New Delhi: Kaun Banega Crorepati returned for its 17th season on August 11. The quiz-based reality show marks the return of quiz master, film veteran Amitabh Bachchan. In the third episode, it was 21-year-old contestant Kashish Singhal who grabbed the hot seat. Kashish Singhal was the first participant who attempted a Rs 1 crore question but unfortunately she failed to answer that. The Rs 1 crore question asked by Big B was, "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 and D) Theodoric. Kashish Singal, who successfully passed all the previous rounds, got stuck in the question.

The correct answer was Option C – Alaric. For context, king of the Visigoths, Alaric I famously demanded a ransom during his siege of Rome in 408 CE. The items included gold, silver, silk, hides — and 3,000 pounds of pepper. Pepper, a luxury ingredient in ancient Rome, was mostly imported from India through long-distance trade routes, underscoring its value as a mark of wealth. During a conversation with the host Kahish Singhal expressed her love for Mathematics. The 21-year-old also revealed that she was preparing for defense courses ever since she passed her 12th class. She planned on paying a loan of Rs 15 lakhs with the money. Kaun Banega Crorepati is set to welcome three female members from the Indian Armed Forces for a special Independence Day episode.
