All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati.
[music playing]

We will show you an image and then we will share the options.
Please show us the image.

[clock ticking]
Sir, please lock Image option C.
1/2 x base x height.
Please lock option C.
Gentleman, congratulations. That's the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Area equals 1/2 x base x height, the height here means,
altitude of the triangle.
You answered wonderfully.
I was wondering what the answer is.
It felt like a crab was walking.
- Sir... - The symbol of Pi.
Yes, sir.
Mathematics is a horrific subject.
- Sir, but Mathematics is fun. - Yes.
If you're giving the right answer, then it will be fun for you.

This is another image-based question.
You will be shown an image.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Did you see it? - Yes, sir.
I'll place the options before you.
Sir, please lock option D, Astronomical observation, because
this is situated in Jaipur
and there is a Sun Clock there.
As far as I know, it's inside Jantar Mantar.
It doesn't look like a water tank from any angle.
Nor does it look like a Military outpost or Common kitchen.
Please lock Astronomical observation.
Please lock option D.
That's the right answer. Congratulations to you.
[audience applauding]
You gave the right explanation.
In this structure called Jantar Mantar,
various instruments are used
to map the motion of astronomical bodies.
There is also a Jantar Mantar at other places like Delhi.
- Yes, sir. - And
they were constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh.
- It was built by Jai Singh. - Jai Singh II had built it.
Uh...
Ujjwal, may I ask who else is there in your family?
Sir, my family includes my father, mother
and my younger sister and grandma.
[mellow music playing]
My name is Ujjwal Prajapat.
I'm from Beawar, Rajasthan.
And I'm 22 years old.
My father works as a labourer.
[sombre music playing]
My mother is a housewife and alongside she also rolls 'Bidis'.
When I roll the 'Bidis',
I roll around 600-700 'Bidis' in a day.
I earn some money which helps with household expenses.
I've just started doing this work.
My father's income is very low.
But he also drinks alcohol.
The money that should have been saved,
is being spent by my father for drinking.
[sombre music playing]
We've also seen days
when we had to borrow money
and buy milk or other food items.
There would be no cooking gas in the house.
There was no way we could cook food at home.
And that's when we used to feel
that our world has ended.
I used to wonder why I was born. It would be better if I wasn't born.
[song playing]
Every father wants
that his son follows in his footsteps.
But I don't want my son to follow in my footsteps.
[song playing]
When my grandma found out that we have a loan of Rs 1,50,000,
whatever savings my grandma had,
she used all that money to repay the loan.
My grandma sells pots.
I've spent many difficult days in poverty, but I never let it bother me
I sell things on a hand cart.
I worked as a labourer and sometimes I worked as a cook.
But I never let them go hungry or thirsty.
I pray to God that
even if I have problems, my family should not face problems.
But I could never bear to see my family suffer.
[somber music playing]
The major issue in our life
is not that my dad doesn't earn well.
He spends all his money on alcohol.
That is the major issue.
There is tension in the house because of that.
And then...
All right!
I understand the situation you are facing at home.
This situation led us to secure loans
- during the COVID outbreak. - Yes.
If I win a good amount, I will pay off the loans.
So that we come to a point where we can start something new in life.
Yes!
That is why,
I want to play well.
I am certain you will.
Our best wishes are with you.
[audience applauding]
No matter what task someone takes on, it's never too small.
Also, your dad
is a labourer.
I am worried about his alcoholism.
- Yes, sir. That is the major issue. - Alcohol.
There are many places where
you can tackle the issue of alcoholism.
I hope
that you win a good amount
so that you can get him treated.
Labourers work really hard.
Lifting bricks...
He does drink alcohol,
but his body has become weak.
He is not in the state to work any more.
I hope you leave with a sufficient amount of money today
so that your dad
doesn't have to work as a labourer
- and may there be happiness in your house. - Yes, sir.
All right! A big hand for him.
[audience applauding]
All right, coming up is the ninth question.
It is for Rs. 1,60,000.
Get ready.
The ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000 appears on your screen.
Here are the options.
[clock ticking]
Pema Khandu! Arunachal Pradesh.
If you're having trouble with this,
- you have all three lifelines available. Use them. - Assam.
Pema Khandu. Arunachal Pradesh. Tripura.
- I want to use the lifeline, Audience Poll. - Okay.
Please stop ticking.
Mr. Computer, activate Audience Poll.
Audience, hold the voting meter.
Your time starts now.
[music playing]
The time is up.

62%. What would you like to do?
[clock ticking]
- Sir, lock B. - Lock B?
Lock B.
The audience gave the right answer. Lovely!
[audience applauding]
Let me inform our curious viewers
that after 2016,
Shri Pema Khandu is currently in his third term.
His father, Dorjee Khandu, also
served as the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh
from 2007 to 2011.
All right!
There is a warning here.
Don't take a chance at this opportunity.
Because it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This is for Rs. 3,20,000.
I understand how important this amount is for you.
Play with caution.
The tenth question for Rs. 3,20,000
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Here are your options.
Sir, it is not Karna or Dronacharya.
Dhritarashtra and Vidura...
I've watched Mahabharata.
Vidura takes a chariot or a horse,
but by then the House of Lacquer was turned to ash.
So, I am confused between Dhritarashtra and Vidura.
[clock ticking]
Sir, I want to use the lifeline Video Call A Friend.
Okay! Stop ticking.
He wants to use one more lifeline Video Call A Friend.
Please activate it.
Mr. Ujjwal, you gave us three names you want to talk to.
Here are the names.
Jaiprakash Sangela.
Swapnil Kothari. Virendra Jain.
Call Swapnil Kothari.
Swapnil Kothari, okay!
Mr. Computer, Video Call Swapnil Kothari.
[phone ringing]
Is he your friend?
He is a teacher.
Greetings, Mr. Swapnil Kothari.
I am Amitabh Bachchan from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Hello, sir. It's a pleasure talking to you.
Thank you so much, sir. Thank you.
Ujjwal is seated across from me.
- Ujjwal Prajapat. - Yes.
He needs your help with a question.
- Sir, I would like to say something to you. - Sure.
I like the dialogue from your film,
Agneepath. 'Kancha, you show the gun and then step back.'
Yes!
Why did you talk about the gun?
That is the symbol of courage.
Holding a weapon doesn't make you courageous.
- Yes... - I have put up a poster
of that dialogue in my library,
- Oh! - It has the dialogue,
'Kancha, you show the gun and then step back.'
Okay! I didn't know that.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
[audience applauding]
The thing is, most of the times
the scene is written.
Upon observing that scene and the opportunity presented,
we say what we feel.
We check with the director if we say it a certain way.
I apologise, sir.
But I made up that dialogue when this movie was being made.
Wow, sir! Nice!
The scene was such.
I thought that I should say this.
I didn't know this will reach a library someday.
[laughing]
- Yes! It holds a deep meaning. - All right.
All right, Swapnil.
He will read out the question.
Once he starts reading it,
the timer starts.
Ready? Ujjwal, your time starts now!
- Vidura! - Vidura?
- Vidura! - Are you 100% sure?
Yes, 100% sure.
[clock ticking]
What would you like to do, Ujjwal?
Sir, even I thought Vidura was the answer.
You did! All right!
Please option... Please lock Option D, Vidura.
He wishes to lock D, Mr. Computer.
Yes! It's the right answer. Well done!
Congratulations to you, Swapnil.
Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
Thank you, sir.
- Ujjwal! - Yes, sir.
You chose a nice teacher.
He is worthy!
You used the lifeline well.
Sir, I didn't want to take the risk.
If my answer was incorrect, I'd have come down to Rs. 10,000.
That is why I used the lifeline.
- I guessed Vidura. - You had thought of it.
All right!
Vidura, who favoured the Pandavas
aware of the plan to burn down the House of Lacquer.
Because of his foresight,
he sent help to the Pandavas.
Rs. 3,20,000! Applaud for him. A cheque is coming his way.
[audience applauding]
Congratulations to you.
[audience applauding]
You've reached a remarkable milestone.
You secured Rs. 3,20,000.
A lot of problems
in your life and your family can be resolved.
You said that your mom makes 'Beedi'.
And your grandma paints
earthen pots and makes them colourful.
"What is your income
from what your grandmother makes and what your mother does?
Mom makes around Rs. 60 from 'Beedi'.
[somber music playing]
She makes beedi from around 10 to 7.
She only makes Rs. 60.
Grandma paints the earthen pots.
We make ready-made earthen pots.
We resell them.
We make an earning if we get a customer,
otherwise we won't.
We sell lamps on Diwali.
- Yes! - We celebrate Diwali with that.
[somber music playing]
Around 20 days before Diwali,
we bring a huge bag.
- Okay. - We put everything in that.
When my brother was younger, he used to go with grandma.
Then I started going with her.
Grandma goes by herself now.
- We go to college. We are not at home. - Yes.
We come home during Diwali.
So, she takes it to the cart.
- Congratulations to you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
All of us, including the audience,
will look at you with pride.
[audience applauding]
I like the fact
that everything you are saying
doesn't come across as discouraging at all.
There is a smile on your face.
- Sir, always... - This is a good thing.
I think you were raised well.
That is because of grandma. She always
says we should keep smiling so we can spread happiness
to others as well.
Yes! That is great.
- Congratulations to you. - Yes, sir.
All right!

He will look after you, his dad
and himself. Okay?

I felt a sting in my heart when I heard that.
I totally get that it's completely normal to feel emotional.
But I don't like

Your grandson

Even if you give the wrong answer, you won't lose anything.

But I want you to secure a higher amount.
The eleventh question is for Rs. 6,40,000.
Appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Here are your options.
Sir, Udham Singh is not the answer.
Because he...
He went to France or Britain and shot
Reginald Dyer.
Ashfaqulla Khan was sentenced to death.
Khudiram Bose was also sentenced to death.
Surya Sen was also sentenced to death.
But Khudiram Bose was sentenced to death
at the age of 18.
So, lock Option A, Khudiram Bose.
His answer is Khudiram Bose after describing history.
Lock A.
It is the right answer.
Wow! Brilliant!
Congratulations to you, Mr. Ujjwal.
That was a beautiful guess.
You've secured Rs. 6,40,000.
Khudiram Bose, along with Prafulla Chaki,
threw bombs on the vehicle
they suspected that Kingsford was in.
But there were others in it.
I think it was a British official's wife and daughter in it.
I didn't know that.
No sir. I am not sure.
I don't understand or prefer talking about wives.
I will tell you!
But there were others who were killed.
Khudiram Bose was sentenced to death, in 1908.
I don't know who was in that vehicle.
Do you know?
Sir, I guessed. I don't know if it's right or wrong.
Mr. Computer says...
- Is it incorrect? - You are right.
That is impressive. Wow!
You are a brilliant player.
You say what is not asked.
Congratulations to you, Mr. Ujjwal.
All right! You said you are a student.
What are you pursuing?
Sir, this year, I pursued my master's in Hindi literature.
I am currently preparing for the civil service exam.
I made my first attempt in June.
But I failed in mathematics.
- You know, CSAT? - Yes.
I failed that exam.
You should keep trying. It's fine.
So, sir... It's good I didn't clear it. That's why I am here.
I played Play Along after that.
- Oh! - I got selected here.
And I am on the hot seat on the first day.
Congratulations to you, Ujjwal. All right.
Sir, I want to say a couple of lines.
You will find your way, even if you're lost.
- You will find your way, even if you're lost. - Even if you're lost.
The ones who haven't dared to leave their home are truly lost.
Oh!
[audience applauding]
Lovely!
So, sir. I am here on this platform.
I could make it here today
because of the efforts of our family's lioness.
She's the family's anchor.
Every time a need arose,
she was always the first to help.
That lioness is behind...
It is said
- that behind every successful man, there is a woman. - Yes.
My grandma, who is sitting right behind me,
- is behind my success. - Lovely!
[audience applauding]
We cousins have a group.
My paternal uncle has two sons.
She is here and she has a sister too.
They've been there for me whenever I've needed them.
After the pandemic, we were in a bad place financially.
They have borne all my expenses.
Paying the library fees, buying books...
The material for the UPSC exam costs a lot.
If I needed money, I would phone them up once.
"I need x amount of money."
And they'd immediately transfer it to me.
"If you need money for studies, we'll give it to you immediately."
- Wow. - [audience applauding]
Your story is truly inspiring.
You're here owing to that motivation and your grandma's blessing
and are playing so gracefully.
Many of the questions were difficult but you answered them correctly.
May you educate yourself further and do well.
And may you achieve your goal.
Yes, sir.
Let me tell you something.
'A person leaves his home to go to the tavern.'
'The innocent man knows not what path he must take.'
'He is guided on to different paths by others.'
'but I tell him,'
"Tread just one path and you shall reach the tavern."
[audience applauding]
Sir, tread one path religiously and you will achieve your goals.
Yes, sir.
Sir, I wish to ask you one question.
Sir, did you also experience a downfall in life?
And if yes, how did you overcome it?
- I experience it daily, sir. - Daily!
[cheering]
Those people who ride horses
often suffer a fall.
It is a belief
that if you fall while riding a horse,
then you should get back up on it immediately.
That gives you the power to keep moving on.
A lot of people stay where they are if they fall, they don't get up.
No, get back up on the horse.
[audience applauding]
Life will throw many difficulties your way.
There isn't a single person who hasn't faced problems
or difficulties in their life.
Just treading one path will take one to their destination.
- Yes, sir. - Follow one path.
- You will achieve success one day. - Yes, sir.
One must strive just as you did today.
You've won Rs. 6,40,000.
Lovely, congratulations.
You and your family might be living ordinary lives now,
but not henceforth, sir.
And all the people who are watching you...
Everyone knows now.
They will be proud of you and your family,
I can say that with certainty.
- Many congratulations. - Thank you.
Just keep smiling as you are, okay?
All right. Moving on to the twelfth question
which is for Rs. 12,50,000.
You have two important lifelines left.
- Okay? - Yes, sir.
The twelfth question Rs. 12,50,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options, A...
Sir!
Yashpal's novel...
What is its name?
The book or novel about a woman who strives to be...
- It's the story of a woman striving to be independent. - Sir!
Divya!
Sir, please lock Option C, Divya.
Sure? Should I lock it?
He wishes to lock C, Divya.
Outstanding! It's the right answer!
Lovely!
Congratulations.
[audience applauding]
You've won Rs. 12,50,000.
That was a difficult question.
Other than religious ideologies,
the book also talks about the position of women in society.
It's a story about a woman called Divya and her struggles
as far as I know.
How Divya fights against society and her family
and does what she desires in the end.
- She puts up with society's taunts. - Yes.
In the end, Divya rejects the love
of the man who could not support her when she needed it.
She rejects that love in the end
and finally, chooses the person
with whom she can share her feelings freely.
Wow, lovely.
You don't need Mr. Computer.
You're loaded with knowledge.
Very few contestants
can share more knowledge than Mr. Computer.
Yes!
Sir, the book Divya resonates with my grandma.
- Yes, I was about to say that. - That's why.
Lovely.
[audience applauding]
Your grandma was there in everyone's hour of need.
[sentimental music playing]
Sir, just as that woman become free in the end,
similarly, my grandma is free too. She need not worry.
Wow! That's wonderful.
[audience applauding]
- Let's move on then. - Yes, sir.
The thirteenth question is next
and it is for Rs. 25,00,000.
You still have two lifelines. Video Call A Friend and Double Dip.
The thirteenth question for Rs. 25,00,000
appears on your screen now, Ujjwal.
[music playing]
You have two lifelines and there is no time constraint.
Take your time to think and answer.
Sir, I don't know which stupa it was
but I do know that Lord Buddha...
He died in Malla.
The king of Malla cremated him.
Kushinagar, the capital of Malla, is in the options.
I have never heard of Ramabhar stupa though.
I do know that Buddha...
That Lord Buddha was cremated.
Kesariya stupa, East Champaran.
I don't think it is Kesariya stupa.
Sanchi stupa, Raisen.
Buddha's remains are in the Sanchi stupa.
Dhamek stupa, Sarnath.
The question is for Rs. 25,00,000.
If I win, I'll get Rs. 25,00,000.
If I lose, then Rs. 3,20,000.
If I quit, then Rs. 12,50,000.
You have two lifelines.
I have two lifelines. I'll take them home.
I took a risk earlier with Vidur.
This time, it'll be for Kushinagar
but the level is quite high.
What do you wish to do?
If I take Double Dip,
then I can't quit.
If I take Video Call A Friend,
I can't be sure that they will know the answer.
Rs. 12,50,000!
Rs. 25,00,000...
Sir, I want to use
the Video Call A Friend lifeline.
I don't wish to take a risk.
Okay.
He finally decides to take Video Call A Friend.
Please activate it.
Who will it be out of the three names?
The same person you spoke to last time?
- Jaiprakash... - Sir, please call Mr. Swapnil Kothari.
- Swapnil. All right. - Yes.
Place a video call to Mr. Swapnil Kothari.
[line trilling]
Greetings once again, Swapnil.
- Greetings. - 'Greetings. It's my good fortune.'
Ujjwal needs your help with another question.
- 'Sure.' - You'll get 45 seconds to answer.
Ujjwal will read out the question now.
Ujjwal, your time starts now.
Which stupa marks the site
where Lord Buddha was cremated?
The stupa where Lord Buddha was cremated.
Kesariya stupa, East Champaran.
Ramabhar stupa, Kushinagar.
Sanchi stupa, Raisen.
Dhamek stupa, Sarnath.
[clock ticking]
'Kushinagar... Repeat the options quickly.'
Kesariya stupa, East Champaran, which is in Bihar.
Ramabhar stupa, Kushinagar.
Sanchi stupa, Raisen, MP.
Dhamek stupa, Sarnath.
- 'I think...' - I think the king of Malla...
King Sastipal Malla performed his last rites.
'Kushi... Kushinagar.'
- I am right? - 'Kushinagar.'
- It was King Sastipal Malla, right? - 'Kushinagar, yes.'
'Yes. I also think it is Kushinagar.'
'I'm not 100% sure, but 70 to 80% sure.'
What do you wish to do?
You were leaning on that too.
Sir, please lock Option B, Ramabhar stupa, Kushinagar.
He wishes to lock B.
[suspenseful music playing]
How well do you trust him?
Sir, I trust him enough to listen to him.
- Wrong... - He said 70 to 80% just as he was leaving.
[vocalisation]
[gripping music playing]
Sir, Buddha's final in Kushinagar...
Buddha spent his last days with King Sastipal Malla.
If you say it with such conviction, it must be true!
- [audience cheering and applauding] - Well played!
Fantastic!
-Well played, sir. -Thank you, sir! Thank you.
'Thank you.'
- 'Thank you...' - That was fantastic, wow!
It's what you were leaning on.
- Sir, it happened twice. - Yes!
And even though you knew, you took a lifeline.
Sir, it asked about cremation.
Sarnath...
The main stupa in Sanchi
also holds Lord Buddha's ashes.
Okay. Congratulations. You win Rs. 25,00,000.
Wow.
All right, sir.
The fourteenth question for Rs. 50,00,000 is next.
The fourteenth question for Rs. 50,00,000,
Ujjwal, appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
[exhales]
Options.
[pensive music playing]
Which amendment of the Constitution of India provides
for one-third seat reservation for women in village administration?
Sir, the 101st Amendment is the latest.
I don't think that's the one.
I have no idea about the 40th and 15th amendments.
The 73rd Constitution Amendment
gives rights to gram panchayats.
And the village administration is in question here.
The risk... From Rs. 50,00,000 to Rs. 3,20,000.
Rs. 47,00,000.
From Rs. 25,00,000 to Rs. 3,20,000...
[pensive music playing]
A minimum of one-third reservation of seats.
If gram panchayats were given rights in the 73rd Constitution Amendment,
how could there be an amendment before that in the 40th and 15th?
It would have served no purpose as gram panchayats had no rights.
If I use Double Dip,
I'll have to take a risk.
From Rs. 25,00,000 to Rs. 3,20,000...
The 73rd Constitution Amendment.
Rs. 25,00,000 means a lot to me, sir.
If I lose this...
I could repay my loan, buy myself a new car...
Ah!
Get my sister married off.
Rs. 25,00,000 could guarantee these three things.
However, if I lose it...
Sir, the 73rd Constitution Amendment gives rights to gram panchayats.
The 72nd Constitutional Amendment
gives rights to the urban local body.
I am 100% sure it isn't the 101st amendment.
As far as I think, the 101st amendment
was in regard to the GST council.
How can 40th and 15th apply...
How can they grant reservations if there were no gram panchayats?
Sir, please lock Option C, the 73rd Constitution Amendment.
He says Option C. Lock it.
[heart beating]
'The problem isn't that my father makes less money,'
'but that he spends whatever he earns on alcohol.'
'So, my mother makes 'beedis'.'
'The income of both my parents'
'is barely enough to put food on the table.'
'If I win a handsome amount, I'll repay the loan first'
'so that we can get to a level where we can start anew.'
[suspenseful music playing]
- You've won Rs. 50,00,000! - Yes!
Bravo!
[audience applauding]
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Well played.
[buoyant song playing]
Well played.
[audience applauding]
- Congratulations. - Thank you, sir. Thank you.
You possess immense knowledge.
The audience bows to you
in obeisance.
Please sit.
[audience applauding]
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment
was introduced with Article 243 in 1992.
The number of women in the local government increased
post this amendment.
You have so much knowledge about this.
I am amazed.
Irrespective of where you gained your knowledge,
I congratulate you, Ujjwal.
- Sir, can I say something? - Truly. Let me tell you something.
It is very rare
for the audience to give a standing ovation
unless one plays exemplarily.
[audience applauding]
And...
[audience applauding]
Greetings, Grandma.
[laughter]
If he gets the answer to the next question right,
then he will win Rs. 1 crore.
May your blessings be with him.
- Ujjwal, listen. - Yes, sir.
In the event you win Rs. 1 crore,
what will you do?
Sir, as I mentioned earlier, we'll pay our loan off.
That's the biggest problem.
The loan is not the problem...
One's state of mind
- and what one mentally goes through is the biggest problem. - Yes.
You spend every moment thinking about your debt
and your father's debt.
My father won't have to worry any more, sir.
- I am sure about that. - You're right.
My grandma can also comfortably sit at home.
It's my time to earn now.
Wow, very nice.
[audience applauding]
All right.
Up next is the fifteenth question
and it is for Rs. 1 crore.
The fifteenth question for Rs. 1 crore
appears on your screen now.
[hooter sounds]
Whoops!
The game has ended.
Mr. Computer is very mischievous.
Extremely, sir.
I'm already scared and it is scaring me further.
It scared you further.
Ujjwal, believe me, your game was outstanding.
We will continue the game with you further,
but today's game comes to an end because the hooter has sounded.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
meeting the contestants and witnessing their mettle
proves one thing.
Be it a game or life,
if a person is determined,
he can even move mountains.
Challenges can be overcome.
On that note, we bid you adieu.
See you tomorrow in the game with Ujjwal
where his first question will be for Rs. 1 crore.
Thank you very much. Wish you a good night. Thank you.
Well done, Ujjwal. Wow!
Be seated.
[audience applauding]
Thank you... Grandma, please be seated.
Thank you very much.
Thank you...
[audience applauding]
Thank you so much, audience. Thanks a lot.
You too, thank you so much.
