Come on, gentleman.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Thank you very much.
Greetings, hello and thank you.
This is Amitabh Bachchan welcoming you to yet another
knowledgeable, rewarding and grand episode of Kaun Banega Crorepat
India Challenger Week. Congratulations.
[audience cheering and applauding]
Ladies and gentlemen
Out of the 140 crore population of our country,
a few crore people watch our show.
Among them, a few lakh people
try to come here.
And a few thousand among those lakhs
reach the auditions.
Out of those thousands, hundreds of people
become a part of this game.
Ten out of those hundreds,
make their place in the Fastest Finger First round.
And among those ten, a handful of people
sit on the chair in front of me
and among those few players,
one or two contestants
have the honour of becoming a Crorepati.
[audience applauding]
The gist of all this is
if you want to
reach the last question of this game
then you must strive till the last moment.
[music playing]
We have to rise from ordinary
to an extraordinary level.
And if you want to become lucky
then first of all your skill and ability
will have to be given priority.
[audience applauding]
For the time being,
the person who's skill has made him lucky
is sitting here with me today.
His name is Abhishek Sandhu.
Abhishek is our mid-week challenger.
He entered the game for the first time yesterday
and as he came, he won the Fastest Finger First.
He won Jaldi 5 too.
And now he's here
and has won Rs 80,000,
and all his lifelines are still safe.
- Congratulations to you Abhishek. - Thank you, sir.
Let me tell you
he is an Assistant Employment Officer with the government.
Haryana Government.
- Congratulations to you Abhishek. - Thank you, sir.
- I couldn't talk to you much yesterday - Yes.
The job that you have secured,
you must have worked hard and given entrance exams.
Sir, actually,
just like how UPSC exams are conducted for the Central Government
similarly for the State Government
- State PCS exams are conducted. - Yes.
There is a Haryana Public Service Commission exam
and when they release the vacancies
there is a fight for them. There are prelims, mains and interview rounds.
You may have seen in the movie '12th Fail.'
Yes, I saw it.
- Have you seen the film? - Yes, sir.
I was able to connect because
- my struggle... - All the people who want to appear for UPSC
or services, really loved the film.
- Yes, sir. - The film portrayed
what they go through in their lives.
As they showed in the movie, Manoj struggled for five to six years.
My process was also going on.
People used to taunt me a lot.
- I took a long time. - Yes.
And then,
the struggle can be understood only by you and your family.
Because the pressure is only on you.
But relatives are always talking.
I stopped attending weddings.
Even if it was my cousin or a friend's wedding.
I did not even attend my best friend's wedding.
Because people will ask, 'What are you doing?'
I'd say, 'I'm studying.'
They would say, 'You were studying last year too.'
[audience laughing]
They would wonder
what I was studying that couldn't be completed even in seven years.
Yes, I understand.
It would become tough to explain.
There are three stages in this.
If you fail any one stage, you have to begin at zero.
- Back from the beginning. - Yes.
In the movie, there's a scene, when he gets the final result
and he's selected for IPS, he sits there and cries.
I saw him and I began to cry
thinking that this day would come into my life too.
- This was before the selection. - That's great.
All right, let's play Kaun Banega Crorepati.
[music playing]
- Abhishek, our best wishes are with you. - Thank you, sir.
Greetings to your mother once again.

- in 1930. Okay? - Yes.
During that time,
- Gandhi Ji was very predominant. - Yes.
in all the places. And in their language
they called him a 'Saint.'
We may call them 'Pandit' or 'Mahatma.'
They refer to them as 'Saint.'
The Salt Satyagraha had taken place around the same time.
- Yes, sir. Dandi March. - Yes.
The news of which spread around the world.
And that's why in 1930, Gandhi Ji
was given the title of Time Person of the Year.
The magazine Time brings out Time Person of the Year, each year.
- Yes, sir. - The most popular
and predominant person of that year
- is chosen. - Yes.
That's why he was declared as the Time Person of the Year.
Coming up next is the tenth question.

- Would you like to lock B? - Yes. - Okay.
Mr Computer, please lock B, Drass.

Because you said that they were near Kashmir and Drass is near Ladakh.
And the Kargil War was held on that side.
You had all three lifelines.
I told you to play it because you won lose anything even if you're wrong.
There's no chance of losing anything, because your answer is correct.

Huh?
Isn't it?
Madam, what are his intentions?
Sir, he intends to get married now.
[audience applauding]
Gentleman, it's time to settle down, I think.
I used to think it's better if it gets delayed,
I can save myself from it.
But if I leave it to my mother,
forget the Hot Seat, I would be sitting at the wedding altar.
[audience laughing]
And...
There was an incident
when we were coming here by flight.
And there,
the air-hostesses are very pretty to look at.
One of them was very pretty.
- On the flight? - Yes.
My mother saw her and said,
'Ask her if she's married.'
[laughing]
It would have been a great flight, I must say.
[audience laughing]
Since this is a public programme, who knows,
someone who is watching it...
It's possible, right?
This is a wonderful platform.
- Sir, you... - All the qualities
from your face to your brain,
all the qualities get displayed here.
So, if there any madam who's watching him
please think about him. Nothing wrong with that.
All right.
Sir, when you are sitting in front
why would anyone see me?
[audience cheering and applauding]
Look, Abhishek. It's like this.
All these are just words.
I will not be the one who will sit down to get married.
You're the one who will have to sit at the wedding altar.
They will watch you.
Okay.
All right, Abhishek. Next up is
- is the thirteenth question. - Yes.
- It is for Rs. 25,00,000. You have two lifelines. - Yes, sir.
You played the game very cleverly.
You make accurate guesses.

And the answer turns out to be right.
The thirteenth question for Rs. 25,00,000
appears on your screen.
[music playing]
Here are the options.
You have no time limit to answer.
[suspenseful music playing]
Sir, it is not C. Because
Egypt is on this side of Africa.
And Syria is on this side of Asia. And in the middle...
Israel and Saudi Arabia are also there. So...
It is not that. Israel has been independent.
In Iran-Iraq...
Iran has a different civilisation.
I doubt it was with Iraq.
This is United Arab Republic.
So, Syria-Jordan...
Syria-Jordan are separate so...
- If you answer correctly, you win Rs. 25,00,000. - Yes, sir.
You've secured Rs. 12,50,000.
You have two lifelines.

If the answer is right, you will secure Rs. 25,00,000.
If it's wrong, you secure Rs. 3,20,000.
Sir, I think the answer is D.
Oman-Yemen.
I doubt the answer is C and B.
Sir, I will go with Double Dip.
Double Dip. All right!

There are two things, Mr. Abhishek. You can't quit now.
You must answer.
Also, you get two chances to answer.
What is the first answer?
B, sir.
He wishes to lock D, Oman-Yemen.
[music playing]
No, it is the wrong answer.
Now you have to choose from Syria-Jordan,
Iran-Iraq, Egypt-Syria.
[suspenseful music playing]
Syria and Jordan are close by.
So, that could be the answer.
But Republic...
[sighs]
Sir, lock C.
- C, Egypt-Syria? - Yes, sir.
He wishes to lock C, Egypt-Syria.
[suspenseful music playing]
You spent a lot of time behind this.
You said Egypt is over there and Syria is on this side.
How is it possible? But it was possible.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Well played, Mr. Abhishek.
Well done! It was a difficult question.
I thought your guess was wrong.
Despite the challenges of union
and dissolution with Syria,
Egypt maintained the name
United Arab Republic after Nasser's death in 1971.

I'll repeat the question.
[repeats question]
Only 1, Only 2, Only 3, All 4.
'Option... No. Could you repeat the options?'
Zubin Mehta, SH Raza, Manjit Bawa and Jamini Roy.
'Okay. What about them?'
How many of them were famous Indian painters?
Who were Indian.
Painters.
- 'Painters!' - Painters.
'I think three, Rishi.'
- 'I'm 90% sure it is 3.' - [buzzer sounds]
'Zubin... I'm not sure about Zubin Mehta.'
He says three.
- Yes, sir. I'll go with him. - The clock is ticking.
- Will you? All right. - Yes, sir. C.
- What do I do? - Lock C, sir.
Lock C.
It's the right answer! Wow, well done.
- 'Thank you, sir.' - You saved him...
- 'Thank you. Thank you, Rishi...' - Mr. Dharmendra Singh.
- Zubin Mehta is a musician. - Yes.
He was the conductor of the Philharmonic Orchestra.
The lovely and world-renowned Zubin Mehta.
The rest were painters.
- All right. - Yes, sir.
He's a musician and he has also won the Padma Vibhushan.
All right. Okay!
- Did you go to college in Bhopal? - Yes, sir.
Which college was it?
- Sir, the LNCT Group of Colleges. - Okay.
What did you study?
Sir, B.Tech, engineering.
- Are you still studying? - I graduated, sir.
What will you do now?
- I'm preparing, so I can get a job. - Okay.
Engineers don't get jobs, sir.
[laughter]
When you knew you wouldn't get a job then why did you do this course?
[audience applauding]
Sir, the person sitting before you,
let me tell you,
was in the same state as you.
[laughter]
I too had no idea what would happen. I took up B.Sc.
I knew nothing and nothing happened.
I was lost. There was no B.Sc anywhere.
[laughter and applause]
I don't remember a single thing I studied during B.Sc.
Did you stay in a hostel or at home?
Sir, I stayed in the hostel during my first year.
They had rules and regulations.
Then I began living outside.
When I lived on rent, my days were quite enjoyable.
That's what I wanted to know.
- Once you left the hostel, you became a bachelor. - Yes, sir.
As a bachelor...
Your father is listening, no problem.
- We do a lot of nonsensical stuff when we are young. - Yes, sir.
So,
could you tell us?
Sir, I basically have few male friends.
[laughter and applause]
Sir, you are the first honest contestant.
You outright said that you have more female friends.
[audience applauding]
How did you make so many female friends?
Sir, the flat that I reside in
is surrounded by a girls' hostel on three sides.
[laughter and applause]
You deliberately rented that place.
No, sir. It was a coincidence.
Sir, what do you do all day?
- Nothing, sir... - Do you peep here and there?
- Does that happen? - No, sir.
The window is right in front of my table
and the girls hostel is visible from the window, sir.
- Sir... - [laughter]
I shut the window when I study, sir.
Sir, let me tell you about an incident.
I had gone for a bath, sir.
I put on some music in the hall and stepped in the shower.
I stepped out in a towel and I was dancing.
The curtains were open at the time, sir.
They weren't closed.
The girls saw me.
I went down for tea a few days later.
They said, "Aren't you the towel dancer who lives across from us?"
[laughter and applause]
The warden also knows me now.
"Rishi, the boy who lives across, dances in his towel."
Why did you specifically mention the warden?
We end up having a chat whenever we read the newspaper.
I see.
That way, the warden doesn't stop me from talking to the girls.
If I'm friends with her, I can talk to any girl in the hostel.
So, you first wooed the warden!
[laughs]
After that, you knew you could talk to girls.
[audience applauding]
How many girls do you meet in a day?
Sir, depends on how many of them call.
They call you!
Yes, sir. A senior of mine comes over for dinner.
And I go out for breakfast with one of the juniors.
[audience applauding]
You're very lucky, sir.
[laughter and applause]
Sir, does your father know about this?
He doesn't know, sir.
You didn't know, sir, but now you do!
Sir, I've told him to become independent first
and then, he can do as he pleases.
No, you're right.
Heard that, sir?
First, become independent and then, you can dance in a towel.
Get it?
[audience applauding]
All right, Rishi. That was an interesting chat.
Let's move on.
The ninth question is up next and it is for Rs. 1,60,000.
Ready?
The ninth question for Rs. 1,60,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Shakuni...
Drupada...
[clock ticking]
Um...
Any idea?
No, sir. No idea.
You only have Double Dip.
Once you activate it, you can't quit.
You may quit if you don't know the answer.
You've won Rs. 80,000.
[clock ticking]
Yes, sir. I will quit.
- You'll quit! All right. - Yes, sir.
Rishi's final decision is that he will quit.
- We allow you to quit. - Yes, sir.
You've won Rs. 80,000

Had you played, this would have been right.
Drupada is the right answer.
Drupada, the father of Draupadi and the king of Panchala,
ruled out of Kampilya.
Your answer was right. All right!
It was lovely meeting you and getting to know you.
