The seventeenth season of the beloved quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati continued its entertaining run with a rollover contestant duo, mother Soni Bilochi and son Bony Bilochi. The pair, who had secured Rs 50,000 in their previous appearance, returned to the hot seat hosted by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, aiming for a bigger prize.
The Game Begins: Chemistry and Quick Answers
Host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed the duo and promptly presented the first question for the evening. The query asked to identify the greenhouse gas with the chemical formula N2O. Without hesitation, the Bilochis correctly selected Option A) Nitrous Oxide, getting their game off to a confident start. The interaction soon took a personal turn as Bachchan inquired about Bony's married life.
In his signature style, Big B first joked that the initial romance of marriage fades within a few days, leaving only responsibilities. He quickly clarified he was teasing and affirmed that married life is beautiful. He then asked if it was an arranged or love marriage. Bony replied that he married the woman his mother chose for him, expressing unwavering trust in his mother's selection and listing the qualities he admired in his wife.
Super Sandook Success and The 'Matka, Latka, Jhatka' Challenge
After correctly answering the question for Rs 5,00,000, the mother-son pair won the chance to play the 'Super Sandook' segment. They displayed impressive knowledge by answering five questions correctly in this round, adding another Rs 50,000 to their total winnings. With this amount, they wisely decided to revive their used 'Audience Poll' lifeline.
The episode then featured a delightful and unexpected moment of fun. Soni Bilochi engaged Amitabh Bachchan in a game often played at women's kitty parties. She challenged the megastar to mimic the "Matka, Latka, Jhatka" dance step. Bachchan, ever the sport, effortlessly mirrored Soni's moves, showcasing his playful side. He then turned to the studio audience, asking if his 'jhatka' was good, which was met with roaring cheers and applause.
The Climax: Lifeline Use and The Final Decision
The game progressed to the Rs 7,50,000 question: "Which engineering marvel, completed in 1869, inspired poet Walt Whitman to write 'A Passage to India'?" Unsure of the answer, the duo used their revived Audience Poll lifeline. Following the poll's suggestion, they chose Option C) Suez Canal, which was the correct answer, safely advancing them further.
However, the next question for Rs 12,50,000 proved to be their stumbling block. It asked: "Who, in 2025, became the first Indian to win a Formula 2 Sprint race at the iconic Monaco circuit?" Lacking confidence and with major lifelines exhausted, Soni and Bony made the strategic decision to quit the game at this point. After exiting, they ventured a guess, selecting Option D) Aditya Patel, but the correct answer was Kush Maini.
Despite not knowing the final answer, their prudent choice to quit ensured they walked away with a substantial sum of Rs 7,50,000. Their episode was a blend of knowledge, family bonding, and light-hearted moments with the host, encapsulating the classic KBC experience.
