KBC 15: Can you answer this ₹1 crore question about Hiroshima bombing that stumped show's latest contestant?
Kaun Banega Crorepati season 15 almost got its second crorepati of the season, but Shubham Gangrade couldn't get the answer right.
Kaun Banega Crorepati is currently in its 15th season and is hosted by actor Amitabh Bachchan. On Thursday, yet another contestant came close to becoming a crorepati but unfortunately, couldn't crack the ₹1 crore question.

Can you answer ₹1 crore question?
Contestant Shubham Gangrade played well throughout, the show but ran out of luck at the 14th question for ₹1 crore. The question was: What was the aircraft that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on 6th Aug 1945, named after? The options were, ‘a mythical weapon’, ‘a film character’, 'the pilot's mother' or ‘the place where it was built’. The correction answer was ‘the pilot’s mother', Enola Gray.
Shubham chose to quit the show and walk away with ₹50 lakh. Last week, the current season of Kaun Banega Crorepati found its first crorepati in Jaskaran from Punjab. He answered the ₹1 crore question correctly, but had no clue about the jackpot ₹7 crore question. He, too, chose to quit the game.
Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb

It was created in Los Alamos in New Mexico and the two bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in Japan.
