[temple bell rings]
'I'm afraid what the Rs. 1 crore question will be.'

[theme music playing]
[audience applauding]
Hey!
Welcome.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Greetings, hello and thank you!
This is Amitabh Bachchan greeting and welcoming you
to another knowledgeable, rewarding and grand episode
of Kaun Banega Crorepati India Challenger Week!
[audience applauding]
- Thank you very much, everyone. - [audience cheering and applauding]
Okay, that's enough!
That's enough, please.
Please sit.
Sit.
Ladies and gentlemen, knowledge and wealth
are the two ends of a thread
that encompass your whole life.
It's true that there is no limit to the knowledge one can attain.
And it is also true
that there is no limit to the wealth one can attain
through that knowledge.
Knowledge is not dictated by age, religion or class.
The wealth attained through knowledge is the same for everyone.
The more knowledge you gain,
the more wealth you shall accumulate.
And we witnessed that in the game of yesterday's contestant Ujjwal,
who sits before me right now.
[audience applauding]
I wish to tell you that yesterday,
he won a prize money of Rs. 50,00,000.
[audience applauding]
And that proves
that the wealth attained through one's knowledge
can not only fulfil one's dreams
but also give rise
to self-confidence, self-respect
and self-reliance in oneself.
Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me immense joy to say
that the first question of today's game
will be for Rs. 1 crore.
[audience applauding]
Ujjwal, a warm welcome once again.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to tell you
that his life was full of hardships.
[poignant music playing]
'The problem isn't that my father makes less money,'
'but that he spends whatever he earns on alcohol.'
'So, my mother makes 'beedis'.'
'My grandma makes earthen pots, sir.'
'We mainly sell earthen lamps on Diwali, sir.'
'That's how we celebrate Diwali.'
'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.'
'So, I will play well, sir.'
'Lock Option A, sir.'
'It's the right answer!'
[audience applauding]
'That was outstanding! It's the right answer!'
'It must be correct!'
'Well played!'
[audience applauding]
'Sir, please lock Option C, the 73rd Constitution Amendment.'
[heart beating]
- 'You've won Rs. 50,00,000! - Yes!'
'Bravo!'
'Thank you, sir. Thank you.'
'That's enough, son.'
- [buoyant vocalisation] - [audience applauding]
'He's freed me of my responsibilities now.'
- [sentimental music playing] - [audience applauding]
I have a request, sir.
- Sure. - Before today's game begins,
I wish to seek Grandma's blessings.
Certainly.
- [audience applauding] - [sentimental music playing]
- Give me your blessing. - Keep your composure, son.
'Yes.'
- [audience applauding] - [sentimental music playing]
The fact that he sought her blessing
only goes to show the respect and love
he has for his grandmother
and how proud Grandma is today.
- Welcome once again, Grandma. - 'Norati Prajapat, Ujjwal's Grandma'
Ujjwal's sister is here. Welcome to the show.
And we welcome your brother-in-law, too.
[audience applauding]
Sir, when I got selected,
I didn't think I would make it here or win Rs. 50,00,000.
- It was just the loan. - Yes.
- We would start afresh after we paid the loan off. - Yes.
I was fortunate to have made it this far.
It's nothing short of magical for me.
A few people wish to talk to you.
I want to place a video call to them.
Please place the video call, Mr. Computer.
[line trilling]
That's his mother and sister.
- Greetings! - 'Greetings, Mr. Bachchan.'
Ujjwal is here with me.
- 'Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.'
'Hi.'
- That's my younger sister and my mother. - Okay.
When we would play KBC Play Along, my sister would always encourage me.
"You possess immense knowledge. When will you be on KBC?"
- "Our problems will end." - Yes.
- Today... - 'I'd ask him when he'd be on the hot seat'
'and here he is today!'
Let me tell you that your son
- has won Rs. 50,00,000. - 'Yes, sir.'
- 'Hurrah!' - [audience applauding]
'This is great news, sir. We are overjoyed!'
And today's game shall begin
with the question for Rs. 1 crore.
- May your blessings and prayers be with him... - 'Yes, sir.'
So that he can win Rs. 1 crore.
- Okay? - 'Sir...'
'May everyone bless him including you, sir.'
All right.
[audience applauding]
Sir, before I present the question for Rs. 1 crore,
let me tell you that
you are two questions away from the Rs. 7-crore question,
which is the last question of the game. All right.
All right, ladies and gentlemen. A big round of applause.
Let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[audience applauding]
All right, sir.
Forget about everything.
Eyes on your computer screen.
[heart pounding]
Coming up is the fifteenth question and it is for Rs. 1 crore.
Once the question is presented, there could be a few possibilities.
Either you know the answer and you attempt the question.
If it's right, you'll win Rs. 1 crore.
If you play and the answer is wrong, you'll fall to Rs. 3,20,000.
You have a lifeline called Double Dip.
Once you activate Double Dip, then you cannot quit.
- Okay? - Yes, sir.
All right!
'If his future is secured, he can make our lives better.'
Mr. Ujjwal Prajapat, the fifteenth question...
'Will I be able to answer the question for Rs. 1 crore?'
For Rs. 1 crore...
'Will I be the first millionaire of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16?'
Appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options. A...
The year in question is 1919
after the World War I.
Treaty of Versailles.
Appearing for India, which ruler of a princely state
became a signatory of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919
after World War I?
[pensive music playing]
Sir, I think it is Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.
Nawab Hamidullah Khan.
Mir Osman Ali...
If I take the risk, I'll directly slide to Rs. 3,20,000.
[pensive music playing]
I... Nizam Hamidullah...
I've read about Nizam Mir Osman Ali and Nawab Hamidullah Khan
but I don't remember where.
Yes, okay.
[pensive music playing]
Sir, taking a risk is being greedy in a way.
The following will be true then.
'This world is a magical toy.'
'What you have, you consider to be dirt.'
'And what you don't to be gold.'
- Lovely. - In a bid to get gold, I don't want to fall to the dirt.
That's right.
Which ruler of a princely state
became a signatory
of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 after World War I?
- You study History, right? - Yes, sir.
- History is my favourite subject... - And...
You could try and guess if you want the right answer.
- Versailles... - Deliberate.
I can't recollect about the Treaty of Versailles.
It happened in 1919 in Versailles, France.
Who went there?
Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.
Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan...
Double Dip is...
I can choose two options.
If I do, I'll be left with Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II
and Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan.
Maharaja Ganga Singh.
Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.
Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan.
Nawab Hamidullah Khan.
Maharaja Ganga Singh.
I know nothing about Maharaja Ganga Singh.
This option is alien to me.
What if Double Dip gives me this and it is also the right answer?
What's on your mind?
Sir, the options are familiar.
Okay.
But making it to the top and falling to Rs. 3,20,000...
- I don't think it'd be the right decision. - That's true.
If you don't wish to play further, you may quit.
You have won Rs. 50,00,000.
We know the importance Rs. 50,00,000 holds in your life.
Rs. 3,20,000... Rs. 50,00,000.
History is your favourite subject.
Have you ever read about it?
I think it is Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II
as far as...
Nawab Hamidullah Khan.
I've read about these three,
but I still don't recollect who Maharaja Ganga Singh was.
If I knew about him, I could have eliminated the options.
Option A, Option C...
'We've seen days when we had to get food on credit.'
'It made us wonder that it'd have been better'
'had we not come into this world.'
'Kaun Banega Crorepati is like a golden ladder to me.'
'Which if I were to climb,'
'I could reach a place that could help me start afresh.'
I have three options
but Double Dip will only let me choose two.
[inhales sharply]
Should I take the risk or not?
I will quit, sir.
Quit. Is it your final decision to quit?
Sir, I am caught between A and C.
- I will quit, sir. - Okay.
Rs. 50,00,000 is a lot.
Ujjwal has made his final decision.
We allow you to quit.
Ladies and gentlemen, he has won Rs. 50,00,000.
[audience applauding]
You played beautifully, sir.
Your account number appears here. I press "Transfer Now".
I enter the amount now. That's six zeroes in total.
All right?
I hit "Okay" followed by "Confirm".
Rs. 50,00,000 has reached your bank account.
[audience applauding]
In a quick, easy and safe manner.
[audience applauding]
We need to give out the answer, sir. Guess one.
Option A, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.
He says Option A, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.
Lock it.
You dodged a bullet, sir. This is the wrong answer.
The right answer is Maharaja Ganga Singh.
[audience applauding]
I am happier now, sir.
Because you dodged a bullet.
Like I said, about Maharaja Ganga Singh,
as far as I know I do not know anything.
[all laugh]
I was considering the other three options
and Maharaja Ganga Singh was lying in a corner.
[laughter]
- It was a good decision. - Maharaja Ganga Singh
was the ruler of Bikaner.
And during World War I,
he was the only non-white member
of the British Imperial War Cabinet.
He and Montagu signed the Treaty of Versailles for India.
Maharaja Ganga Singh.
All right.
Congratulations, Mr. Ujjwal Prajapat.
[audience applauding]
Whoa! All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, Ujjwal won Rs. 50,00,000.
He played exceptionally well.
It's time for the Fastest Finger First round.
All right, challengers.
This chance is of great significance.
So, please answer carefully. Okay?

TG Montgomerie
named it K2 in 1856

it was renamed Mount Godwin-Austen.
- Mount Godwin-Austen. - It was named Godwin-Austen.
K2. Okay!
what are you doing nowadays? You are studying.
Sir, I am pursuing my master's in economics.
As I mentioned earlier, I had challenged myself.
I challenged myself
that I will be on the hot seat someday.
And I am on the hot seat.
I have faced many challenges in my life.
When I was born, there was a blockage in my intestine.
Due to which, the doctors
had to perform my first surgery on the second day.
I have undergone a total of seven surgeries.
[somber music playing]
Every parent is happy when their first child arrives.
We were also delighted
when he was born.
But when we realised that he was unwell,
we were all worried.
Since then, we started to frequent hospitals.
[tense music playing]
He underwent surgery when he was born.
He was crying a lot.
Then gradually,
it felt like
the doctors had given a solution to his ailment.
They assured us that he will be fine eventually.
After each surgery, we held onto the hope
that he had fully recovered this time around.
My first three surgeries were unsuccessful.
The high dosage of antibiotics
caused some problems with my kidneys as well.
To save my kidney,
I underwent three additional surgeries.
We tried to get medical insurance.
But they said since he has this condition from birth,
it won't be covered by medical insurance.
I said I will do whatever it takes.
Our children matter more than money.
So, we took a loan from a bank
and withdrew money. We always kept on trying.
[somber music playing]
We started consulting people.
Someone suggested
that there is a doctor in Gangaram Hospital
who treats kidney issues.
They asked us to meet him.
We planned Chander's surgery
in such a way that he would
only need one round of anaesthesia to avoid multiple surgeries.
We performed four operations on him.
We operated on his gallbladder.
Along with that, we also operated on his kidney.
Then, the blockage in the intestine
was taken care of.
Additionally, a significant portion
of his large intestine
was severely blocked,
resembling a football and was rotting inside his body.
We successfully addressed this issue.
He used to have trouble walking. He was quite sluggish.
But that has changed now.
'Chander has seen tough times.'
But I would like to say
that he has never given up hope.
He always has a positive mindset.
No matter what the lines on a person's hands say,
with positive thinking and courage,
a person can change their own destiny.
I believe that my son will change his destiny,
Like a fighter, he will overcome every challenge and move forward.
Facing such challenges at such a young age
is truly an extraordinary feat.
These challenges have
taught me to value small things in life.
I have this desire to do something.
It comes from the challenges I have faced.
[audience applauding]
We will not discuss your illness.
Because I don't want you to get upset.
I want you to focus on this game
so that you win a huge prize money.
All right!
Let's move on.
The ninth question is here.
- Yes, sir. - It is for Rs. 1,60,000.
The ninth question appears on your screen.
[theme music playing]
Yes, sir.
Here are the options.
Sir, this happened recently.
And the correct answer should be Option D, UGC.
- So... - Yes?
I want to lock Option D, University Grants Commission.
Chander Parkash wants to lock D.
You have the knowledge. This is the right answer. Wow!

They've been here for long, so they want to go home.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, the time is up.
While we may not have control over every situation in life.
- But we can always choose to smile. - Yes, sir.
Therefore, keep smiling always.
I will bid farewell with a smile.

Thanks a lot.
