JAMMU, Sept 26: The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) season 16 saw a thrilling moment as 22-year-old Chander Prakash, a UPSC<\/a> aspirant from Jammu & Kashmir\u2019s Akhnoor, became the first crorepati of the season. Hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, the show is a beloved quiz-based program where participants answer increasingly difficult questions to win large sums of money. The first episode of KBC 16 was aired in August year and Chander Prakash is the first contestant to bag the crorepati title.Chander Prakash\u2019s story is one of immense courage and perseverance. Since birth, he has dealt with numerous health complications, including a severe blockage in his intestine. He has undergone seven surgeries so far, with his doctors recommending an eighth. Despite this, Chander never allowed his medical issues to hinder his ambitions. He is currently preparing for the highly competitive UPSC exam, aspiring to serve the nation in the future. His participation in KBC showcased his indomitable spirit, and his appearance on the show quickly won the hearts of viewers.
\nOn Wednesday\u2019s rollover episode,the episode began with a warm welcome from Amitabh Bachchan, who praised Chander\u2019s determination and tenacity. Chander\u2019s backstory of facing health struggles was briefly revisited, setting the stage for a gripping episode as he faced his next set of questions on the road to becoming a crorepati.
\nThe first question posed by Bachchan that day was worth Rs 3,20,000: \u201cA \u2018Yokozuna\u2019 is the highest rank attainable in which contact sport?\u201d Confident in his knowledge, Chander selected Option B) Sumo Wrestling and won the amount with ease. His quick decision-making and calm demeanor impressed both the audience and the host.
\nNext up, Chander he successfully answered seven questions in a row in the \u201cSuper Sandook\u201d segment. He said he would repay loans that his parents had taken for his medical treatment. Chander continued to answer questions confidently, reaching a sum of Rs 12.5 lakh. mitabh Bachchan then presented him with the question for Rs 25,00,000: \u201cWhich of these is a 21st-century \u2018superfood\u2019 rich in omega-3 fatty acids, that was cultivated by the Aztecs more than 500 years ago?\u201d Chander selected Option D) Chia Seeds, which turned out to be the correct answer.
\nThe next question, worth Rs 50,00,000, tested Chander\u2019s knowledge of mythology: \u201cAccording to the Padma Purana, with whom did Lord Krishna wage a battle over the fate of Chitrasena?\u201d Unsure of the correct answer, Chander decided to use his first lifeline, \u201cVideo Call A Friend.\u201d However, the response he received did not fully satisfy him, leading him to use another lifeline, the \u201cAudience Poll.\u201d With the audience\u2019s help, he selected Option B) Arjuna, which was the right answer. The audience once again stood to applaud him, and Chander described the moment as a dream come true.
\nChander then faced the Rs 1 crore question, which was: \u201cThe largest city in which country is not its capital but a port with an Arabic name that means \u2018abode of peace\u2019?\u201d After deliberating and applying logic to narrow down the possible answers, Chander used the \u201cDouble Dip\u201d lifeline. He chose Option C) Tanzania, and to his immense relief, it was the correct answer. Chander had officially become the first crorepati of Kaun Banega Crorepati season 16. He also bagged a gift from Hyundai, Venue SUV.
\nFacing the Rs 7 Crore Jackpot Question
\nHaving reached the Rs 1 crore mark, Chander was presented with the jackpot question for Rs 7 crore: \u201cWho was the first recorded child born to English parents in North America in 1587?\u201d Unfortunately, Chander had already exhausted all three of his lifelines, and he admitted that he did not know the correct answer. Rather than risk losing his winnings, Chander decided to quit the game, a choice that Bachchan fully supported. Before leaving, Chander was asked to take a guess, and he selected Option A) Virginia Dare, which turned out to be the right answer.<\/p>\n
