KBC 17: Kashish Bows Out at ₹1 Crore Question, Wins ₹50 Lakh, The Correct Answer is...
A 21-year-old Delhi contestant left the hot seat after failing to answer a tough history question
The popular reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, has once again delivered a high-stakes moment that had audiences on the edge of their seats. In a recent episode of Season 17, 21-year-old Kashish from Delhi reached the ₹1 crore question but chose to walk away, securing ₹50 lakh instead.
Dreams and Determination
Despite her young age, Kashish carried big dreams with her onto the hot seat. She revealed that her foremost goals were to bring financial stability to her family and repay her parents’ debts. With composure and intelligence, she cleared the earlier rounds and steadily moved up the prize ladder.
After winning ₹25 lakh, Kashish happily announced that she could now clear her father’s loans. She then went on to clinch ₹50 lakh, a feat that left both the audience and Amitabh Bachchan impressed with her confidence and calm approach.
The ₹1 Crore Question
Her journey, however, came to a halt when Bachchan presented the ₹1 crore question:
“Which Visigoth king demanded black pepper from Rome to lift his siege, a spice Rome traded with India?”
Options were:
(a) Ludovic
(b) Emeric
(c) Alaric
(d) Theodoric
Kashish used her final lifeline, the Ask the Expert hint, but remained unsure. Choosing caution over risk, she decided to quit the game and take home her guaranteed ₹50 lakh prize.
The Correct Answer
After her decision, Amitabh Bachchan revealed the correct answer: (c) Alaric. While Kashish missed out on the ₹1 crore jackpot, her inspiring journey, emotional story, and dignified exit struck a chord with viewers.
Big B praised her determination and wished her success for the future, reminding audiences once again that KBC is not just about knowledge, it is about courage, dreams, and life-changing moments.
