Despite using her revived lifeline 'Sanket Suchak,' which she gained back after the Super Sandook round, Kashish failed to answer this question about the Visigoths. KBC host Amitabh Bachchan also advised Kashish to play the game very carefully and not to do guesswork because sometimes they prove to be wrong. After thinking for a while, Kashish gave up and took home a whopping amount of ₹50 lakh. If you're wondering what the question was, take a look below along with the options. 'Which king of the Visigoths demanded pepper, which ancient Rome usually traded from India, as ransom to lift a siege on the city?' The options were: A) Ludovic, B) Aymeric, C) Alaric, D) Theodoric Any guesses? Well, thankfully, Kashish quit the game because her guess for option B) Aymeric would have been wrong.
