In Amitabh Bachchan's quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Nareshi Meena became the first contestant to reach the 1 crore question. Her touching story moved everyone in the studio, including Big B, who was visibly in tears.
Although Nareshi's journey was emotional, she did not become the season's first crorepati because she struggled with the 1 crore question. She had shared on the show that she was fighting a serious illness similar to a tumour, which had been treated but not completely cured.
Her determination impressed everyone, and she wanted to use the prize money for her treatment. Big B, touched by her bravery, promised to help with her medical expenses.
Rs 1 crore question

The options were: A- Lottie Dod, B- Gladys Southwell, C- Mae Seton, and D- Kitty Godfrey.
Left Nareshi confused
Nareshi was confused between options B and D and decided to quit the show. When asked, she chose A- Lottie Dod, which was the wrong answer. The correct answer was B- Gladys Southwell. Nareshi left the show with 50 lakhs.
Before answering the question, her father mentioned that they were villagers and never imagined coming this far. He never thought he would even touch an airplane, let alone travel in one. Although Nareshi did not become the first contestant of the season,do you know the answer to this question?
