Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Can You Answer This ₹50 Lakh Football Question That Stumped a Young Contestant?
In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, a young contestant decided to quit the game and took home ₹12,50,000 instead of attempting a tough football-related question worth ₹50,00,000.
A Thrilling Episode Begins
The episode on February 6 started with Vaishnavi Ramdasi, a contestant from Pune, who won ₹12,50,000. After her game ended, M Siddhant Reddy took the hot seat.
Siddhant impressed host Amitabh Bachchan by answering the Fastest Finger First question in just 8.42 seconds. His confidence and mature thinking left Big B praising him. Siddhant played well and eventually won ₹25,00,000, deciding to quit on the 14th question, which was worth ₹50,00,000.
Siddhant’s Inspiring Story
During the episode, Siddhant shared that he dreams of becoming a cardiologist because he doesn’t want others to suffer like he and his mother did after his father passed away due to a heart problem.
Coming from Ahmedabad, he also revealed his deep interest in mythology.
The ₹50 Lakh Question That Made Him Quit
Siddhant used all his lifelines by the 13th question and secured ₹25,00,000. However, when the next question appeared on his screen, he chose to quit.
The ₹50,00,000 question was:
In which country is the football club SV Jai Hanuman located?

C) Maldives
D) Seychelles
Correct Answer: B) Suriname

“Humein bahut garv ho raha hai aapke upar aur hum aapko apni shubhkaamnayein dete hain. Sab logo ka aashirvaad hai aapke upar. Aap isi tarah apne jeevan ko aage bhi vyateet karein.”
