The August 15th episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’ was a special event. The episode featured three exceptional women: Colonel Sofia Qureshi of the Indian Army, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh of the Indian Air Force, and Commander Prerna Deosthali of the Indian Navy, who graced the hot seat.
In this KBC episode, the three women shared their stories and played the quiz, winning ₹25 lakhs. They reached the ₹50 lakh question, but time ran out before they could answer it.
The final question for the participants was about the designer of the ‘Arch of Remembrance’ in Leicester, England, asking which Indian monument was also designed by the same person. The options were: A) Victoria Memorial, B) Gateway of India, C) Fort St. George, D) India Gate. They used the audience poll lifeline and chose the correct answer: India Gate (Option D).
Sir Edwin Lutyens designed both the ‘Arch of Remembrance’ and India Gate.
Though they did not win ₹50 lakhs, they won ₹25 lakhs, making history in KBC. Three female officers from the Indian Army sat on the hot seat together. They talked about their bravery and the role of women in the army. They will donate their winnings to their institutions’ welfare funds.
