Can You Answer The Rs 1 Crore Question That Stumped KBC 17's Kashish Singhal?
Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, or KBC 17, had an exciting moment in its third episode when 21-year-old Kashish Singhal from Delhi tried her luck at the Rs 1 crore question. The young contestant, who was playing to fulfil her parents' dreams, impressed everyone with her knowledge but ultimately couldn't crack the crore-rupee question. Let's take a closer look at what happened.
The episode began with Amitabh Bachchan welcoming the audience and sharing a heartwarming postcard from a long-time fan who expressed their love for the show. After the warm start, the host conducted the fastest finger first round, which led to two contestants making it to the Jaldi 5: Harshit Sharma and Kashish Singhal. Kashish answered all the questions correctly in the Jaldi 5, earning her a place in the hot seat. She shared how participating in KBC was not just her dream but also a way to live her parents' aspirations.
What Was The Rs 1 Crore Question?
Kashish had already won Rs 50 lakh with her impressive performance, but the Rs 1 crore question left her puzzled. The question asked: '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:
With only one lifeline left, she used the 'Sanket Suchak' (Hint-Giver), but still couldn't be sure of the answer. In the end, Kashish decided to quit the game and walked away with Rs 50 lakh. The correct answer was C) Alaric.
Even though she didn't take home the crore, Kashish's achievement was celebrated by Amitabh Bachchan and the audience. Her story touched many hearts, and her father was visibly proud, knowing the prize money would help repay a Rs 15 lakh loan taken during a family crisis.
Kaun Banega Crorepati 17
KBC 17 continues to gain praise from viewers for its fast-paced format and thrilling questions. This season, the stakes are higher, with the 16th question now offering a Rs 7 crore prize. Contestants like Kashish make the show memorable, proving that knowledge, courage, and determination always leave a mark.

Coolie Box Office Collection Day 4: Rajinikanth's film nears Rs 200 crore in India, crosses Rs 300 crore worldwide, beats War 2
Rajinikanth's Coolie opened like a festival at the ticket counters. In just three days, the action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj collected Rs 158.35 crore net in India. On Sunday, the film showed signs of slowing down, but by then, the damage—or rather the record-breaking—was already done. By 10 pm on day four (Sunday), Coolie added another Rs 30.84 crore, taking its total to Rs 190.09 crore domestically. The buzz now is whether the film can sustain its momentum into the weekdays. Has it conquered overseas, too? The Thalaivar effect is global. Overseas markets poured in $16 million (around Rs 133 crore) in just three days, pushing Coolie past Rs 300 crore worldwide. The film now has its eyes set on the Rs 500-crore club, with the Rs 600-crore milestone not out of sight—if Monday doesn't trigger a big dip. Who's winning the clash with War 2? Released on the same day, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR had the advantage of more screens across India. Yet, it couldn't keep pace with Rajinikanth's storm. While Coolie nears Rs 200 crore in India, War 2 trails with Rs 170 crore. Overseas, the gap is even sharper—Coolie at $16 million versus War 2's $5 million. The verdict from fans is clear: the superstar still holds the reins. What's the film all about? Coolie brings Rajinikanth back in an all-out action avatar, with Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj in pivotal roles. Aamir Khan also makes a cameo, sparking added excitement. While critics remain divided, the audience seems to have embraced the spectacle. What lies ahead? The real test for Coolie begins after its thunderous weekend. Monday's collections will decide whether it continues its march toward box office glory or begins its descent. Either way, Rajinikanth has already ensured that 2025's box office crown rests firmly on his head—at least for now.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were pictured at Balmoral for the first time this summer, with the King driving her to a church service on Sunday. The Queen sat beside him in the passenger seat as they went to Crathie Kirk church, which is near the castle. Charles looked relaxed as he waved to people while driving his Audi Q8 e-tron electric SUV to the service. Camilla smiled as she joined him in greeting the public and photographers. The King and Queen dressed smartly for the Sunday service. King Charles, 76, wore a camel coat over his usual suit and tie. Queen Camilla wore a stylish hat with green and black feathers that matched her outfit, GB News reported. Crathie Kirk is the Royal Family's usual place of worship when they stay at Balmoral. The King and Queen are in Scotland for their yearly holiday. The trip usually starts in August, but Charles's holiday was delayed because he was leading the Victory over Japan Day commemorations. VJ Day, observed on August 15, marks the end of World War Two worldwide. On Friday, the King and Queen attended a ceremony at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to mark the day. They were joined by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, members of VJ associations, military personnel, and senior politicians for the national remembrance service. The King laid a wreath in honour of those who died and held a two-minute silence. While at the event, Camilla was moved to tears when a 105-year-old war veteran paid tribute to Charles in his speech. Yavar Abbas saluted 'my brave king" as he added a personal message. He spoke directly to King Charles and praised him for attending despite his ongoing cancer treatment. The veteran also said that the King's late grandfather, King George VI, would have been proud of him. King George VI, who was Queen Elizabeth II's father, struggled with lung cancer for years before passing away in 1952. view comments First Published: August 17, 2025, 22:57 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
