Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 gets its first crorepati: Can you answer the Rs 1 cr question that Nazia Nasim aced?

Wednesday’s episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 saw its first ‘crorepati’ of the season. Delhi-based communications professional Nazia Nasim crossed the milestone and also attempted the Rs 7 crore question.

Nazia started her game on Tuesday’s episode, and picked up the following day. A promo video for the episode shows host Amitabh Bachchan remarking that he rarely gets to ask contestants the Rs 1 crore question.

Here it is: “Which of these actresses once won a National Film Award for Best Female Playback singer?”

The options were: Deepika Chikhlia, Roopa Ganguly, Neena Gupta, Kirron Kher. And the correct answer is Roopa Ganguly.

But before that, Nazia was asked another question, which she chose to flip. “Mariana Trench is the deepest point in the ocean. The first woman to reach it is also a former astronaut. Who is she?”

The correct answer is Kathy Sullivan. She accomplished the feat in June this year, after having already cemented her place in record books by becoming the first US woman to complete a spacewalk in 1984. “I was always a pretty adventurous and curious child with interests wider and more varied than the stereotype of a little girl,” Sullivan told the BBC in an interview.
