All right, ladies and gentlemen
yesterday
as we came to the end of the game
the atmosphere here had become very poetic.
Because Rakshinda Alvi from Lucknow
who has a poetic style, was with us on the Hot Seat here.
As soon as she came, poetry got dissolved into the air.
And I also breathed in some of that poetic air.
We would like to continue
the poetic style today, and we'd like to invite her back.
Please welcome her with a big round of applause.
Rakshinda.
[audience applauding]
Please come.
You will have to go roundabout.
[audience applauding] [theme music playing]
Are you okay?
[audience cheering and applauding]
Your husband was looking
at how I was holding your hand.
- I apologise. - No, sir. Nothing like that.
[laughing]
Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, her husband is here as her companion.
Syed Mohammed Anwar Ali, that's his name.
Welcome to our show.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to welcome
Rakshinda, who has joined our KBC gathering,
once again to our show. A big round of applause for her.
[audience applauding]
Yesterday, all the twinkling and colourful bulbs that are here,
were twinkling like fireflies
to each word of her poetry.
The same poetry has woken up the poetic style inside me.
Rakshinda, today
if you allow me,
- Of course, sir. - I would like to share the thoughts of my heart.
My poetry is not as fine as yours.
- Sir, every word that you speak - But...
- is wonderful, sir. - There's no need for all that.
So, I present...
- Please go on. - I present,
'Sometimes I get this thought in my mind.'
This is not the one you heard yesterday.
'Sometimes I get this thought in my mind.'
'That nothing in life is a coincidence.'
'If not for this KBC platform, what would be there?'
Wow...
- 'How would we meet, how would we share our thoughts?' - Yes, sir.
'How would we have tea together, how would we know this?'
'With a wonderful personality and a cheerful disposition'
'Rakshinda Alvi has a unique style'

Sir, either you will have to come here or I will come there.

How did you learn this
beautiful poetry?
I have not studied for it per se.
I had learnt Urdu while studying, just as a passion.
- Okay. - My mother was educated in a Madarsa.
- Oh. - She knew only Urdu and Arabic. - Yes.
I remember
when I gave my first entrance exam, I failed in that.
I came home and I was very sad.
My mother said, 'You worked really hard'
'I've seen that you've studied all night.'
'Why are you so sad? You'll get another chance.'
But I was still upset. That's when she recited a poem for me.
She told me that I should always remember this poem
as it will come in handy all my life.
My mother recited,
'I had prayed in the mosque'
- 'I had prayed in the mosque' - 'I had prayed in the mosque'
'that may I get the one whom I love.'
'I fulfilled my duty.'
'What can I do if the Almighty forgot?'
Oh, wow.
[audience applauding]
Very beautiful.
- Words of wisdom by our elders are very enlightening. - Yes, sir.
My father also... You may have heard it many times.
- 'If it's as per your wish, it's goo if not, it's even better.' - It's bet
- I couldn't understand at first. - Because it's God's wish.
How can it be better? Then he explained it.
If it's not as per your wish, then it is as per God's wish.
And He will always want the best for you.
There were many instances like this.
All right.
Let's move ahead, Rakshinda.

[music playing]
Sir, it's not Kuru. It is Kauravas' territory.
Avanti was in India.
In ancient India...
Asmaka and Gandhara are in present-day Afghanistan.
I think the answer is D.
But Asmaka...
Asmaka.
[mumbling]
Sir, I want to use Double Dip.
- Double Dip? - Yes, sir.
Are you sure?
- Sir... - You are confused between two options.
I have a strong feeling

She wishes to activate Double Dip. Please activate it, Mr. Computer.
Mrs. Rakshinda, you will get two chances
to answer.

If you had played, this would have been the right answer.

Sir, 'VEM'.
Venus is located on the left side of Earth,
while Mars is positioned on the right side.
So...
See the Sun rise in the west and set in the east.
It is not Saturn.
The answer is not Mercury either.
The right answer
is either Venus or Mars.
Sun, Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars.
It is a difficult question, sir.
I want to use a lifeline.
- Lifeline? All right! - Yes, sir.
Mrs. Rakshinda wants to use the last lifeline, Mr. Computer.

It's already your turn again.
Your time starts now!
[music playing]
A, Venus has the maximum number of votes. 57%.
Sir, I want to go with the audience.
Do you wish to go with them? All right!
Lock A, Venus.
I was looking at you when you were thinking.
You were counting the positions.
And you thought the answer was Venus.
Did the audience say Venus because that is what she wanted to choose?
But what you said was right.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Congratulations to you, Mrs. Rakshinda.
Thank you!
You secured Rs. 12,50,000.
Venus rotates in the opposite direction
compared to other planets.
The interesting thing is that a single day on the planet
is longer than a Venusian year.
Sir, my mind was saying Venus, but my heart wasn't allowing it.
All right, Mrs. Rakshinda.
Who else is there in your family?
- Sir, I have two daughters. - Okay.
My eldest daughter is pursuing a Master's degree
in Counselling Psychology

My younger daughter is studying at an Ivy League university in the US,

She is pursuing a BA in Computer Science.
Wow!
[audience applauding]
That is brilliant.
When I got married...
In middle-class Muslim families,
women are not allowed
- to pursue higher education. - Yes.
My mom often reminded me to foster independence in my daughters.
Before they get married, they should fend for themselves.
My mom always insisted that
we won't get them married
- against their will. - Lovely!
I learnt from her that
we should provide education to our daughters first.
When they come to us and tell us they want to settle down,
- only then should we get them married. - Well said.
[audience applauding]
Let me tell you,
when you speak like this, you're providing a powerful example.
It motivates everyone who is watching this show.
For all the parents and their daughters sitting here,
this is incredibly uplifting.

Ah...
I have only read about Alauddin Khalji's
military campaigns.
Sir, the answer should be C, Muhammad Bin Tuglaq.
Alauddin Khalji.
Alauddin Khalji isn't the answer.
Shah Jahan is definitely not the answer.
It's not Ibrahim Lodi.

[audience applauding]
Sir, I've been watching this show for many years.
I've noticed
that the contestants come here and praise you.
You either look away
or you look at the contestants with a questioning look.
Sir, I've written something on that too.
[audience laughing]
- Okay! - Sir!
I complimented you, and you seemed a bit shy about it.
- I am absolutely blushing. - Yes, sir.
I've written,
The way you react to compliments,
sometimes by looking away
or blushing like a newlywed bride.
As a reward for praising you,
contestants often experience this.
You increase their heartbeats
by making the next question a bit more difficult.
[audience laughing and applauding]
Sir, I didn't compliment you.
I complimented a superstar of this era.
- Dear Lord! - Because...
[audience applauding]
Coming up is the fourteenth question for Rs. 50,00,000.
Don't accuse me of averting my gaze.
- Because you have to play this game. - No, sir.

Sir, many of the contestants come here with a dream.

for their future.
What about you, Anish?
Sir, as per my current condition,
my father works in a tobacco factory.
- Oh. - My mom's a housewife.
Back in 2007,
we didn't own a house.
We lived on rent.
Dad wanted to buy a small home that didn't cost a lot.
So, sir, we bought a piece of land,
built a house and started living there.
Sir, a home is supposed to bring one peace of mind.
It is a place where you can sleep peacefully.
That wasn't the case with us.
A 33,000-volt transmission line runs above our house.
What!
- 33,000 volts! - Yes, right.
- You mean an overhead power line. - Yes, a power line.
God forbid, if it ever fell on us,
- death is inevitable. - Yes.
We live in fear every day.
If it rains heavily or a storm hits,
we fear the power line might snap and land on us.
Sir, my parents sent me to a hostel
so I could be away from this.
I have certain duties as the eldest son of the family.
I got a job recently,
but it will take a long time to save that kind of money.
If I win a good amount of money here,
the first thing I will do is buy them a new house
- minus the risk. - Yes.
I come on KBC with this dream, sir.
Oh, gosh.
[audience applauding]
I hope you win a good amount from here
and build a safe house.

Shakti, this is a mythology question.
Who killed Ilvala and Vatapi?
According to the Ramayana, who killed Ilvala and Vatapi?
Vishwamitra, Agastya, Vasistha, Durvasa.
Who killed Ilvala and Vatapi?
'I have no idea.'
- 'Agastya, Durvasa, Vasistha, Vishwamitra...' - Durvasa.
- Any idea. - 'Sorry, brother.'
- Huh? - 'I...'
- Who killed Ilvala and Vatapi? - 'Vishwamitra...'
Vishwamitra?
'I can't say as I don't have an idea.'
[buzzer sounds]
'I'm not sure.'
He ran out of time, Anish.
The clock is ticking. What will you do?
[clock ticking]
What's on your mind?
Sir, my mythology is a bit weak.
So... [clicks tongue]
You have one lifeline left. You can quit if you want.
You've won Rs. 1,60,000.
- I will quit, sir. - You'll quit! Okay.
Mr. Computer, Anish has decided to quit.
He doesn't wish to play further.
You've won Rs. 1,60,000. Give him a big hand.
[audience applauding]
Your name and account number appear here.
I press "Transfer Now" and enter 1,60,000.
The prize money has reached your bank account
in a quick, easy and safe manner.
Anish, we have to give out the answer.
Guess one.
Sir, Rishi Vasistha.
Rishi Vasistha. Lock C.
This is wrong.
The right answer is Rishi Agastya.
The legend goes that
these asura brothers killed people by deception.
Vatapi would turn into a goat
and Ilvala would cook his meat and serve it to the targets.
He'd then call out to Vatapi
and the asura would promptly emerge from the man's stomach killing him.
When the brothers attempted this with Rishi Agastya,
the sage had already digested Vatapi
and cursed Ilvala leading to his death.
This was the right answer. Okay.
A big round of applause for him once again before he leaves.
Thank you so much, Anish, for being with us.
Congratulations.
