Sharing the post, the channel's Instagram page wrote: "#KBC13 ke manch par aayi Himani Bundela kya apne gyaan aur hausle ki taakat se bann paayenge iss saal ki pehli crorepati? Jaanne ke liye dekhiye (Can Himani Bundela, who with her knowledge and spirit, become the first crorepati on KBC 13?) #KaunBanegaCrorepati, Mon-Fri."

In the promo, Amitabh Bachchan was seen guiding her to the hot seat and offering her a glass of water. Before that, in a voiceover, he said that Himani was visually impaired. The promo then teased the 15th question.

KBC 13 went on air on Monday (August 23) with its first contestant - Gyaan Raj from Ranchi, Jharkhand. Gyaan started off well, answering questions correctly to reach the 12th question, worth ₹12.5 lakh. However, we answered the question wrong and ended up with only ₹3.2 lakh.

KBC 13 will once again have live audience. Last year, however, this component was done away with owing to the coronavirus pandemic. With the return of live audience, Audience Poll lifeline will also be back.
