[theme music playing]
Come on!
[audience applauding]
Yes!
[audience applauding and cheering]
- All the best. - Thank you so much, sir.
Greetings, hello and thank you!
This is Amitabh Bachchan greeting
and welcoming you
to another knowledgeable, rewarding and grand episode
of Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[audience cheering and applauding]
Thank you.
Have a seat.
Oh my!
Enough!
Okay! Please have a seat.
Ladies and gentlemen, thanks a lot
to all of you.
On this platform, a contestant's family
is their main source of support.
Just as breath is essential to life,
family holds a significant place in our existence.
Most of the players who come here
either achieve this success
with the support of their families
or they strive to do something for their family
after winning.
This is quite natural.
Our family
acts like a soft carpet
that lays itself down to help us stand on our feet.
Our family becomes the navigator who steers the boat.
The navigator
who gives us the freedom
to ride the waves of success.
A family might not always share our happiness,
they are the first to comfort us when
we're down.
A cheerful and smiling family brings with them
the lively Ritika Kumari,
who is seated before me as the rollover contestant.
I want you to welcome her once again with a big hand.
[applauding and cheering]
Rollover contestant
Ms. Ritika Kumari is seated across from me.
Ms. Ritika is from New Delhi.
- Ms. Ritika, let me introduce your companions first. - Sure.
Your dad is here. Greetings, sir.
- Hello, sir. - Your mom is also here.
- He is your brother, right? Her brother is here. - Yes.
[audience applauding]
Ms. Ritika, usually the first thing
I ask the contestant
is what they do.
Sure. I am a healthcare journalist and anchor.
- Are you a journalist? - Yes, I am.
Hold on!
No, sir!
- I will bow down to you! Nice! - No, sir.
[audience applauding]
We must respect journalists.
My life depends on them.
- Yes. - Okay!
You said you were a different type of journalist.
Yes, sir. I work as a journalist specializing in healthcare.
- I focus on healthcare. - Oh!
There is no segment related to healthcare that I don't cover.
Be it medtech, hospitals,
professionals,
or a patient.
I cover these topics
in print media and digitally.
Our goal is to make healthcare in India the very best it can be.
- Okay. - So that our people are healthy.
And to help other countries
that are also our family.
You are doing a wonderful job.
Thank you, sir.
I will ask them to give you a big hand for this.
Thank you so much, sir.
All right! Ms. Ritika, I will read out the rules of the game.
- You're familiar with the rules. I won't repeat it. - Yes.
Pay attention to the three lifelines.
The first lifeline is Audience Poll.
The second lifeline is Video Call A Friend
and the third one is Double Dip.
All right, ladies and gentlemen. Let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[audience applauding]
- All the best to you, Ms. Ritika. - Thank you, sir.
The first question is an image question.
An image will be shown.
This question is based on that.
The first question for Rs. 1,000 appears on your screen now.
Did you see it?
Here are the options.
Sir, please lock Option C, Hanging clothes to dry.
She wishes to lock C. Lock C.
It's the right answer.
[audience applauding]

I want this enthusiasm from you.
Moving on to the second question for Rs. 2,000 appears on your screen.

The third question is for Rs. 3,000 appears on your screen.
Here are the options.
Sir, please lock Option B, Chashma.
She wishes to lock B, Mr. Computer.
It's the right answer.
- Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. - Ooltah Chashmah!
This is the name.
- Sir, I have a question for you. - Sure.
Sir, I am a lazy potato.
Lazy potato. I don't move from my couch.
You can't make me move.
Where did the potato come from?
Sir, potatoes
are often associated with laziness.
- That is why that is said nowadays. - Okay!
Sir, my family members say, 'Baby, step out of the house.'
'Explore the world.'
I am old school.
I stay at home all day long.
I spend time with family.
The TV is on.
I keep watching what is on and I eat.
- So... - So, sir. What did you do earlier?
I want to know what you are doing
so that I can think before answering.
I am saying that because she is a journalist.
[laughing]
No, sir.
I have to be smart with journalists.
- Otherwise, you will print it. - No, sir.
Who knows what AB does at home. I asked him
and this is what he replied.
You will print it.
No, sir.
When you were my age,
what did you do back then?
Did you go out with friends and have fun
or were you more like me and stay at home like a lazy potato?
No, we didn't have TV back then.
So, how did you pass the time, sir?
I used to stare at my watch to pass the time.
[audience applauding]
Oh!
I have some time to spare,
so I host a TV show
called Kaun Banega Crorepati.
And...
[audience applauding and cheering]
I spend my time...
[audience applauding and cheering]
All right, Ms. Ritika. Focus on the game.
You are two questions away from Super Sawaal.
The fourth question for Rs. 5,000 appears on your screen now.
Here are the options!

She wishes to lock C, Brinjal. Lock it!
It is the right answer.

In Bihari... I am from Bihar, so I know.

- Lock D? - Sure.
She wishes to lock D.
It is the right answer. Wow!
[audience applauding and cheering]
The image shows boxes
filled with electronic voting machines
and VVPAT units used in the elections.
[bugle sounds]
Ms. Ritika, that's the signal for the Super Sawaal.
Mr. Computer, please present the Super Sawaal to Ms. Ritika.
[music playing]
Sir, Tabla.
Mr. Computer,
Ms. Ritika's answer is Tabla. Please lock it.
Tabla is the wrong answer.
Sitar!
Ustad Vilayat Khan
plays the sitar so beautifully.
He is legendary.
And Niladri Kumar is brilliant. Sitar is the right answer.
All right, Ritika. It's all right.
The game will continue.
The only catch is that you would have received Dugnaastra,
but that opportunity isn't available. It's fine.
Coming up is the sixth question.
It is for Rs. 20,000.
The sixth question appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options!
[clock ticking]
Sir, please lock Option B, Arms.
She wishes to lock Arms.

Yes! Sahastrabaahu.
This temple showcases the form of Lord Vishnu with a thousand arms.
Okay! I just want to know.
- Yes, sir. - When you stay at home all day long and watch TV...
Only on weekends. Not every day, sir.
Okay!
What else do you do at home other than watch TV?
- Sir, I... - Any hobbies?
Yes, sir. I have a lot of hobbies.
But the thing is...
I give a lot of advice to people.
- Do you give advice to people? - Yes. I'm often dispensing advice.
- Give me an example. - For example,
my friends come to me. Everyone here is aware.
There are a lot of youth here.
They face a lot of problems in relationships.
- Okay! - So...
I give a lot of advice when it comes to that.
Benching, ghosting, breadcrumbing are happening more frequently now.
Sir!
- Are you talking about eating bread? - No, sir.
[audience applauding]
What is it?
Sir, Breadcrumbing means
the boy and the girl...
The boy drops hints to the girl, and she does the same,
but neither of them is ready to take
the plunge into a relationship.
Oh!
- Is that called breadcrumbing? - Yes, sir.
[audience applauding]
Just for my information,
I've outgrown this age.
But if I ever get a chance, what will I say?
Will you have Delbis bread?
- Something like that? - No, sir.
That is what I remember.
No, sir. Gen Z's
come up with terms
that no one can decode easily.
You explained what breadcrumbing is. You mentioned a few more.
Yes, sir. There is ghosting. Ghosting means to ignore.
Let's say, you are my friend.
- Okay! - You sent me a text.
But I am continuously ignoring you.
[laughing]
No, I am not ignoring him.
I am giving an example.
- That's ghosting. - Yes, sir. Ghosting means to ignore.
- Yes. - Then comes situationship.
Situationship.
- Yes, sir. In this... - What does it mean?
You and I are in a relationship.
But we're not making it public.
We are not telling people that we are in a relationship.
Oh!
- The last one is benching. - Yes!
- Just like a bench... - Right!
The bench is this big.
You and I are sitting on it.
But there is another guy sitting next to me.
Abhishek Bachchan.
[audience applauding]
So, I am with you.
But Abhishek Bachchan is my backup plan.
Okay!
That is benching.
Tell me something.
Who is benching used on?
- Men or women? - For both genders.
It is used for both. You can do the same.
You can be with me and Mrs. Jaya.
[audience applauding]
- If you are in the middle... - Yes, sir.
- And on one side, for instance, is me. - Yes, sir.
- Your backup plan is Abhishek. - Yes, sir.
Who is my backup plan?
You should also try benching.
There is no place on the bench. It is too small.
[laughing]
Oh!
This generation confuses me.
How do you deal with this at home?
Her mom...
You look happy now.
The day there is benching...
You won't be smiling.
The bugle has sounded.
Let's see which citizen has asked today's question.
[song playing]
Hello, Mr. Amit.
My name is Gaurav Singhvi. I am from Jodhpur.
My question to you is,
In the Hangzhou Asian Games,
which equipment did Sift Kaur Samra use
to win the gold medal in shooting?
Here are your options.
Option A, Rifle.
Option B, Javelin.
Option C, Hammer.
Option D, Trampoline.
Your time starts now!
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
Your time is up. Let's see the answer.
Mr. Computer, tell us the winning voting unit number.
Eighty-eight! 88!
Is that you? Congratulations, sir.
[audience applauding]
Tell us the answer, sir.
- Rifle! A. - 'Narendra Panchal'
A, Rifle, is the correct answer.
Thank you.
There's a token for you.
[audience applauding]
All right, Ritika.
- Moving on to the game. - Sure.
- Up next is the seventh question and it is for Rs. 40,000. - Yes.
The seventh question appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Your options are as follows.
Sir, please lock Option C, Haryana.
She says C, Haryana. Please lock C.
It's the right answer. You win Rs. 40,000.
[audience applauding]
Mr. Nayab Singh Saini became
- the Chief Minister of Haryana in March 2024. - Yes.
All right, moving on to the eighth question.
The eighth question appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options.
[clock ticking]
Sir, please lock Option A, Terracotta.
She wishes to lock Option A. Please lock A!
[suspenseful music playing]
We were having such a lovely chat, ma'am,
and you went ahead and gave the right answer.
- Oh! - [audience applauding]
Terra means earth
- and cotta means baked. - Yes.
Terracotta is an Italian word.
Significant idols of the Goddess made of terracotta
were found in the Sindhu Ghat.
You were saying something.
As you are aware, sir, I'm a journalist.
I've prepared a set of questions for you.
Can I have your permission, please?
Sir, they are simple questions.
- It will be fun. - Of course!
All journalists say the same thing.
- Okay, since you... - I have a long list, sir.
Oh, God!
Good heavens!
Sir, here's my first question.
Kaun Banega Crorepati began in 2000.
You have worn so many suits in all the shoots until now.
Yes!
Sir, you are a celebrity and you have...
- Do I have to take this off? - No, sir!
[laughter]
No, let me explain.
It is difficult to understand the language of these journalists.
They will look somewhere else and aim elsewhere.
I'm looking at you and the question is also directed at you.
Go on.
Sir, you must have many suits by now.
How many suits do you have in total?
I don't get to keep this.
It belongs to the government.
[audience applauding]
After the game ends, they will take my clothes back.
I have nothing
barring a pair of pyjamas and a kurta!
Everything you see me wearing...
I've got it, sir. You've lost count.
- You have so many suits that you've lost count. - No!
[audience applauding]
- Right? - No...
All right!
- Next question. - Yes, sir.
Well, at times,
we call in sick
if we don't want to go to work or are not in the mood for it.
"I have a stomachache." And others.
Have you ever done this on the shoot?
No, never on the shoot.
Not even once, sir?
I am always in the mood to shoot.
Just as I am always ready to come here.
[audience applauding]
Sir, you are a celebrity and you must meet a lot of people.
You keep calling me a celebrity. I don't like it.
Sir, you are "the" Amitabh Bachchan.
There is no "the". It's just Amitabh.
- Sir, you're a human being. - Yes.
[laughter]
Human beings socialise. You must have met many people.
Has it ever happened
that you've spoken to someone for a while
and had no idea who they were?
Oftentimes,
when I go somewhere,
someone comes up to me to say hello.
And they greet me with a smile.
It will seem like we are acquaintances,
but I have no recollection of who they are.
So, I used to...
- Do you know Shashi Kapoor? - Yes.
He had this lovely habit which I picked up from him.
If someone came to greet him
and he thought he should find out his name,
he'd introduce himself.
"Hello, I'm Shashi Kapoor."
The other person would introduce themselves.
"Hi, how are you?" That's how he went about it.
Yes, sir.
A lot of people do the opposite.
Suppose someone comes to say hello and asks you,
"Sir, remember me?"
"Yes, do you remember me?"
"You do not, right?"
"How would you? This is our first meeting!"
[audience applauding]
They say it themselves.
These kind of things happen.
No more questions.
How sweet of you, Ritika. Thank you.
You have played very gracefully, Ritika.
Continue playing in the same manner.
The ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options. A...
I don't know if you follow sport... You don't!
I...
- What do you watch at home? - 'Saas Bahu Aur Saazish.'
I need the experience, sir.
I'll take Audience Poll.
You'll opt for Audience Poll. Okay. Please stop ticking.
Mr. Computer, she wishes to opt for Audience Poll.
Please activate it.

A, B and D have got 5%, 28% and 5%. What will it be?
- I'll go with the audience. - You will! All right.
- What do I do? - Please lock Option C, Harmanpreet Singh.
She wishes to lock C!
The audience's answer is right. Well played, audience.
[audience applauding]
He's a drag-flick specialist
scoring the majority of his goals from penalty corners.
He played over 200 matches for India
and won the bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics.
[audience applauding]
All right, Ritika.
Up next is the tenth question and the second threshold.
So, please don't take any chances
as you will get this opportunity only once.
All right.
The tenth question for Rs. 3,20,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
I am confused between two options.
Kashmiri, Bengali...
It isn't Bhojpuri.
It isn't Dakkhani either.
[clock ticking]
Sir, I'll take a lifeline.
Please stop ticking.
You are left with two, Video Call A Friend and Double Dip.
- Sir, Video Call A Friend. - Okay.
Please activate Video Call A Friend.
Okay!
These are the three names you provided.
There. Ms. Shivani Soni.
Mr. Sahil Kumar and Mr. Afzal Kamal.
- Who will it be? - Sir, Sahil Kumar.
Mr. Sahil Kumar. Okay.
Mr. Computer, please place a video call to Mr. Sahil Kumar.
[line trilling]
- Is he a friend? - Yes, sir.
Greetings, Mr. Kumar.
This is Amitabh Bachchan from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
- 'Long live India, sir.' - Long live India.
Mr. Sahil Kumar, with me on the hot seat is Ms. Ritika Kumari.
- And she needs your help with a question. - 'Okay, sir.'
- The next voice you hear will be Ritika's. - 'Yes, sir.'
She will read out a question to you and it will have four options.
Ritika, your time starts now.
'Um, Rehman Rathi?'
'Lock Kashmiri.'
Hmm, okay.
- I thought so too. - He said Kashmiri.
- What will you do? - Confirmed? 100%?
'What? Yes, 100%.'
All right.
What will you do?
Sir, please lock Option C, Kashmiri.
She wishes to lock Option C, Kashmiri.
Fantastic! This is the right answer!
Thank you! Thank you...
[audience applauding]
Rehman Rahi won the Jnanpith Award in 2004.
He was also awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award
and the Padma Shri
for some of his work Nawroz-i-Saba and Kalam-e-rahi.
Your friend answered correctly.
Ritika, you've won Rs. 3,20,000 and I'm sure you know what happens.
A cheque is coming your way. Give her a big hand.
- Yay! - [audience applauding]
[whooping]
A cheque for Rs. 3,20,000.
[audience applauding]
Ritika, you've won Rs. 3,20,000.
Will you give it to your family or spend it on yourself?
- No, sir. I will do something for my parents. - Oh, okay.
- We bought a new house in Delhi recently. - Okay.
I'll give some portion of it to Dad.
- From this. - I wish to contribute towards the home loan too.
Right, that's lovely. Okay.
If I have some amount left, I'll invest it in 24k gold.
It gives good returns, sir. It's a good investment.
She has done her research.
[audience applauding]
All right, Ritika. As you are aware,
after the tenth question comes the Super Sandook round.
Do you prefer the questions in Hindi or English?
- English. - English, okay.
Mr. Computer and our viewers, let's play Super Sandook!
[music playing]
Ritika, your time starts now!
[music playing]
- Karnataka. - Goa, Punjab, Karnataka...
- C. - Correct, next.
- B. - Shoulder, thigh...

Um, Formula 1.
Wrong, next.
[buzzer sounds]
Not bad.
You got five questions right.
You win Rs. 50,000.
[audience applauding]
Let me tell you the questions you got wrong.
- Tennis. - Oh!
Another one you got wrong was this.
This was so simple. Communication.
Next question.
- In Literature, not in Painting. - Literature.
She is an Indian-born American author and poet.
Another one you got wrong was this.
The Walrus.
Let me tell you the questions you passed.
It's Myanmar.
You got five questions right and you win Rs. 50,000.
Now,
you could transfer it to the bank or revive your exhausted lifeline.
- What will it be? - I'll revive Audience Poll, sir.
You wish to revive it, all right.
Mr. Computer, please revive Audience Poll!
Audience Poll.
[audience applauding]
Okay. With this, she has crossed an important threshold
as well as the Super Sandook round very tactfully.
All right. Focus on the game.
The eleventh question has the least risk, do attempt it.
The eleventh question for Rs. 6,40,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options, A...
KM.
- What did the 'KM' stand for in... - Acharya Kripalani.
1952.
[murmuring]
- General elections. - [murmuring]
There is no time constraint.
You have two lifelines. Audience Poll and Double Dip.
Karm Maryada... It isn't Kanya Mahila
I am leaning on Kolkata Marxist
because we got freedom in 1947.
The Bangladesh partition followed.
It was the general election.
Kolkata Marxist.
I am confused
between C and D.
Sir, I'll take a lifeline.
All right.
- Audience Poll. - Audience Poll and Double Dip.
- Audience Poll. - Audience Poll, okay.
Please activate Audience Poll. Mr. Computer.
Audience, your turn is here.
Your time starts now.
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
D got the majority of votes.
Sir, I'll go with the audience.
- You'll go with the audience. - Yes.
- 67% of the audience says D. - Kisan Mazdoor.
What do I do?
Sir, please lock Option D, Kisan Mazdoor.
She wishes to lock D.
- The audience's answer is right. - Thank you so much.
- Well played, audience. - Thank you so much.
[audience applauding]
Great, wow.
Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party is the full form of KMPP.
You've won Rs. 6,40,000. The next one's for Rs. 12,50,000.
- If you cross this, consider your loan repaid. - Yes.
- Right? - That's right.
The twelfth question for Rs. 12,50,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options, A...
You have one lifeline left. Double Dip.
If you think two of these options might be the right answer,
you may use the lifeline.
If it's right, you'll win Rs. 12,50,000
or you will fall to Rs. 3,20,000.
[murmuring]
It isn't Kuchipudi.
It isn't Kathikali either.
Neither A nor B.
Mohini... Bharatanatyam.
I think it should be D.
I can't quit...
Have you heard about the dances
- or seen them? - I've heard of them.
I think it should be D.
D, I think it's D.
But I'm not 100 per cent sure.
Travancore
is near Karnataka.
Kuchipudi,
Bharatanatyam, Tamil Nadu.
It's either D or C.
What's going on in your mind?
Sir, I think it's either C or D.
That's what is going on in my mind.
I want to take the help of Double Dip,
but if it's not either one of them, then I'll fall back to Rs 3,20,000.
My focus is on C or D.
- Okay. - Mohiniattam and Bharatanatyam.
I'm thinking if I should take the risk of not.
Should I take Double Dip?
It won't be Kathakali or Kuchipudi.
I have Double Dip, but the wrong answer will take me to Rs 3,20,000.
- Sir, I'll quit. - Will you quit?
Yes, I'll quit.
- Is that your final decision? - Yes, sir. - Okay.
We permit you to quit. You are winning Rs 6,40,000.
A big round of applause for her.
[audience applauding]
And we will digitally transfer Rs 6,40,000.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Here's your name and account number.

One, two, three, four.
I'll click Okay and Confirm.
Rs 6,40,000 has reached your account.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Via an easy, quick and safe process.
All right, Ritika.
Before we bid farewell to you, we have to answer this question.
- Please take a guess. - Sir, D, Bharatanatyam.
Please lock, D, Bharatanatyam.
This is the wrong answer. The right answer is
- Mohiniattam. - I was confused between C and D.
Mohiniattam flourished under
Swati Thirunal's rule.
And this was identified through many
of the love stories written by her.
The Travancore ruler also composed compositions
in various forms of Hindustani music.
This was the explanation.
Ritika, it was wonderful meeting and talking to you.
- Since you're a reporter, I fold my hands and take leave. - No, sir.
You have won Rs 6,40,000. Many congratulations to you.
A big hand for Ritika.

It's natural to feel emotional.

I'll get to my new job then.

No, no... Many congratulations to you.
There's a drop near your nose.
Yes, wipe that too.
Okay, that's enough.
Please continue the applause for Rakshinda. You can give me that.
[audience applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen, sitting before me on the Hot Seat is Rakshinda Alvi.
She's from Delhi.
Congratulations to you. Our best wishes are with you.
- Thank you, sir. - Whom have you brought as your companion?
Sir, my husband Anwar Alvi is with me.
Greetings and welcome to our show.
Thank you very much.
You took 14 years. Have you been trying since then?
Yes, sir.
- I didn't get much time until 2010, because my kids were young. - Yes.
I used to be very busy.
After that, I began watching your show
and after 2010 I have tried every year until 2024.
- You were watching the show. - But I never got selected.
What are you doing these days, Rakshinda?
Sir, I'm the Section Officer in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
- Oh, you're in the Home Ministry. - Yes, sir.
Are you working in Delhi at present?
Yes, sir. I've been posted in Delhi for the last 11 months.
Before that
- I was posted in Lucknow for a very long time. - Oh, Lucknow.
I belong to Lucknow.
You can say that Lucknow resides in each of my veins.
Was that the beginning?
No, sir, I started in Delhi
but after my marriage was fixed, I took a transfer to Lucknow.
- Oh, I see. All right. - Yes, sir.
Let me review the rules of the game.
You know them already. There's no need to repeat them.
Pay attention to the three lifelines.
The first lifeline is Audience Poll.
The second is Video Call A Friend.
- The third one is Double Dip. - Yes, sir.
- May I say something? - Yes.
Sir, I am from Lucknow
which is a city of great etiquette,
- refinement and elegance. - You're absolutely right.
And there has always been an atmosphere of poetry in our house.
- Wow. - I have written a few lines to introduce myself.
- If I have your permission, may I? - Of course, please go ahead.
'My name is Rakshinda.'
'I salute to every Indian from my heart.'
'By name, I'm a government employee'
'But I'm a very hard working person.'
'I may be older than 50'
'but it's lesser than 55.'
'The child in me is still alive and t is power in my intentions and courage
Wow.
'I'm from Lucknow, but I'm working in Delhi now.'
'I already have two homes, now I have to make a home in your heart.'
That's amazing.
[audience cheering and applauding]
AB! AB! AB!
Listen to my answer now.
'Rakshinda, poetry is your identity.'

Sir, I've forgotten half of what I had written after seeing you
because all of Ghalib's poetry is in front of me.
[audience cheering and applauding]
After listening to so much poetry from you,
I'm recalling a poem from one of my films.
'Sometimes I get this thought in my mind'
[audience cheering and applauding]
'If life could not be spent in the sh of your hair, then it would've been h
[audience cheering and applauding]
'This colour, the darkness of sorrow that has spread over my heart,'
'could have been lost in the glances of your gaze.'
'But it could not be so.'
'But this could not happen'
'and the situation is such that you are not there,'
'your sorrow is not there and so is your search'
'Life is going on as if'
'it does not hope for anyone's support'
'nor is there a way, destination or hint of light.'
'My life is wandering in the darkness.'
'I will continue to stay in this darkness'
'my companion, but sometimes I get this thought in my mind.'
[audience cheering and applauding]
It's time to have a cup of tea.
Please bring us some tea.

I would feel very good
about myself,
that I've taken something without any noticing. The items would be very sma
But the feeling that I had from within, said,
