Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 (KBC) is a fan favourite show, there is no denying that. It is the perfect dose of infotainment to end the day with.
On its October 27 episode, the host welcomed Dr Shruti Singh from Gujarat on the hot seat. Shruti, who self-talked before answering questions, played a commendable game and went on to secure prize money of Rs 12.50 lakh.
However, she decided to quit when Rs 25 lakh question was posed to her, and all her lifelines were exhausted.
The question was, Who was the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in wrestling at the Asian Games? The options were, a) Geeta Phogat b) Vinesh Phogat c) Babita Phogat and d) Sakshi Malik.
The correct answer to this question is Vinesh Phogat. When Dr Shruti was asked to guess the correct answer before leaving the hot seat, she chose d) Sakshi Malik, which was not the right answer and would have brought her down to Rs 3.20 lakh.
Who is Vinesh Phogat?
Vinesh Phogal is an Indian wrestler who comes from a successful family of wrestlers, with her cousins Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari, being international wrestlers and Commonwealth Games medalists as well.
For the uninformed, she became the first Indian woman wrestler to win Gold in both Commonwealth and Asian games. and also the first Indian Athlete to be Nominated for Laureus World Sports Awards that were held on February 18, 2019.
Vinesh is the daughter of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat's younger brother Rajpal and cousin of wrestlers Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari. Her cousin, Ritu Phogat, too is an international level wrestler and has won a gold medal at the 2016 Commonwealth Wrestling Championship.
Vinesh is also married. She tied the knot on 13 December 2018 when she got married to her long-time boyfriend and fellow wrestler Somvir Rathee of Bakhta Khera village. The couple knew each other since 2011 and both work for the Indian Railway where they met and fell in love.
