- How are you? Doing well? - Yes.
[audience cheering and applauding]
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 applauding and cheering]
Thank you!
Thank you very much, everyone. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you!
All right. Please sit.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Sit.
Ladies and gentlemen,
No challenge can defeat
a person
until they accept defeat in their mind.
'I have faced many challenges in life.'
'When I was born, there was a blockage in my intestine.'
'Due to which, the doctors'
'I have undergone a total of seven surgeries.'
'There are still some problems with the intestine.'
'The doctor has recommended me to undergo the eighth surgery.'
'A true warrior is someone'
'who never gives up.'
'There have been many challenges.'
'But these challenges have taught me'
'to value small things.'
'I have this desire to do something.'
'It comes from the challenges I have faced.'
'I had challenged myself to be on the hot seat.'
'I am finally there.'
[audience applauding]
Chander Parkash
is seated across from me.
He may not have fought on a battlefield,
but the courage and patience he has shown
in facing one challenge after another since birth
is nothing short
of what a true warrior embodies. He is no less than a warrior.
[audience applauding]
Just 48 hours after birth, he underwent his first surgery.
Yes, you heard me.
This was followed by several unsuccessful surgeries.
He had to endure constant pain and suffering.
At an age
when playing with friends and going to school
is common, but for Mr. Chander Parkash,
living a normal life was no less than a challenge.
And that challenge still exists today.
Despite all this,
Mr. Chander Parkash never stopped studying
or let his morale down.
Today, sitting on the hot seat before me
is a worthy and courageous warrior,
Mr. Chander Parkash Sharma.
Thank you!
- Congratulations, Chander Parkash. - Thank you, sir.
[audience applauding]
At such a young age,
you had to face so many problems.
It is not easy.
- You always motivate yourself to keep moving forward. - Yes.
Being here right now truly showcases
- your drive and determination. - Sir, I would like to say
that challenges teach you to value life.
You are absolutely right. Well said.
People truly appreciate the little things in life
and be patient when they face challenges.
Resilience develops through these experiences.
Above all,
you come to realize
that your greatest friend in this world is yourself.
- You are right. - Because satisfaction...
- Wow! Amazing! - Self-satisfaction is crucial.
I've noticed that youngsters
are worried about petty things.
They live on others' terms and conditions.
They want 100 out of 100.
They don't value their efforts.
We should value our hard work.
I think we should reflect
on what truly interests us.
And move on. Well said,
Ladies and gentlemen, his mother is here as his companion.
Greetings to you.
Welcome to today's show,
For a mother to witness her child
endure such suffering from a young age
is an unimaginable ordeal.
It can be quite overwhelming.
- Yes, sir. - However, you have taught patience to your son.
- And have tackled difficulties with courage. - Yes, sir.
We salute your courage.
Congratulations to you.
[audience applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen, until yesterday,
with the help of one lifeline,
he secured Rs. 1,60,000.
I hope that he secures the highest prize money.
May he look after his health
and invest the prize money
- in his health. - Okay, sir.
[audience applauding]
All right, ladies and gentlemen. Let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati!
[music playing]
You used one lifeline, Audience Poll.
You have secured Rs. 1,60,000.
The first question in today's game
will be the tenth question.
- Yes, sir. - I want to give you a warning here.
Make sure to seize this opportunity.
Because it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yes.
Ready, Mr. Chander?
- Read.- All right! The tenth question for Rs. 3,20,000
appears on your screen.
[music playing]
Sir, 'yokozuna' is the highest rank in the sport of sumo wrestling.
'Yokozuna' is the highest rank.
The rank below 'yokozuna' is 'ozeki'.
So, I will go with Option B, Sumo wrestling.
After giving a lot of information, he wants to lock B. Lock it.
Well played! It's the right answer.
Congratulations to you.
Well played.
'Yokozuna' literally means
- horizontal rope. - Yes.
And this name comes from the traditional white rope
that players tie around their wrists.
- You might know that it is a black belt in Judo. - Yes.
The highest rank is a black belt.
- Yes. - In Sumo wrestling,
you know their ranking with this white thing.
- Yes, sir. - I do not understand what this means.
Could you elaborate on this?
Sir, I enjoy exploring the cultures
- of countries around the world. - Okay.
All the countries in the world.
Their clothes, garments, foods.
I would especially like to mention
that I am inspired by Japan's culture.
I have a Japanese name.
My Japanese name is Manza Kanzu.
The kite string?
I am just asking.
- Sir, M-A-N-Z-A. - Oh!
- Manza Kanzu. - Manza Kanzu.
Manza Kanzu. What does this mean?
Sir, this means
bright sunshine.
- Oh! - Yes.
I was always interested in Japan.
Even my family says
that I was Japanese in my past life.
And that's why I've been talking about Japan since I was a child.
What I like the most about them is that
they maintain their tradition.
They are advanced.
But they stick to their customs and traditions.
I like this about them.
You are right.
Following the devastation brought on by World War II
and the atomic bomb,
the remarkable resurgence and numerous innovations
that emerged after that situation
serve as a fantastic example of progress.
- That impressed you. Congratulations to you. - Yes, sir.
- I will write a cheque to you for Rs. 3,20,000. - Thank you.
And...
[audience applauding]
A cheque for Rs. 3,20,000 is ready for you!
In Japanese it is said...
[In Japanese] Thank you!
[speaks Japanese] Thank you.
- Super Sandook is here. - Yes.
Super Sandook is here.
Should I read the question in Hindi or English?
- English. - In English.
All right! Let's play Super Sandook.
[audience applauding]
- Get ready, Mr. Chander Parkash. - Sure.
Your time starts now.
- C, Seashore. - Absolutely right! Next!
B, Head.
Head is right. Next!
- C, Kolkata. - Correct! Next!
- D, Hindi. - Absolutely right! Next!
- C, Greek! - Wrong! It's Norse.
- D, Indian. - Absolutely right! Next!
- B. Whales. - Correct! Next!
D, Kolkata.
Wrong! Next!
- C! - Wrong.
- Pads. - Correct,
I became short of breath while I kept talking.
I have to get my words out swiftly.
Mr. Chander Parkash!
You answered seven questions correctly. You secured Rs. 70,000.
A big hand for him.
Let me give you the right answers now,
Loki is a god in which mythology? It is Norse.
Not Greek.
Norway. Norse.
The other wrong answer was...
Which city houses the International Centre
for Audit of Local Governance?
It's Rajkot and not Kolkata.
Another one. Which festive day is also known as
Yama Dwitiya?
- You answered Akshaya Tritiya. It's wrong. It is Bhai Dooj. - Okay.
You secured Rs. 70,000.
- Yes, sir. - Should I transfer the amount to your bank
or would you like to revive your used lifeline?
- Sir, I want to revive my lifeline. - All right!
Mr. Computer,
he wants to revive his lifeline
for Rs. 70,000. Please revive it.
[audience applauding]
He has shown immense trust in all of you.
Do help him when required.
All right!
You have all three lifelines at your disposal.
You are familiar with the fact that gradually the questions
will get difficult.
Do answer the next question.
It is least risk.
- Okay. - This is the eleventh question.
It is for Rs. 6,40,000.
The eleventh question appears on your screen.
[music playing]
Options! A...
Sir, when rivers flow down from the mountains
in North India, particularly from the Himalayas,
they deposit a lot of sediments in the plains,
such as in Uttar Pradesh or the upper regions of Uttarakhand.
Therefore, I believe the correct answer should be
Option C, Alluvial deposits.
So, I want to go with Option C.
C, Alluvial deposits.
He wishes to lock it.
How did you guess the answer?
Sir, I studied this in geography
while I was preparing for UPSC.
- Okay. - You get to learn all this.
These things are mentioned
in the books.
You gave the correct answer. Well played, sir. Well played.
[audience applauding]
Wow!
That was an accurate guess!
- Yes, sir. - You are right.
'Bhanger' is old Alluvial.
And 'khadar' is the alluvial soil deposited by the rivers
flowing from the Himalayas.
Congratulations to you.
You have gained a lot of knowledge.
You want to be in Services.
Sir, my interest...
Let me tell the viewers
that he is also gearing up for the services. All right!
Mr. Chander, you secured Rs. 6,40,000.
This might be your first earning.
Yes, sir. I am a student. This is my first earning.
I would want to give this
to my parents.
Because they sacrificed a lot for me.
And we are facing financial issues in our family.
Because I have had an issue since birth.
So, I wasn't able to get health insurance.
- Yes. - For my last surgery,
we had to take a loan
of Rs. 8 lakhs.
That is not covered.
Along with that, the doctor
has recommended me to undergo the eighth surgery.
I plan to use the prize money
to address my health concerns
- and financial crises. - Okay!
- I convey my regards to you, Mrs. Vandana. - Yes, sir.
I am confident that you take great pleasure in seeing how your son
- possesses a depth of knowledge. -Yes, I like it.
I want to thank KBC for this.
It has provided him with an opportunity
- to fulfil his challenge. - Yes.
He had challenged himself
that he has to be on KBC at all costs.
He is someone who, once he sets his mind to something,
he is determined to see it through to the end.
We never ask him to study or do anything.
He willingly wants to finish what he starts.
He just commits to it.
He wanted to be on KBC.
Just imagine how positive his mindset is
no matter what. Despite facing so many problems.
All he says is,
'I have no issue or problem.'
When we received a call, we told him
that it was fine if he doesn't get through.
He says, 'Next time I might do much better.'
'What's in store for me next will turn out to be positive.'
Wow! Lovely!
Congratulations to you.
[audience applauding]
Sir, this time the title of KBC is,
'Life will present you with countless'
'questions, you must respond to them.'
- Yes. - That title perfectly describes my life.
In fact, I was so inspired by it
that I decided
to be on KBC at all costs.
- Luckily, I am on the hot seat, - Congratulations to you.
Congratulations!
Make sure to maintain your willpower.
It helps you achieve great things.
Life is full of obstacles,
and some people succumb to them.
But there are those, like you,
who have a strong will.
- It is this inner strength that drives them to succeed. - Sir.
- Yes? - Life is not fun without challenges.
You are right!
- When I... - Something should keep on happening.
- You are right. - Doing nothing is not fun.
Yes!
Every day presents a challenge for all of us
and we should strive to overcome it.
I've endured a lot of hardships,
It feels weird to talk about me here.
Whenever I faced a challenge,
it felt like too much and I wouldn't know what to do.
My dad was alive back then.
So, I went to him one day and I told him,
'Life is full of struggles.' That is what I said.
He said, 'As long as we are alive, we will encounter difficulties.'
Yes, sir.
We have to struggle every day.
People don't believe that.
It's people like you who have taught us...
I will call you a warrior.
You taught everyone to face challenges.
Let's move on with the game.
[bugle playing]
This is the bugle for nation's question.
Let's see which citizen has asked today's question.
The car is headed to Rajasthan from Maharashtra.
[song playing]
Hello, Amit sir.
I am Shalini Bhargava from Jaipur, Rajasthan.
This is my question to you.
Which constituency in Jaipur district
is also named after a historic monument of the city?
Here are your options.
A, Badshahi Haveli.
B, Taj Mahal.
C, Chetak Smarak.
D, Hawa Mahal.
Your time starts now.
Your time is up.
Winning Voting Unit Number 12.
Wow! Congratulations, sir
Applaud for him.
Congratulations to you. Your name?
Sir, my name is Mustafa Mirza.
I am a sub-inspector in Maharashtra police.
- Cong... - Answer is D, Hawa Mahal.
It is the right answer! Brilliant!
Thank you, sir.
A small gift for you.
Thank you
Congratulations to you.
Don't stop applauding for him.
- Okay! Mr. Chander Parkash! - Yes, sir.
You've secured Rs. 6,40,000.
- Your first earning. - Yes.
- I want you to win more. - Yes, sir.
Coming up is the twelfth question for Rs. 12,50,000.
All three lifelines are at your disposal.
Please use them wisely.
The twelfth question for Rs. 12,50,000 appears on the screen.
[music playing]
Options.
Sir, as far as I remember,
Andaman and Nicobar Islands was the first part of India
to be free from British rule.
Port Blair is the capital of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
So, I wish to lock Option A, Port Blair.
All right.
After citing some history,
Mr. Chander Parkash wishes to lock Option A, Port Blair!
Well played, sir. It's the right answer!
Whoa!
Fantastic!
[audience applauding]
Netaji visited Port Blair in 1943
when he was the leader of the Indian National Army.
He hoisted the flag there
and declared Andaman free from British rule.
- He travelled around the world. - Yes, sir.
And the many pictures and history about him
states that he vowed
- to drive the British out by becoming a fighter. - Yes, sir.
Correct? All right.
Mr. Chander Parkash, I am just curious.
I keep circling back to your ailment.
Please do not mind.
There must be a lot of...
Since you mentioned it was an intestinal problem,
- there must be strict dietary restrictions. - Yes, sir.
Sir, there are a lot of restrictions.
After seven surgeries,
I'm not able to consume junk food and dairy products.
So, my mother especially cooks
fibre-rich and fermented foods like 'idli', 'dhokla' and 'dosa'.
Even 'sabudana khichri', sweet broken wheat porridge, 'poha'.
That's all I can eat.
Sir, I watched an episode where you mentioned
about an incident from the film 'Coolie'.
You had digestive issues and issues in the pancreas too.
I want you to explain that to our audience.
Sir, if I talk about my history, the show will come to an end!
[audience applauding]
All right, sir.
- We had a lovely personal chat. - Yes, sir.
The thirteenth question is next and it is for Rs. 25,00,000.
The thirteenth question for Rs. 25,00,000
appears on your screen now.
You have all three lifelines.
[music playing]
Omega-3 fatty acids.
Sir, as far as I've heard,
two vegetarian foods are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
One is chia seeds and the other is walnuts.
So, I think Option D, Chia seeds, should be the right answer.
Sir, since the amount is huge, there might be some risk involved.
[pensive music playing]
Sir, I'll take a bit of a risk and lock Option D, Chia.
All right!
He says he wishes to take some risk and lock Option D, Chia.
Lock D.
[suspenseful music playing]
Brilliant decision to take the risk. It's the right answer. Wow!
Well played!
[audience applauding]
Mr. Chander Parkash!
That was excellent.
Wow! Well done!
[audience applauding]
- Sir, it... Just look at that. - Thank you.
[audience applauding]
It is very rare
- for the audience to give a standing ovation. - Thank you.
You answered such a difficult question correctly.
Chia contains high amounts of fibre
which the Aztecs cultivated for religious reasons.
It is grown in Guatemala and Mexico.
How do you know all this?
Sir, I wish to tell you
that I had no interest in food and nutritional science earlier.
After my seventh surgery,
I developed a keen interest in relation to nutritional values
- as well as food. - Yes.
Whenever we buy any product,
I first read the label at the back.
Only then we bring more of it.
- So, since then an interest... - Yes. The label tells you
- about the ingredients, their values and weight. - Yes.
[sighs]
Sir, at this stage, very few contestants
have all three lifelines intact.
[audience applauding]
Mr. Chander Parkash...
[audience applauding]
I pray that you play cautiously even going further.
[audience applauding]
Sir, the question for Rs. 50,00,000 is next.
This is the fourteenth question and all three lifelines are intact.
After attaining unparalleled knowledge,
you've won Rs. 25,00,000 without the help of a lifeline.
The fourteenth question for Rs. 50,00,000
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
[pensive music playing]
Sir, I have no idea about this question.
- So, I'd like to use a lifeline. - Okay.
Video Call A Friend.
- Video Call A Friend. Okay. - Yes.
He wishes to use the Video Call A Friend lifeline.
Please activate it.
Mr. Chander Parkash, here are the three names you provided.
Mr. Deepak Chopra.
Mr. Hitesh Sharma and Mr. Swastik Gupta.
- Sir, I wish to call Swastik Gupta. - All right.
- Swastik Gupta. - Yes.
Please place a video call to Mr. Swastik Gupta.
[line trilling]
- Is he a friend or a relative? - Sir, a friend.
[line trilling]
Greetings, Mr. Swastik Gupta.
This is Amitabh Bachchan from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
'Greetings, sir.'
With me on the hot seat is Mr. Chander Parkash.
And he needs your help with a question.
'Yes, sir.'
He will read out a question to you.
Be ready.
The next voice you hear will be Chander's.
Mr. Chander Parkash, your time starts now.
Chitrasena.
Who did Lord Krishna wage a battle over the fate of Chitrasena?
Understood?
Who did Lord Krishna wage a battle over the fate of Chitrasena?
Option A, Lord Balarama.
Option B, Arjuna.
Option C, Lord Indra.
Option D, Duryodhana.
[clock ticking]
Hello?
'I think the answer is Option C, Lord Indra.'
'However, I'm not quite sure,'
'but I think the answer is Option C, Lord Indra.'
Sir, are you sure?
'No, I'm not quite sure.'
[buzzer sounds]
He's not quite sure.
You have two more lifelines. You could use them if you want.
- Sir, I'll opt for Audience Poll. - All right.
Mr. Computer, please activate Audience Poll.
Audience, I know this is a difficult question
but I hope you will answer it correctly
and help Mr. Chander Parkash move on further in the game.
Your time starts now.
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
B, Arjuna, has garnered the majority votes at 50%.
A has got 30%, C has got 6%
and D has got 14%.
[pensive music playing]
Sir, I think I should go with the audience.
So, I wish to lock Option B, Arjuna.
Arjuna!
Lock B!
[suspenseful music playing]
Look, Mr. Chander Parkash.
When you spoke to your friend,
he said Lord Indra.
He wasn't quite sure.
The audience's poll shows that Lord Indra got 6%.
And A and B had got 30% and 50% respectively,
which is Balarama and Arjuna.
At this level, pardon me, the audience might get it wrong.
If you wanted to find out the answer
and go with the audience,
you had one more lifeline, Double Dip.
You could have chosen either.
[suspenseful music playing]
You said Arjuna.
I won't say much because this is the right answer!
Well played, audience.
Wow! Fantastic!
Well played, audience.
- Thank you. - Well done.
[audience applauding]
- Chitrasena disrespected Sage Galava. - Yes, sir.
So, the sage asked Lord Krishna to kill him.
Chitrasena pleaded with Subhadra, Arjuna's wife, to save his life
and Arjuna promised to protect him.
Eventually, Subhadra put an end to the duel
and got Lord Krishna and Arjuna to reconcile.
Well played, audience. That was amazing.
Wow.
[audience applauding]
Look, you've won Rs. 50,00,000.
- You said this was your first earning. - Yes, sir.
How does it feel, Mr. Chander Parkash?
I am elated.
It's a dream come true if I were to put it in one sentence.
We faced many challenges
and still have financial issues.
My father is the sole earning member of the family.
He has a government job.
- The only income of the family comes from Dad. - Okay.
Rs. 50,00,000 is a big amount.
I will definitely
invest this money towards education, my health issues,
buying insurance and repaying our loans.
- We'll invest it there. - You'll take care of that.
[audience applauding]
- When you left home to come here... - Yes?
Did you think you'd win Rs. 50,00,000
and be attempting the Rs. 1 crore question?
I had not imagined this, sir.
I just wanted to do well and stay calm.
I thought I'd apply my mind and use the elimination technique.
- And the biggest thing was to believe in myself. - Yes.
Lovely.
[audience applauding]
Your mother...
Vandana, now is the time if you want to say something,
give your blessing and offer your prayers.
You can say whatever you wish to.
- Sir, our blessings are always with him. - Yes.
He was adamant about coming here, sir.
He has been stubborn from the start.
From the time he was little,
if he was adamant about something, he would just not budge.
His stubbornness has earned him this Rs. 50,00,000.
Sir, sometimes, being stubborn is good.
Yes, it is.
You're adamant! [laughs]
[audience applauding]
All right, sir, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. Chander Parkash is about
to be presented with the fifteenth question
and it is for Rs. 1 crore.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to tell you
this is the first time in the history of KBC
that two consecutive contestants
have attempted the question for Rs. 1 crore.
- Congratulations, Chander Parkash. - Thank you, sir. Thank you.
[audience applauding]
All right, sir.
My best wishes are with you.
Yes, sir.
Coming up is the fifteenth question for Rs. 1 crore.
You still have one lifeline left.
Double Dip.
If you think
you are certain about two options
out of which one is right, only then use the lifeline.
Think of the significance
- Rs. 50,00,000 holds in your life. - Yes, sir.
You can quit when you want.
The fifteenth question for Rs. 1 crore
appears on your screen now, Mr. Chander Parkash.
[music playing]
Options.
There is no time constraint.
You have one lifeline.
You have played very cautiously until now
and I want you to play in the same fashion.
If you don't know the answer and don't wish to use the lifeline...
Once you activate Double Dip, then you cannot quit.
You've won Rs. 50,00,000. You can quit when you want.
[heart pounding]
Sir, I can at least eliminate Option B, Oman.
Its capital is Muscat
and also perhaps its largest city.
So, it should not be Option B.
[murmurs]
Somalia.
Two...
Sir, I'm confused between C and D, but...
The capital of Option A, Somalia, is Khartoum.
And I think
that Khartoum is the largest city in Somalia.
Tanzania.
Brunei.
The largest city in which country is not its capital but a port?
Somalia also has a port, by the way,
but I feel that Somalia should not be the answer.
As far as Tanzania goes...
I feel that Tanzania could be the answer,
but this is a huge amount and taking a risk would be
a little difficult.
'He had a surgery the day he was born.'
'He cried incessantly.'
'I've faced many challenges.'
'We tried very hard to get medical insurance.'
'They said he would not be covered'
'because he has had a problem since birth.'
'My father is the sole earning member of the family.'
[heart beating]
I think it should be Tanzania.
Should I take the risk?
- Rs. 50,00,000 is quite a big amount. - True.
I feel it should be Tanzania
because the others...
I think the capital of Brunei
is something like Bandar Seri Begawan
and it is its largest city too.
Oman's is Muscat.
Somalia's is Khartoum.
Tanzania's capital...
I don't think it's the largest capital but...
[heart beating]
I have a feeling
I should use my last lifeline Double Dip.
And I'd like to opt for it.
It's your decision. Tell us what you'd like to do.
Sir, I want to use my last lifeline Double Dip.
All right.
Mr. Computer, he wants to use his last lifeline Double Dip.
Please activate it.
- Mr. Chander Parkash, you cannot quit the game now. - Yes, sir.
As you know you will get two chances to answer it.
Yes, sir.
- Please give us your first answer. - Option C, Tanzania.
Please lock C, Tanzania.
[music playing]
'I had so many challenges in my life'
'that no one ever expected me'
'that I will be able to stand up on my own.'
'I think my son will change his fate'
'and go ahead after winning over all challenges, like a fighter.'
'I think one crore'
'will be like a dream come true.'
[suspenseful music playing]
Why did you think it was Tanzania?
Sir, I think the capitals of the other three
are the biggest in their country.
I don't recall anything about Tanzania being the biggest capital.
- Somalia... - You took the Double Dip.
- Yes, sir. - You have given one answer.
There's no need to go to the second one.
- One crore [theme music playing]
- One crore. [audience cheering and applauding]
Chander Parkash, that's amazing. Give me a hug.
Wow. Well played, sir.
[inspirational song playing]
Unbelievable play.
Your mother wants to come here.
Please come.
- Many congratulations to you. - Thank you, sir.
- You must be very proud of your son. - Yes, sir.
All the difficulties that he and you went through in your life
- are now over. - Thank you, sir.
Congratulations to you. Please give him your blessings.
Let me tell you the game is not over.
You still have to play the seven-crore question.
Thank you, sir.
Let me take you back.
[inspirational song playing]
- Yeah! - Thank you.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Chander Parkash, I'd like to tell you
- that you are the first Crorepati of KBC Season 16. - Yes, sir.
Congratulations to you.
Okay.
Tanzania's largest city and economic centre is Dar es Salaam.
Yes, sir.
And in Arabic it means, 'abode of peace.'
It is one of the most important port cities
on the East African coast
as it provides access
to landlocked African countries.
Despite all this, it is not the capital city of Tanzania.
The capital is Dodoma.
- Yes, sir. - Dodoma is the capital of Tanzania.
Congratulations to you.
I don't know what to say. Everyone became emotional.
[audience applauding]
Gentleman, you see, despite
having so many difficulties
Yes, sir.
the sincerity with which you answered the questions,
including questions that were very tough.
- I had never heard of them before. - Yes, sir.
But your education and knowledge
and your preparation to go for the services helped.
- congratulations to you. - Yes, sir.
[audience applauding]
- All right. - I'm very interested in Geography.
- I mean... - Yes.
I love to explore too.
I wouldn't like to go to a mall,
but all the historical sites, like Qutub Minar,
Humayun's Tomb or even the new Parliament
- which is being built... - Yes.
I would love to go there.
Now that I've come to Mumbai
I thought that I should at least go and visit Gateway of India.
- Because I love exploring culture. - Congratulations to you.
I would love to go around the world
because I like exploring the culture of a place,
especially Japan.
So...
- Gentlemen, the state of mind that you have in life - Yes, sir.
- don't let anyone break down that door. - Yes, sir.
Keep your persistence.
- This persistence is what has brought you here. - Yes, sir.
And you have answered so beautifully.
Many congratulations to you.

And your first income is one crore.
[audience laughing]

as to earn one crore as their first income.
- No one will get it. - Yes, I'm lucky.
All right.
I would like to tell you
when I had my sixth surgery, people did not expect me
that I would even be able to get up from my bed.
Everyone used to call me a 'bedridden man.'
They would say, 'If he gets up from the bed, it will be a miracle.'
There was no chance of me studying.
My mom took the first initiative for my studies.
I've reached here because of her.
[audience applauding]
Okay.
Now the last question of this game is coming up.
Chander Parkash, the sixteenth question is coming up.
I have not had many opportunities to say seven crore rupees.
The sixteenth question for seven crore rupees
is on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options.
[suspenseful music playing]
The first recorded child.
[heart beating]
Sir, I don't have much idea about this.

the other contestants are also waiting,
I should not take too much time.
I would like to quit the game.
One crore is a very big amount
- and it is very important in my life. - Yes.
I would like to quit this game.

The game is over, so you can guess any one option.
Sir, I will choose option A, Virginia

Please lock A, Virginia Dare.
Oh, my God.
Sir, but the risk was too big.
And I had no idea about this question. That's why.
This is the right answer.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Virginia Dare was born
in the British-founded
Virginia colony
on 18th August 1587.
It is believed that she was named after the Virginia colony
- and Queen Elizabeth I. - Yes, sir.
That's amazing, Chander Parkash.
You are very well-read.
Sir, this was just guesswork.
What a coincidence that your guesswork could've got seven crore.
Tell me about it.
- Congratulations, Chander Parkash. - Thank you, sir.
Mr Amitabh Bachchan helped me relax
and I was able to win such a big amount.
All my financial crises,
all my pending loans,
and all the problems and challenges
that I was facing
were reduced to quite an extent. All this was possible
thanks to Mr Amitabh's motivating words.
