The seventeenth season of the beloved quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati continued with an emotional and determined young contestant, Lucky Khan, taking the hot seat. The episode, hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, resumed with Lucky as a rollover participant from Nawada, Bihar, who had already secured Rs 5,00,000 in the previous episode.
Lucky's Journey and Lifeline Revival
Lucky Khan had entered the episode with a significant advantage. After winning the Super Sandook, he successfully revived his 'Audience Poll' lifeline, giving him a crucial safety net for the tougher questions ahead. As the show began, host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed him back and presented the first question for Rs 7,50,000.
The question asked: "Which of these companies is not a Maharatna Company?" Unsure of the answer, Lucky wisely decided to use his newly revived Audience Poll lifeline. The audience's collective wisdom pointed towards Option D) Bharat Electronics Limited, which Lucky locked in as his final answer, successfully moving forward in the game.
A Dream to Become a Doctor
As the game progressed, Big B engaged Lucky in a heartfelt conversation about his plans for the prize money. The 18-year-old contestant revealed a noble and ambitious dream: to become a doctor by pursuing an MBBS degree.
Lucky shared that he does not want to place any financial burden on his father, who works as a farmer. He expressed his desire to support his family through the costly journey of medical education. "My dream of being a doctor comes with a cost," Lucky said in Hindi. "I want to be able to support my family because a middle-class family can barely afford the fees. I am trying to get admission into a government medical college through NEET, where the fees are less." Moved by his sincerity, Amitabh Bachchan gave him his best wishes for the future.
The Final Question and Exit
Lucky's journey reached its next milestone at the question for Rs 12,50,000. The query tested his knowledge of Indian history and archaeology: "From which of these places, that is also home to an IIT, was one of the earliest Indus Valley excavations made in independent India?"
With his 'Audience Poll' already used, Lucky opted for his last remaining lifeline, 'Sanket Suchak'. Unfortunately, this lifeline did not provide him with a clear signal or help. Faced with uncertainty and a substantial amount of money on the line, Lucky made the prudent decision to quit the show and take home his accumulated winnings.
As per the show's format, Big B asked him to attempt a guess. Lucky selected Option A) Chandannagar, which was incorrect. The right answer was Option C) Rupnagar. Thus, Lucky Khan's inspiring run on KBC 17 concluded, but not before he won a significant sum to put towards his medical aspirations.
His story resonated with millions of viewers, highlighting the show's role in turning dreams into tangible goals. The search for the first crorepati of KBC 17 continues.
