Singh himself shared the throwback video on social media, expressing astonishment at the uncanny resemblance. He noted how the ad, which depicted a 20-year-old character, was brought to life by Ishit Bhatt, a fifth-grader from Gujarat, in a way that seemed stranger than fiction. The post quickly gained traction, with viewers marveling at the premonition and joking about time travel. Many commented on the ad’s predictive power, with some humorously suggesting it was a warning that went unheeded.

Ishit Bhatt’s appearance on the KBC 17 hot seat became a talking point after his confident demeanor. From the outset, he appeared to know the answers before they were fully presented, often preempting host Amitabh Bachchan by locking in his responses. While his quick wit and knowledge impressed initially, this overconfidence ultimately led to his downfall. After correctly answering several questions, Bhatt lost his winnings on the fifth question, valued at Rs 25,000, when he confidently answered incorrectly a question related to the Ramayana.

In this episode of KBC, these three women warriors not only shared stories of their valor but also played the quiz game brilliantly and won a sum of ₹25 lakhs. Their journey reached the ₹50 lakh question, but due to the buzzer indicating the end of time, Amitabh Bachchan had to stop the game.

The final question asked to Colonel Sofia Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Commander Prerna Deosthali was quite interesting. To answer this question, they had to seek help from the audience. The question was: ‘The ‘Arch of Remembrance’ in Leicester, England, was designed by the same person who designed which of these Indian monuments?’ The options were: A) Victoria Memorial, B) Gateway of India, C) Fort St. George, D) India Gate. The three were confused about the answer and therefore used the audience poll lifeline, and with their help, they gave the correct answer. The correct answer to this question was ‘India Gate’ (Option D).

In fact, the ‘Arch of Remembrance’ located in Leicester, England, was designed by the famous British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, who also designed India’s national monument, ‘India Gate,’ located in Delhi.

Though these women warriors could not cross the ₹50 lakh mark, they created a new history by winning ₹25 lakhs. For the first time in the history of KBC, not one or two but three female officers of the Indian Army sat on the hot seat and interacted with Amitabh Bachchan. During this, they not only narrated stories of their bravery but also spoke openly about women’s empowerment and the role of women in the army. They are going to donate the ₹25 lakhs won in this show to the welfare funds associated with their institutions.

In the second episode, contestant Ashutosh, an Income Tax officer, sitting on the hot seat in front of Amitabh Bachchan, gave a brilliant display of his knowledge, but all his hopes were dashed due to one question. Ashutosh gave the wrong answer to a very difficult question asked for Rs 12.5 lakh.

Ashutosh’s mistake cost him Rs 2.5 lakh, and he had to go home with Rs 5 lakh instead of Rs 7.50 lakh. Ashutosh started his game with the sixth question of Rs 50,000. He correctly answered the question, ‘In which film does Ajay Devgn play the role of Ajay Patnaik?’ with ‘Raid’. Ashutosh, who moved ahead quickly by answering all the questions correctly, won Rs 5 lakh by using the first lifeline on the ninth question and the second lifeline on the tenth question.

Ashutosh also won Rs 80,000 by correctly answering 8 questions in the 90-second round ‘Sookshmak Sandook’. He bought a lifeline with this money and also won Rs 7.50 lakh by answering the next question correctly. Progressing with his acumen in the show, Ashutosh reached the question of Rs 12.50 lakh. This question was related to the world of science and technology, which forced him to think.

**The Rs 12.50 lakh Question:**
Question: Which award, established by tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin, is nicknamed ‘The Science’?

Options:
A. Edison Award
B. Breakthrough Prize
C. Millennium Award
D. Eureka Award

Ashutosh did not know the answer to this question, and in the meantime, all his lifelines were also over. Taking a risk, he locked option C, ‘Millennium Award’, but this answer proved to be wrong. According to the rules, after giving the wrong answer, his amount was reduced from Rs 7.50 lakh to Rs 5 lakh.
The correct answer to this question was B. ‘Breakthrough Prize’. If Ashutosh had answered this question correctly, he would have won Rs 12.50 lakh, but one wrong decision reduced his winnings.

Kashish used all her lifelines on the 1 crore question, but was still unsure of the answer. As a result, she decided to quit the game and take home 50 lakhs. Let’s take a look at the question that Kashish couldn’t answer.

The question was:

Which Visigoth king demanded pepper from ancient Rome as a ransom to lift the siege of a city, where Rome traded with India?

Options:
A. Ludovic
B. Alaric
C. Emeric
D. Theodoric

The correct answer to this question is option C, Alaric. Kashish Singhal, with impressive preparation and confidence, performed brilliantly from the start and won 50 lakh rupees. Although she couldn’t become a millionaire on the show, she won enough money to pay off her father’s debt.

Kashish told Amitabh Bachchan that her father had to sell his shop due to some reason, and he had a debt of lakhs of rupees. She wanted to win enough money on this show to pay off this debt, and her wish was fulfilled by coming on the show. After winning the money in KBC, she gave the good news to her father by video call in front of Amitabh Bachchan.

For the past 25 years, Amitabh Bachchan’s show has received immense love from the audience. But now, a new twist of changes has been added to the show. Let’s explore the 6 major changes in Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’.

1. The prize money for the first question has increased fivefold.

Previously, contestants on ‘KBC’ received Rs 1,000 for correctly answering the first question. However, this time, a major change has been made to the prize money, increasing it fivefold. This means that contestants can now win Rs 5,000 by correctly answering the first question.

2. The prize money for the first stage has also increased.

The makers have also made changes in the first stage of the show. Until the previous season, contestants would get Rs 10,000 for answering the first 5 questions correctly. But now, this prize money has been increased to Rs 25,000. This means that contestants can take home a fixed amount of Rs 25,000 after crossing the first stage.

3. The prize money for the second stage has also increased.

Similar to the first stage, the prize money for the second stage has also been increased. Until the previous season, the second stage was for Rs 3.20 lakh, but this time it has been increased to Rs 5 lakh. This means that contestants who cross the second stage will win a fixed amount of Rs 5 lakh.

4. Major changes in the Lifelines

A major change has also been made in the lifelines of the show. Instead of the four lifelines from the previous season, only three lifelines have been kept this time. ‘Audience Poll’ and ’50:50′ have been retained, but a new lifeline ‘Signal Indicator’ has been added. With the help of this new lifeline, the contestant can get a clue related to the question, which will help them answer correctly.

5. The color of the Hot Seat has changed

This year, ‘KBC’ is celebrating its silver jubilee, so its effect is also visible on the set of the show. The hot seat was black till now, but to celebrate this special occasion, the hot seat has also been changed from black to silver.

6. Reaching Amitabh Bachchan has become more difficult.

This time, the path to the hot seat has become a bit more difficult than before. Earlier, only the contestant who won the ‘Fastest Finger First’ round would directly sit on the hot seat. But now, there will be a ‘Quick 5’ round between the two contestants who win the ‘Fastest Finger First’. The winner of this round will get the chance to sit on the hot seat in front of Amitabh Bachchan.
