answer. Why were you hesitating?
[audience applauding]
All right!
Let's move on.
You are two questions away from Super Sawaal!
Next up is the fourth question.
It is for Rs. 5,000.
The fourth question appears on your screen now.
Options!
Sir, Option A is copy.
F is for find.
P is for print. X is for cut.
So, I would like to lock Option B, F.
Lock it.
She wishes to lock B.
It is the right answer.
[audience applauding]
All right! Next up is the fifth question.
It is for Rs. 10,000. The first threshold of the game.
Mrs. Pranati, the fifth question for Rs. 10,000 appears on your screen.
This is an image question.
An image will be shown.
All right!
Can we see the picture, please?
- Okay? - Yes.
Here are your options.
Sir, a pump is used to measure the pressure.
So, I would like to lock Option D, Blood pressure.
She wishes to lock D.
It is the right answer. Please applaud.
[theme music playing]
The technical name is sphygmomanometer.
It is used to check blood pressure.
What is the need to give such a long name?
Just check my blood pressure. That is all.
Please get a sphygmomanometer.
Who will understand what is being said?
[audience laughing]
All right!
- Sir, I want to say something. - Sure.
It was my dad's dream to be on the hot seat.
- Okay! - He has been trying for many years.
This year, he made everyone from the family
register for it.
And I feel proud
that I am fulfilling
- his dream. - You're fulfilling it. Congratulations! Well done.
The bugle will be sounded.
[bugle sounds]
This means it is time for Super Sawaal.
And...
You must have seen how Super Sawaal is played.
All right!
Mr. Computer, please present the Super Sawaal.
[music playing]
Pranati, this is the question.
There is no time limit.
You have no options.
Sir, as far as I can remember,
Mother Teresa was in Kolkata.
She started her journey
by helping people in Kolkata.
That is what she started.
So, my focus is on that.
So, I would like to
go with Kolkata.
- It is now called Kolkata. - Kolkata.
Kolkata? All right!
- Yes. - Mr. Computer, Mrs. Pranati's answer is Kolkata.
Lock it.
It is the right answer. Well played.
[audience applauding]
Congratulations to you, Pranati.
Your answer to the Super Sawaal was correct.
And you have been
bestowed with a superpower
called Dugnaastra.
It makes a loud noise.
Now, I will ask
you the sixth question.
The sixth question for Rs. 20,000
appears on your screen now!
[music playing]
Options!
Sir, I have no idea about this.
- So, I want to use a lifeline. - Lifeline! Stop ticking.
She will use a lifeline. All three are available. Which one?
- I want to ask the audience. - Audience Poll. Okay!
Activate Audience Poll, Mr. Computer.
It is your turn, Audience.
Hold the voting meters.
And your time starts now!
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
C, Barbie, has garnered maximum votes at 72%.
A, B and D have got 10%, 8% and 10%. What will it be?
- Sir, I'll go with the audience. - All right.
Please lock C, Barbie.
She wishes to lock C.
Yes, it's the right answer!
Well done, audience.
Fantastic!
Barbie is a 2023 film.
Ryan Gosling played Ken in it.
- I haven't watched it. - Okay, neither have I.
- I watch more of Hindi and Telugu movies, sir. - Oh, okay.
I recently watched your movie 'Kalki 2898 AD'.
Okay!
[audience applauding and cheering]
- Let's focus on the game. - Yes.
Up next is the seventh question and it is for Rs. 40,000.
The seventh question appears on your screen now.
[music playing]

A movie related to Tashkent had come out, sir,
called 'The Tashkent Files'.
It is about Lal Bahadur Shastri.
So, I want to lock Option A, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri.
She wishes to lock A.
It's the right answer. Well played.
[audience applauding]
Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri died in Tashkent in 1966.
And a memorial of this visionary Indian PM is established

[music playing]
Options.
Sir, I am a bit confused.
Sir, I am leaning on Option B, Devi Chamundi.
So,
I wish to lock B.
B!
Final answer?
Mr. Computer, Pranati wishes to lock B!
You seemed a bit nervous.
Why did you think it's B?
- Sir, um... - Where did you read about it?
Or you have not?
Did you guess the answer or...
I eliminated the options, sir.
- All right. - Not a guess,
I eliminated the options.
Devi Saraswati
- is associated with knowledge. - Yes.
Devi Lakshmi with wealth.
I eliminated the options in that fashion
and arrived at Devi Chamundi.
Whatever option you arrived at, ma'am...
Is correct.
Well played!
[audience applauding]
- Sir, you had my heart racing. - Wow! Well done.
You answered beautifully and were a bit nervous,
but your answer is correct.
Raktabija was an asura who had received a boon
that another Raktabija would arise for every drop of his blood
- that fell to the ground. - Okay.
That's the story.
It made him immortal in a way.
During the battle, Devi Chamunda drank up all the blood
that spilt from Raktabija's body before it could hit the ground
eventually leading to the asura's death.
He was an asura.
Well played!
It was the right answer, Pranati.
Okay!
- Sir, I want to tell you something. - Yes.
I have been sitting at the back from the beginning,
- like the first contestant. - Okay.
I could only see your shoes.
During the Fastest Finger First round
or when you show someone the cheque
or when you look over there
and talk to the audience and the viewers on television,
all I could see was your hair and forehead.
I am seeing you up close now and can't stop smiling.
I am in a different zone now.
[audience applauding]
Why are you saying this now?
You wouldn't have brought me here had I said this earlier.
I would have sat next to you.
Sir, you...
[audience applauding]
Okay, Pranati.
Focus on the game now.
The ninth question is up next and it is for Rs. 1,60,000.
Look, you only have the ninth and tenth questions
to press that buzzer and avail of the Dugnaastra.
The ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options.
[clock ticking]
Only Boron is B.
Carbon is C, Nitrogen is N and Hydrogen is H.
[clock ticking]
Only 3! Option C!
- Option C? - Yes.
She wishes to lock C.
It's the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Chemical symbol for Hydrogen is H, Carbon is C, Nitrogen is N
and Sodium is Na.
All right.
You've answered nine questions correctly
and here comes another warning.
Please don't take any chances
as you won't get this opportunity again.
If you get this wrong, you'll fall to Rs. 10,000.
If it's right, the tenth question will get you Rs. 3,20,000.
Also, this is the last chance to opt for the Dugnaastra.
Okay, sir.
The tenth question for Rs. 3,20,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
You've pressed the buzzer.
You now get a chance to double your prize money.
Let me present the options to you. They are as follows.
[pensive music playing]
If the answer is right, you'll get double the prize money.
If you don't know, you could use a lifeline,
but then, the Dugnaastra will no longer be valid.
The game will go on though.
[pensive music playing]
I am not sure, sir.
I am trying to eliminate
between ASML, Intel, Nvidia and Qualcomm.
I don't wish to take a risk with this question.
- I'll use a lifeline, sir. - Okay.
If you use a lifeline,
you will lose the Dugnaastra and it will be invalid.
Okay?
Which lifeline will it be?
- I'll opt for Video Call A Friend. - Okay.
Please activate Video Call A Friend.
These are the three names you provided.
Ms. Shruthi Behara,
Mr. Raghavendra Karanam,
Ms. Swapna Viswanath.
Sir, I wish to call Raghavendra Karanam.
Mr. Raghavendra Karanam! Okay!
Please place a video call to Mr. Raghavendra Karanam.
Is he your family or a friend?
- Yes, he's my brother-in-law. - Oh, brother-in-law. Okay.
[line trilling]
Greetings, Raghavendra.
This is Amitabh Bachchan from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
'Hello, sir. I cannot believe'
'I'm talking to the greatest superstar of Indian cinema.'
'I am honoured to talk to you.'
- [indistinct] - Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
I don't believe in all these epithets you attached to my name,
but thank you so much, sir. Thank you.
Pranati is here with me
- and she needs your help with a question. - 'Okay, sir.'
- You have to answer within 45 seconds. - 'Okay, sir.'
- Ready? Get ready, Pranati. - 'Yes.'
Your time starts now.
I repeat.
'Pranati, I think it's Option B, Nvidia.'
'I know about this company.'
'I'm 80% sure about it.'
- You're sure about it! - 'Yes... I mean...'
'Yes. Nvidia has been in the news all over.'
'I'm 80% sure about it.'
Okay, thanks.
[buzzer sounds]
The time is up. What will you do?
Sir, he said he was 80% sure.
I trust him.
So, I'll lock B, Nvidia.
All right.
Mr. Computer, she wishes to lock B, Nvidia.
[suspenseful music playing]
How well do you trust him?
I do trust him.
Sir, you're absolutely right. It's the right answer.
'Thank you, sir. Thank you.'
Well played!
[audience applauding]
You've won Rs. 3,20,000.
His answer was correct.
Just two weeks after surpassing Apple's market cap,
Nvidia beat Microsoft
to become the world's most valuable company.
Nvidia manufactures chips that are required by AI applications
thereby increasing its value. Okay.
Let me draw you a cheque for Rs. 3,20,000.
[audience applauding]
Here's your cheque for Rs. 3,20,000.
[audience applauding]
How about a personal chat before I present the next question?
How did you two meet?
- Our story is quite an interesting one, sir. - Okay.
So, we...
I wish to say one thing.
All marriages have an interesting story!
[audience applauding]
All of them have an interesting story.
Right?
Yes, tell us your story.
- Our story began with a computer. - Oh!
Not this one, we met online.
We met through WhatsApp.
I mean, his father posted his profile on a group.
My dad posted my profile on the same group.
They read all the details, saw my photo and liked me.
The families spoke to each other.
Then we met personally.
So, we met online.
How about that?
[audience applauding]
Just look at the times!
You would not have gotten married if you didn't have a mobile phone!
[laughter and applause]
Sir, you were quite young,
charming and dynamic in your generation.
- So, if you had to... - No need for all that.
Sir, it is what it is!
You are still dynamic!
[audience cheering]
Okay!
What are you trying to say?
I'll get to that soon.
So, suppose you made your profile.
If you had to send your profile to a family
to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage,
what would you mention in your profile
that would convince the family within seconds?
This is a lot of hard work, sir.
- It's not easy. - Why would I make a profile?
[laughter and applause]
Why not, sir? It's important to make your profile.
Look!
[cheer and applause]
Ma'am, the thing is I am already married.
The train has already left the station.
It's impossible to alight it.
[audience applauding]
- The first one is height. - Yes.
That's six feet and two inches.
- Okay? - All right.
How would you describe yourself?
What do I say? I am who I am! What else?
[audience applauding]
What's next?
- Income! How about that? - Income! It's very important, sir.
[laughter]
If someone is marrying their daughter to you,
- they would want to know how much you make. - I'll tell you.
Look, there is a provision called RTI or the Right to Information.
Submit an application and you can find out my income.
[audience applauding]
Then you have expectations.
Expectations from future bride.
What are your expectations from your future wife?
How should she be?
Like a wife! How else?
A wife...
You call this a question!
[audience applauding]
[music playing]
Next comes hobbies and passion.
I won't tell you. Marry me if you want or don't!
- [laughs] - [audience applauding]
God, you took a test!
Sir, we got married after we passed this test.
[laughter]
Okay, let's move on.
The Super Sandook question is up next.
I'm sure you are familiar with Super Sandook.
Do you prefer the questions in Hindi or English?
- English, sir. - English. Okay.
All right! Let's play Super Sandook!
[music playing]
- Ready, Pranati? - Yes.
Your Super Sandook starts now!
[music playing]

Bindi.

Absolutely right.
[audience applauding]
You answered eight questions correctly.
You win Rs 80,000.
- Well done, Pranati. - Thank you, sir.
Let's revisit the questions where you went wrong.
How can you say, Asia?
It's South America.
Sir, the clock was ticking so fast.
You were wrong in another place.
It is Barcelona.
Not Madrid.
Eight questions have been answered correctly.
Should we deposit this Rs 80,000 in the bank?
Or would you like to revive your lifeline?
- Sir, I would like to revive my lifeline. - Okay.
Which one?
- Sir, Video Call A Friend. - Video Call A Friend. Okay.
Mr Computer, please activate Video Call A Friend lifeline.
[loud buzz]
Many congratulations to you.
All right, Pranati.
The eleventh question is up next, it has the least risk.
Do play it.
Because if you are wrong, you won't lose anything.
You will surely take Rs 3,20,000 from here.
And you still have two wonderful lifelines with you.
The eleventh question for Rs 3,20,000 is on your screen now.
[music playing]
Here are your options.
Sir, he has recently
become the president of Indonesia.
Please lock option D, Indonesia.
Please lock option D
Mr Computer. That's the right answer. Well done.
Wow.
[audience applauding]
Subianto will take office
in October 2024.
The presidential election in Indonesia was the world's largest
one-day election.
Transfer of power from the previous government to the new government
is taking place currently.
All right, Pranati.
Let's move ahead. The twelfth question will come before you
and it is valued at Rs 12,50,000.
Here is the twelfth question on your screen.
[music playing]
Here are the options.
I'm able to connect
only
Homoeopathy with Dr Samuel Hahnemann.
But I'm not sure.
My focus is going back to that option.
But...
Surgery... Alzheimer's...
I don't want to take a risk at this stage.
- I will use a lifeline, sir. - Okay.
You have two lifelines. Which one do you want to use?
- Sir, I'll use Video Call A Friend once again. - Okay
Please activate Video Call A Friend.
And would you like to call the same friend you called last time?
Or someone else?
Shruti Behara, Raghavendra Karanam,
Swapna Vishwanath.
- I would like to call Raghavendra once again. - All right?
Please make a video call
to Raghavendra Karanam.
[phone ringing]
Greetings, Raghavendra.
- Greetings. - We meet again.
[laughing]
You have another chance
where Pranati wants to ask you a question
and she wants your help with the answer.
Yes.
Pranati, your time starts now.
I repeat.
Any guess, brother?
Uh... can you repeat?
- Can you repeat? Dr Samuel Hahnemann? - Yes.
Time is running.
Any guesses?
I'm 50 per cent sure, it's World Alzheimer's Day.
50 per cent sure.
[tense music playing]
What would you like to do, Pranati?
Sir, he did not look very sure.
Maybe he did not hear the name correctly.
Or maybe I did not tell him clearly.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Sir, I would like to take another lifeline. - Okay.
Double Dip.
Mr Computer, please active Double Dip lifeline.
[lifeline activated]
Pranati, now you have
two chances to answer the question.
Please give us the first answer.
Sir, I would go with my instinct.
A, World Homeopathy Day.
World Homeopathy Day.
Please lock option A.
[option locked]
How much faith did you have in him?
You trusted him more the last time.
Sir, he was not sure this time.
So, I've taken a chance with Double Dip.
I want to follow my instinct and see.
There's no time to give the second answer
because you gave the right answer. Well done.
Well played, Pranati.
This option came to your mind earlier too.
But you were unsure
and you used the option. Dr Samuel Hahnemann was a German phys
He was born on 10th April 1755.
He developed the homoeopathy method for the treatment of diseases.
All right.
Pranati, you've won a fairly good amount.
How do you plan to use the prize money?
Sir, as I mentioned before
that it is my father's dream
- that he comes to KBC and plays the game. - Yes.
But
I am very happy
- that I am sitting here and living his dream. - Yes.
I would like to give him a part of the prize money.
He is retired so I would definitely like to help him.
Wow. Well done.
[audience applauding]
Along with that,
the salary that we get
every month,
be it mine, my husband's, my father
or anyone else in the family,
we donate one per cent of it
for donating food
- or to the cow shelter. - Oh-ho
Wow, that's great.
[audience applauding]
This prize money
will be partly donated also.
And whatever remains...
We have just begun our married life
and it is the dream of every husband and wife
- to own a car and home. - Yes.
We would like to
use some amount toward fulfilling that dream.
That's a wonderful thought.
- Congratulations to you. - Thank you, sir.
[audience applauding]
Okay.
Coming up is the thirteenth question for Rs 25,00,000.
You don't have any lifelines.
But guesswork does not work
because the questions are quite tough.
But we will not stop you from played further.
You are free to answer if you want to.
If you are right, then you will win Rs 25,00,000.
But if you are wrong, you'll fall back to Rs 3,20,000.
Okay?
The thirteenth question for Rs 25,00,000 is on your screen now.
[music playing]
Here are the options.
Sir, I don't have any idea about this.
And I
don't want to take a risk by guessing or elimination
at this stage.
- I would like to quit, sir. - Okay.
- Is this your final decision? - Yes, sir.
All right, we permit you to quit the game, Pranati.
Congratulations. You have won Rs 12,50,000.
[audience applauding]
This Rs 12,50,000 will be transferred right now.
Your name is here.
And here's your account number.
Transfer now.
I'll click on Okay and Confirm.
And the amount has reached your bank account.
It's a quick, easy and safe process.
Well played, Pranati.
Please guess any one option.
Sir, I'll choose A, Dutch.
Please lock A, Dutch.
This would have been wrong.
The right answer is Habsburg.
In 1778, a Dutch trader
went to the Nicobar Islands,
after getting permission from the Sultan of Mysore
and he named an island 'Theresia'
after the queen Maria Teressa.
Habsburg Dynasty
is situated in Austria
and Maria Teressa was the queen.
He was a Dutch trader
who did this after getting permission
- from the Sultan of Mysore. - I had no idea, sir.
Okay.
[audience applauding]
It's time for another round of Fastest Finger First.

Ladies and gentlemen, Naman Jain
has come to KBC
here for a special reason.
We have a video that we'd like to show to Naman.
Let us see what is the special reason.
[tabla playing]
My name is Naman Jain.
I'm from Gwalior.
I'm 26 years old now.
I've been in Delhi for the last couple of years preparing for UPSC.
I am bearing all my expenses.
I have learnt from my father, as he is also a self-independent man.
I also want to be self-independent.
That's why I bear all my expenses.
I am a youth of today.
Today's youth believes a lot in investment.
People want to invest in stock market, bitcoins, etc.
I found out another investment is knowledge.
People invested a lot in it in the olden days.
I have invested a lot in knowledge in my life.
And today, I want to explore that knowledge on this platform.
Whatever I win from here
based on my knowledge,
I will use it to
repay the loan that I took to do my MBA.
I'll use the money to repay it.
Wow.
[audience applauding]
Congratulations, Naman.
Very few people and contestants
whom I meet,
sometimes they tell me that they've taken a loan,
so that they can build their home, or whatever the reason is.
For the first time, I've seen
that a contestant has taken a loan
for this education
and made a resolution
to study further.
- Yes, sir. - It's a wonderful thing. And you wish
that this loan
does not become a burden on your parents.
You want to earn the money
and repay the loan. It's a wonderful thought.
It's very good.
- Well done, Naman. - Sir, I'd like to mention
this factor of self-independence that's in me,
- has been passed to me by my father. - Yes.
My dad dropped out of college after completing his second year of BSc
and began his business.
He has set up everything on his own.
It's not like our family is not able
in paying the fees or managing other expenses.
- Yes. - But I really wanted to pay
for the course that I'm doing.
And I want to repay the loan myself.
I completed my MBA
and then I got into a job. I always wanted to do my UPSC
but I first completed my MBA
and then I worked in the corporate field for one and a half years.
I earned some money here.
Now, I'm slowly repaying the loan with that money
and I have repaid about half the loan.
I hope that I win enough today to pay off the entire loan
and manage the other expenses that will come up for UPSC in future.
How much loan have you taken and how much is left to repay?
Sir, I took a loan of fifteen lakhs.
- Okay. - I've paid back around half of it, with my own money.
We wish that you win at least eight to ten lakhs,
so that you can repay the loan.
Yes, sir. But I would like to win more.
Yes.
[audience applauding]
Okay, let's move ahead in the game.
The third question for Rs 3,000 is on your screen, Naman.
Let me place the options.
Sir the answer is D, Deadpool, Wolverine
- Okay, shall we lock it? - Please lock D.
Please lock option D.
That's the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Let's move to the fourth question.
You're two questions away from Super Sawaal.
The fourth question for Rs 5,000 is now on your screen.
Have a look at the options.
Sir, the answer is B, Polio
because you were the main brand ambassador for this campaign.
I mean, though
I don't remember all of it,
I remember your tagline, 'Do boond zindagi ki.'
No one can forget that.
- I... - Yes.
I wasn't even born at that time, but I know this tagline was famous.
- What shall we do? - I choose, B, Polio.
Please lock option B.
That's the right answer. Well done.
In 2014,
World Health Organization's
Regional Certification Commission, certified
the WHO South-East Asia Region,
which includes India,
as polio-free.
As I have mentioned several times, this battle went on for eight years.
- Hmm. - Only after that India became
free from Polio
We had to work very hard for this.
[audience applauding]
Okay. All right.
Naman... [hooter sounds]
The hooter has sounded indicating that the time is up.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for being here.
