For the unversed, Himani Bundela was the first crorepati of the show. She took home Rs 1 crore last month. However, she quit the show after winning a crore as she was unsure of the answer to the Rs 7 crore jackpot question.

On September 7, 1965, when Ganj-i-Sawai was heading back from Mecca, the pirate Henry Every seized the ship. It is considered one of the most high-value heists by a pirate. This heist not only made the Mughal king lose gems and wealth but also most of his artillery crew,” Amitabh told Pranshu in Hindi.

Earlier in the episode of KBC 13, Pranshu said that he always carries a picture of cricketer Rohit Sharma in his wallet. Amitabh joked that Pranshu how does not carry his girlfriend’s picture but of Sharma’s. When asked to choose between his beau and Sharma. Pranshu replied saying that Big B’s question is a more difficult question than the one for Rs7 crore, and how he does not even have a lifeline. This reply left Amitabh in splits.
