KBC 17: Can you guess this ₹50,00,000 question related to Wimbledon which Gujarati contestant failed to answer?
KBC 17 50 lakh question
Episode 6 of KBC 17 kickstarted with its host, Amitabh Bachchan, feeling proud of this season's theme, 'Jahaan Akal Hai, Wahaan Akad Hai,' which highlights that wisdom leads to pride. Sanjay Degama from Gujarat was seated on the hot seat, and his quirky personality and confidence impressed everyone. He played smartly and took home 25 lakh rupees. He could've doubled this amount if he attempted a sport question related to Wimbledon. But he decided to quit to avoid taking the risk.
The question was: Which Indian reached the second round of Wimbledon in 1973 after defeating Hans Engert?
The options were: A) Chiradip Mukerjea, B) Gaurav Misra, C) Jaideep Mukerjea, D) Nandan Bal
Even after quitting, Amitabh Bachchan asked Sanjay to guess the answer. He locked option B) Gaurav Misra, which was a wrong answer. The correct answer was option A) Chiradip Mukerjea, who defeated Hans Engert. Sanjay took home his winning amount of 25 lakh and bid goodbye to Big B. Later, a female contestant got the opportunity to land on the hot seat. She will continue her game in today's episode as well.

Mumbai monsoon mayhem: Waterlogging disrupts Bollywood stars' residences
mumbai extreme rain: Mumbai is reeling under relentless monsoon showers, with heavy rainfall lashing the city for the third consecutive day. On Wednesday morning, residents again woke up to waterlogged streets, traffic snarls, and uprooted trees, as the downpour once again brought life to a crawl. The waters have even reached the doorsteps of Bollywood stars — from Amitabh Bachchan to Kajol — whose homes and routines have been disrupted by water leakage and severe rain warnings. Mumbai Extreme rains are affecting Bollywood houses Sagar Thakur, a vlogger, has been providing regular reports on how the intense Mumbai rains are affecting celebrity residences as well. He recently posted a video showing the water up to the calves at Prateeksha, the second residence of famous superstar Amitabh Bachchan in Juhu, Mumbai. When Sagar went through the main gate to inquire about the condition inside, the watchman asked him to leave. Bachchan himself, he claimed, came to get the water out of the premises. He said that nobody was immune to the damage caused by the Mumbai rains, regardless of how wealthy they were, even the Bachchans or Ambanis. Sagar continued by showcasing the homes of the Deol family, Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji, and Ajay Devgn and Kajol. Following two days of relentless rain, every street surrounding these celebrities' residences was flooded. This led individuals in neighbouring places to offer prayers for Mumbai residents who are struggling following this intense downpour. Many even asked the vlogger to display the homes of poor people instead of Bollywood celebrities. Celebs reacted to the Mumbai rains 2025 Malaika Arora posted a picture of the rain-soaked landscape outside her house on Instagram Stories. She also included a touching message in her post, urging Mumbaikars to 'Stay safe n stay indoors." From his balcony, actor Vijay Varma also offered fans a glimpse of the soaked city. He captioned his photo, which featured Mumbai covered in sheets of rain, "The weather," and included a hot-face emoji. However, Twinkle Khanna chose to read a passage from her own book instead. A video of her reading from Welcome to Paradise was shared. She said, 'On a rainy day, here's a little extract from Welcome to Paradise. I often find myself wishing I could go back and rewrite parts of my earlier books, but never with this one. It captured everything I wanted to say with a lightness of tone that I worked hard to achieve." A bit more artsy, filmmaker Zoya Akhta r posted a black-and-white video of rain hitting her window. Trees beyond the glass were waving greatly in the wind. Meanwhile, actress Hina Khan shared her thoughts on Instagram, writing, 'No matter what. This city just doesn't stop.. Maximum City never takes a break not even when it's covered in water, cloud and mist. The spirit of Mumbai lives through its indomitable people who need to make a living in this expensive city. Work, livelihood, hospital visits, shoots and what don't have the luxury of sitting home and enjoy Chai and Pakodas. They do not waiver. That's Amchi Mumbai Local for you."
