Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Contestant failed to answer Amitabh Bachchan's tricky Rs 1 crore question, do you know the answer?
The question was, 'Which king of the Visigoths demanded pepper, which ancient Rome typically traded from India, as ransom to lift a siege on the city?' The options for the correct answer were – A) Ludovic, B) Aymeric, C) Alaric, and D) Theodoric. Kashish had only one lifeline, hence she revived 'Sanket Suchak,' which she earned after the Super Sandook round, but couldn't answer the question about Ancient Rome.

The veteran actor asked Kashish not to use guesswork, because it can be wrong as well. After thinking for a few minutes, the young woman backed out and chose to take home her assured winning of Rs 50 lakh. The correct answer was option C – Alaric. She managed to impress the KBC host, and also opened up about her emotional family background, that left everyone in tears.
In the upcoming special episode for Independence Day, the show will welcome Col Sofiya Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Commander Prerna Deosthalee as special guests. They played an important role in press conferences on Operation Sindoor. The operation was carried out on May 7, this year, to take revenge after the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir. After a four-day conflict, India and Pakistan came to a mutual understanding point on May 10.
Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 airs on Sony TV at 9 pm from Monday to Friday, and it is also available to watch digitally on the Sony Liv app.

Last Updated: During their meeting with Maharaj, both Shilpa and Raj sought blessings and listened to his spiritual guidance. Raj Kundra and his wife Shilpa Shetty were recently seen visiting the revered spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan. Their appearance at the ashram drew attention not just for the couple's devotion, but also because it came at a time when Kundra's name surfaced in reports of allegedly cheating a businessman of Rs 60 crore. During their meeting with Maharaj, both Shilpa and Raj sought blessings and listened to his spiritual guidance. What surprised many, however, was Raj Kundra's emotional gesture, as he offered one of his kidneys to the guru in light of his health struggles. Raj Kundra's Emotional Offer to Maharaj While seated with Premanand Maharaj, the couple shared their concerns and received words of comfort. In the course of their conversation, the spiritual leader revealed that both his kidneys had failed and that he had been living with the condition for nearly a decade. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhajan Marg Official (@bhajanmarg_official) Raj Kundra immediately expressed his admiration for the guru and made an emotional offer. He said, 'I've been following you for the past two years. I have no questions because your videos always answer any doubts or fears I have. You are an inspiration to everyone. I know about your health condition, and if I can help, one of my kidneys is yours." This unexpected statement reportedly surprised Shilpa Shetty, but Premanand Maharaj responded with gratitude. He said, 'It's enough for me that you stay happy. Until the call comes, we won't leave this world because of a kidney. But I accept your goodwill from the heart." Visit Amid Fraud Allegations While the visit to Maharaj highlighted Kundra's devotion and sincerity, it also coincided with headlines linking him and Shilpa to a massive Rs 60 crore fraud case. According to reports, the businessman involved accused the couple of cheating him, though both Raj and Shilpa have denied the claims. The two issued a statement labeling the allegations as 'baseless" and reaffirmed their faith in truth prevailing. Premanand Maharaj, known for his devotion to Lord Krishna and Radha, frequently receives visits from celebrities, including Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. His meetings often emphasize compassion, faith, and resilience in times of turmoil—making the Kundras' appearance especially timely.
