[audience cheering and applauding]
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.
Today is 2 October,
the birthday of Gandhiji and Shastriji.
The lives of both the founders of this nation are like the sun.
And their maxims guide and influence us to this day.
They dreamt of a happy and prosperous nation.
And seeing that dream come true
reminds us of Bapu and Shastriji.
'When a bountiful harvest'
'flourishes in the soil of patriotism,'
'when the path to prosperity and opportunities'
'ends in every village,'
'when education and safety'
'bring a smile to every child's face,'
'you are deeply missed every moment, Bapu and Shastriji.'
'When the lamp of truth, non-violence and justice'
'burns eternally,'
'when the idea that all religions are the same'
'courses through every being's veins,'
'when both men and women'
'head in the direction of progress together,'
'you are deeply missed every moment, Bapu and Shastriji.'
'As long as the free birds consume'
'what is rightfully theirs,'
'Shastri lives on in this country'
'and Bapu lives on within us.'
'And every time'
'we extol these national heroes,'
'a smile spreads across Bapu and Shastriji's faces.'
'You are deeply missed every moment, Bapu and Shastriji.'
Thank you.

Greetings, hello and thank you.
This is Amitabh Bachchan greeting

Ladies and gentlemen, with me on the hot seat is Bhautik.
With the help of one lifeline, he won Rs. 3,20,000 yesterday.

When we played the game yesterday,
I addressed him by his full name.
Bhautik Bharatbhai Bhanderi.
He got furious.
He rebuked me.
[laughter]
He called the team and whispered,
"Tell him my name is Bhautik."
"Bharatbhai is my father's name. Do not call me that."
"Call me Bhautik."
I apologise, sir.
[laughter and applause]
Bhautik is a maintenance engineer.
His wife is here as his companion.
- Aktaben. - 'Aktaben Bhautik Bhanderi, Wife'
I am calling you 'ben' (sister), not he. Okay.

Mr. Computer!
Bhautikji here...
- I called you Bhautikji, sir. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Computer, please revive Audience Poll.
He does not wish to transfer Rs. 60,000 to the bank.
[audience applauding]
You must have heard me say on multiple occasions
that the next question is the eleventh question

The eleventh question for Rs. 6,40,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options.
Sri Lanka does have it.
Kenya.
Kenya...
Fiji, Spain.

Audience, your turn is here quite early on.
Your time starts now.
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]

[pensive music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

He won. It was the right answer.
[audience applauding]
Well played, audience! Well played.
[audience applauding]
You were thinking the flag of an African country
- ought to have a lion. - Yes.
The interesting fact is that out of all the four options,
- only Kenya has lions. - Precisely.
- And yet their national flag doesn't depict a lion. - Yes.
- The Maasai tribe is indigenous to Africa. - Okay.
Shoes inspired by the Maasai tribe of Kenya have been designed
and are called MBT.
Masai Barefoot Technology.
Like the feet of the Maasai people,
the shoes are curved on the inside.
And their heels are spongy.
Like a sponge.
The Maasai always walk barefoot and at a certain angle
thereby putting less pressure on their spines.
All right, sir.
All right, Bhautik.
The twelfth question is next and it is for Rs. 12,50,000.
You still have two lifelines. Play with utmost caution.
The twelfth question for Rs. 12,50,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]

All of them are coastal countries.
Defined as the trijunction point.
Point T.
[pensive music playing]
India,
Sri Lanka...
Point T.
Okay, so Maldives is in the south.
Mauritius is an African country.
What's on your mind?
Sir!
- I think it's Mauritius. - Okay.
I am not absolutely sure.

- Yes. - All right.
You have two. Which one will it be?
Video A Friend.
He wishes to opt for Video Call A Friend.

He will read out a question. It will have four options.
Your time starts now.
Rushi.
[reads question in Gujarati]
[Gujarati] The trijunction point is called Point T.
[Gujarati] The country is not a party to the 1976 Treaty.
[Gujarati] The options are India...
Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius.
T point.
[Gujarati] 'It could be Mauritius'
- 'as India, Maldives and Sri Lanka are close to each other.' - Yes.
[Gujarati] 'As Mauritius is far off, it might be the answer.'
[Gujarati] 'I'm not sure. Take the risk if you want.'
[Gujarati] Okay. How sure are you in terms of percentage?
'70%.'
Okay.
[buzzer sounds]
His time is up. It's your turn. Go on.

He wishes to take Double Dip. Please activate it.
[chiming]

You'll get two chances to answer. What's your first answer?
D, Mauritius.
He says D, Mauritius. Please lock it.
[suspenseful music playing]
Sir, your friend was absolutely right.
This is the right answer. Well done.
[audience applauding]
- I had it in mind, but... - Sir, you...
- Your guess was right. - Yes.
Mauritius is far away.
The question was for Rs. 12,50,000. So... [laughs]
The trijunction is the point
- where the boundaries of three countries meet. - Yes, sir.
For Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives,
this point is in the sea beyond the Gulf of Mannar...
Okay.
Which is equidistant from the coasts of all the three countries.
- Here are its coordinates. - Hmm.
It is situated at approximately 04 degrees North
- and 77 degrees East. - Yes, sir.
That's where the coasts of all the three countries meet.
Hence, it is called Point T.
Congratulations, sir. You've won Rs. 12,50,000.
[audience applauding]
The thirteenth question for Rs. 25,00,000 is up next.
You've exhausted all the three lifelines.
Only if you're sure of the answer
would I suggest that you attempt the question.
If you get the answer wrong, you shall lose Rs. 9,30,000
and fall to Rs. 3,20,000.
- Get ready, Bhautik. - Okay.
The thirteenth question for Rs. 25,00,000
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Neptune isn't the answer, sir.
Not Mercury either.
MESSENGER.
I've read this...
Venus and Jupiter.
MESSENGER.
Four years.
It isn't Neptune or Mercury.
Venus...
Shukrayaan mission, NASA.
[pensive music playing]
I'm 70% sure it is Jupiter.
Oh, okay.
If you are certain this is the right answer,
only then I'd advise you to play.
Or you could quit. You've won Rs. 12,50,000.
Venus is...
I can't recollect, but it certainly isn't Neptune or Mercury.
I've read about it. It orbited between Jupiter and Mars.
Jupiter... Shukrayaan mission, NASA.
Lucy...
NASA's Lucy spacecraft
circles the moon.
Psyche is also there... Jupiter.
You need to be absolutely sure.
If not and there is doubt,
then I advise the contestants to quit.
You've won Rs. 12,50,000.
I have a gut feeling it's D, sir.
I would not want to dismiss such a strong gut feeling.
It isn't Neptune or Mercury.
The MESSENGER spacecraft orbited the planet for more than four years.
I'd like to play, sir.
- Will you play? - Yes.
All right.
You don't have a lifeline.
You said you wish to play.
What's your answer?
Jupiter, D.
Mr. Computer, please lock...
D, Jupiter.
[suspenseful music playing]
Why did you think this was the right answer?
I've read about it, sir.
Two missions came to my mind.
Lucy, Psyche and MESSENGER.
That was my confusion.
Where did you read this?
There were many sources.
[gripping music playing]
This is the wrong answer, sir.
[ominous music playing]
Mercury is the right answer.
- You eliminated the first two options at the start. - Yes.
MESSENGER stands for
Mercury Surface, Space Environment,
Geochemistry and Ranging.
MESSENGER...
- Okay, sir. - Is the backronym, okay?
It has been named so
because as per Roman mythology,
- Mercury is known as the messenger of the gods. - Hmm.
Hence the name MESSENGER.
Mercury is considered the messenger of the gods.
Launched in 2004,
it was the first spacecraft to reach Mercury in 30 years
and also the first spacecraft to have orbited it.
Sir, had you quit, you'd have won Rs. 12,50,000.
However, you played and answered incorrectly.
- So, you now fall to Rs. 3,20,000. - Hmm.
Give him a big hand. I'll transfer Rs. 3,20,000 to you.
[audience applauding]
Your name and account number appear here.
I enter the amount of 3,20,000 here.
I hit "Okay" followed by "Confirm".
It has reached your bank account
in a quick, easy and safe manner via the digital app.
All right, sir.
- It was lovely meeting you. - Yes.
- My best wishes to you. - Thank you, sir.
Aktaben!
- Are you okay? - Yes, sir.
All right. See you, Bhautik.
Thank you, sir. Thank you. This way, please.
Over there, please.
[audience applauding]
It's time for another Fastest Finger First round.
This chance you get is of great significance.
So, please think carefully and answer the question.
Be ready.
The Fastest Finger First question appears on your screens now.
[music playing]
Your options are as follows.
[music playing]
The Bharat Ratna.
Your time is up.
Let's see what the right order is.
First comes A, Lata Mangeshkar, who won the Bharat Ratna in 2001.
Then we have B, CNR Rao, in 2014.
Followed by Bhupen Hazarika in 2019
and lastly, we have Shri Karpoori Thakur in 2024.

[audience applauding]
What do you do, Mr. Aher?
Sir, I hail from a small village
called Khalegaon which is in Beed district.
At present, I am preparing for MPSC in Pune.

I manage a library, sir.
That helps me study

Wow.
[audience applauding]
So, the thing is

How do you manage both?
Here's how, sir.
The kids at the library where I work
study the same thing as me.
So, there's no problem as such, sir.
I get the right environment,
that is one conducive for studying,
at the place where I work.
So, I have help at hand.
Secondly, the librarian or the owner helps me a lot too, sir.
[audience applauding]
- You are studying as well as working. - Yes, sir.
- That's good. - Yes.
Did you deliberately choose a librarian's job...
- No... - So you could study simultaneously?
It's not like that, sir.
I was at the village when the pandemic began
and I wanted to study for the Civil Services.
- Yes. - I couldn't do it there.
I have a friend in Pune.
He told me about the job opening
and said I could study alongside it.
So, I chose that job and studied simultaneously.
- Is he here as your companion? - Yes, sir.
Who else is here?
- Sir, that's my brother Nitin Aher. - 'Kishor's Cousin'
- This is Vedant Jadhav, sir. - 'Friend'
- And Suyesh Aher. - 'Friend'
A warm welcome to all of you.
- Those two are with me in Pune. - I see.
All right, Kishor.
- Let me quickly tell you the rules. - Okay, sir.
The questions will come at you one by one, I'm sure you know.
- You have three lifelines. - Yes.

- We'd like everyone to watch the video. - Yes, sir.
Can we see the video, please?
My name is Kishor Kakasaheb Aher.
I'm 29 years old.
I'm from Beed, Maharashtra.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
And now I'm preparing for MPSC from Pune.
I'm also working alongside.
I work as an admin in the library.
And I help the students when they have any problems.
I was very happy to get a job in a library.
Because it would help me in my studies.
I could do that also,
and it would also help me
become economically stable.
That's why I was very happy to get a job in a library.
Staying away from the family and studying
doesn't feel good.
Because we miss our family.
But what can be done? If we want to move ahead in life
then we have to make these sacrifices.
I have a few friends in Pune,
who make up for my
family, when I miss them.
Four of us live together in one room.
We study, we have fun
and we also eat together.
[song playing]
I'm very proud to have a friend like Kishor.
More than friends we are like brothers.
We study together.
He is moving ahead in life.
And he's pulling us also with him.
We call him Kishor Sir.
Because he's our inspiration.
He works as an admin and studies alongside.
We are inspired to see him
and he also guides us.
[song playing]
I am managing my studies and job right now.
If I get good prize money in Kaun Banega Crorepati,
then I will quit my job and focus entirely on my studies.
[music playing]
Congratulations to you.
- Thank you, sir. - Kishor.
[audience applauding]
- You are away from your family. - Yes, sir.
But when we have good friends
- then the emptiness gets filled. - Yes, sir.
They become family. All your friends who are sitting behind you
must agree with this. Even your brother
was feeling emotional. So were your friends.
Are you also staying away from your families?
- For your education? - Yes, sir.
- Okay.
- I'd like to say something. - Yes, please.
I have known Kishor for two years.
We have been living together.
We eat together.
Kishor is a very talented boy.
We have come only to study.
But he is working and studying.
He finishes all his work on time
- and gets back to studying in the evening. - Oh-ho.
He's a very big inspiration for us.
- Yes. - He inspires us.
That's really good, Kishor.
Not only have you shown your friendship
but you have inspired them a lot
and guided them about how to live life.
- Your friends look up to you. - Yes, sir.
It's a rare sight these days. You wanted to say something?
Sir, I wanted to say something about the past.
- When I was new to Pune, - Yes.
it was during COVID and everything was closed.
But studies were important.
At that time
no one gave us a room to stay.
My friend and I
used to live in the library.
We would wake up at 5:00 am
and have a bath in the bathroom.
We would clean the library...
- We were together. - and at night
we would study till 11:00 pm.
We would sleep in the library.
