The 17th season of Sony TV’s popular quiz show, ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ (KBC), is captivating audiences. Host Amitabh Bachchan, along with contestants, are making each episode special with their knowledge and intriguing stories. In the first week of this season, Kashish Singhal from Delhi surprised everyone by reaching the 1 crore question. However, her dream of becoming the first millionaire of this season remained unfulfilled.
Kashish used all her lifelines on the 1 crore question, but was still unsure of the answer. As a result, she decided to quit the game and take home 50 lakhs. Let’s take a look at the question that Kashish couldn’t answer.
The question was:
Which Visigoth king demanded pepper from ancient Rome as a ransom to lift the siege of a city, where Rome traded with India?
Options:
A. Ludovic
B. Alaric
C. Emeric
D. Theodoric
The correct answer to this question is option C, Alaric. Kashish Singhal, with impressive preparation and confidence, performed brilliantly from the start and won 50 lakh rupees. Although she couldn’t become a millionaire on the show, she won enough money to pay off her father’s debt.
Kashish told Amitabh Bachchan that her father had to sell his shop due to some reason, and he had a debt of lakhs of rupees. She wanted to win enough money on this show to pay off this debt, and her wish was fulfilled by coming on the show. After winning the money in KBC, she gave the good news to her father by video call in front of Amitabh Bachchan.
