The popular quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, has once again returned to the audience. Season 17 has started on August 11 and as usual, this time also the show is getting a lot of knowledge, emotions and inspirations. In the very first week, the show got a contestant who won everyone’s heart with his intelligence and patience. Kashish Singhal of Delhi became the first contestant. From the beginning of the show, he impressed everyone with his understanding and confidence.
Kashish reached the question of one crore
Kashish Singhal gradually won the questions, giving the correct answer to the 13 questions and won Rs 25 lakh. After this, on the 14th question, he used a lifeline and gave the correct answer to the prize money of 50 lakhs. After winning 50 lakhs, Kashish took the next step and faced a question of 1 crore. This question was related to history and business, and quite challenging. The question was-
Which king of Visigoth demanded pepper to remove siege from the city, as a ransom from ancient Rome, which Rome used to trade with India?
Option
A: Ludovic
B: American
C: Alarik
D: Piodoric
What was the correct answer?
Kashish was confused about this question and since all her lifelines were over, she did not take the risk of guessing. He decided to end the game here and won the amount of Rs 50 lakh and took away from the stage. The correct answer to this historical question was: B – America. This was a question that demanded not only historical information but also an understanding of trade and international relations. This was the reason that many viewers were also shocked to hear this question.
