I will have to speak to you with a bit more respect.
No, sir. I won't do it here.
Oh my!
You have won medals in
the Asian Taekwondo Championships.
Yes, sir.
These are newspaper cutouts.
My photo has been published in the newspaper many times.

I had quit taekwondo due to studies and all.
Before that, I used to practice continuously.
I have practised taekwondo for more than ten years.
You are doing a great job.
Because I didn't want to be
my dad's princess, but his fearless one.

This bugle marks the start of Super Sawaal!
You are familiar with the Super Sawaal.
Mr. Computer, please present the Super Sawaal for Mrs. Mansi.
[music playing]
Sir, I don't know.
Even if my answer is wrong, it will be fine.
But I will answer.
It might be
Shiv Dayal or something. I can't recall.
Shiv Dayal? Okay.
- My guess. - Should I lock it?

No, this is wrong. It's Pandit Shivkumar Sharma.
Pandit Shivkumar Sharma

Yes, santoor player.
He is renowned, famous and iconic.
All right, Mrs. Mansi.
I forgot to ask you something.
What have you been doing lately?
Sir, I work as a postwoman at India Post.
[machine beeps]
[upbeat music playing]
My name is Mansi Lehru.
I am 25 years old.
I work as a postwoman
in India Post.
People assume that a postman will come to deliver letters.
When a postwoman knocks on the door or rings the bell,
you get to see their shocking reaction.
There are women in this field too.
People also say
that it must be very difficult for you.
I tell them
that boys don't get special treatment.
The weather is the same for both.
If a boy can do this work, why can't a woman do this?
My day starts as a postwoman.
But my day ends as a teacher.
My husband is also a teacher.
Be both take tuitions.
[pleasant music playing]
Our life was going on smoothly.
But it was the calm before the storm.
We wanted to earn money easily
and as soon as possible,
but we incurred a lot of losses.
[tense music playing]
In the past, due to less knowledge,
we made a lot of mistakes. But now,
I'm coming to Kaun Banega Crorepati
with my education and knowledge,
so I can avoid making any mistakes.
Now, my knowledge can help me recover from the mistakes I made.
[pleasant music playing]
[audience applauding]
- It is a big deal to realise your mistake. - Yes, sir.
- And correcting your mistake is truly commendable. - Yes, sir.
- Congratulations to you. - Thanks.
[audience applauding]
How did you...
I will call this an incident.
- Yes, sir. It was a serious incident. - And...
Before COVID,
we were living a peaceful and comfortable life.
We had no issues.
But as soon as COVID hit... We've always been tutoring.
Everyone is aware that teaching was a profession
that was the first to take a hit
- and last to start. - Yes.
Because of that,
we started investing in the share market.
Back then, there was a lot of chaos in the stock market too.
Because of that, we had to face a huge loss.
We have been struggling for the last four years.
We are under a lot of stress, so we have to work.
We can't manage to share even one proper meal together.
So, I want to use my knowledge
to earn good prize money
so that I can get rid of
- EMIs and other burdens. - To get rid of them.
After hearing this, there is pressure now.
But everyone watching your show today
will pray that
you come out of this problem as soon as possible.
And may you not face
these problems again.
- Yes, sir. - Okay! All right.
Forget about everything that has happened
or is happening.
- Okay. - Focus here.
You want to use your knowledge.
- Yes, sir. - You said that beautifully.
Am I right?
Let's move on in the game, Mansi.
Coming up is the sixth question.,
It is for Rs. 20,000.
The sixth question for Rs. 20,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Sir, please lock Option A, Salivary.
She wishes to lock A, Salivary.
It is the right answer. Congratulations!
Salivary glands produce saliva,
- which helps in digestion. - Yes.
They contain enzymes called salivary amylase.
Oh, okay!
I didn't know about this.
Thank you.
I've seen it come out of the corner of the mouth.
Right?
It happens even when we talk.
- It happens often while sleeping. - Yes.
It gets bothersome.
All right!
This is the nation's question.
So, let's see
which citizen will ask today's question.
The car is moving. It has reached Rajasthan.
[music playing]
Hello, Mr. Amit.
I am Pooja Rathi Dhoot.
I am from the Sun City of Rajasthan, Jodhpur.
This is your question.
Which superhero from the 2012 film
'The Dark Knight Rises'
had some of their scenes
filmed in Rajasthan?
Option A, Captain America.
Option B, Iron Man.
Option C, Batman.
And Option D, Deadpool.
Your time starts now!
[music playing]
Your time is up.
Mr. Computer, tell us who won.
Number 66.
It is you. Congratulations.
Please applaud.
First, tell me your name.
Sir, Vijay Kumar.
- Mr. Vijay Kumar, congratulations. - Thank you, sir.
What is the right answer?
- Batman, sir. - It was Batman.
- It was the right answer. Congratulations. - Thank you.
Here's a small gift for you.
Please accept it.
- Thank you so much. Let's give him a big hand. - Thank you.
Okay.
Let's move on, Mansi.
Next up is the seventh question. It is for Rs. 40,000.
The seventh question appears on your screen.
[music playing]
This is an image question. An image will be shown to you.
Here is the image.
It reads 'Light of India'.
I will give you the options.
You might have an idea about this.
Here are the options.
I think it is Matchbox.
Okay!
- What will you do? - Light of India.
Yes, sir. You light it.
The rest of the options have nothing to do with 'light'.
So, please lock C, Matchbox.
She wishes to lock C, Matchbox.
It is the right answer.
[audience applauding]
- Congratulations to you. - Thank you, sir.
Before the advent of uniform branding.
- Yes. - The matchboxes often featured
a variety of popular illustrations that showcased India's diversity.
- There were different illustrations on matchboxes. - Yes, sir.
Now even the matchboxes have brands.
- Yes. - Am I right? Okay!
Ladies and gentlemen, this image you saw
was courtesy of Penguin Random House India.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to them.
[audience applauding]
Let's move on to the eighth question.
- Okay? - Yes, sir.
The eighth question for Rs. 80,000 appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
S...
Here are the options. A...
I have seen this.
But I think it is Devi Yamuna.
Because it can't be Goddess Durga and Goddess Ganga.
Goddess Saraswati sits on a lotus.
It isn't Goddess Durga's.
Sir, please lock Devi Yamuna.
She wishes to lock B, Devi Yamuna.
What made you think that the answer is Devi Yamuna?
Because Devi...
It is not the other three options.
I used the elimination method.
Which is why I went with the answer Devi Yamuna.
Do you know about Goddess Ganga?
Yes.
- That image... - Yamuna and Ganga are rivers.
You are scaring me, sir.
[pensive music playing]
You won! It is the right answer.
Congratulations to you.
- Devi Yamuna is the embodiment of the river. - Yes.
Devi Yamuna represents the river, so
- it's fitting that her vehicle is a turtle. - A turtle.
Yes.
Your elimination was right.
- But because Ganga is a river... - Yes.
So, that could have been the answer.
- Devi Ganga's vehicle is a crocodile. - Yes, a crocodile.
All right!
Let's move on to the ninth question.
It is for Rs. 1,60,000.
This is the ninth question
for Rs. 1,60,000.
The ninth question is on the screen.
[music playing]
Sir, since the question is on health,
it is not UNESCO and WTO.
It is either Red Cross or WHO.
[clock ticking]
It is not UNESCO. It has to do with world heritage sites.
WTO oversees trading.
Sir, WHO.
- Will you go with it? - Yes.
The final answer is WHO.
Mr. Computer, lock C.
You had Double Dip.
You were confused
between two answers.
Because both the options,
WHO and Red Cross
- have to do with health... - Sir, WHO is connected with the UN.
- Yes. - Red Cross is not really connected with the UN.
Red Cross is universal.
- Yes, but the United Nations... - That is also universal.
WHO stands for World Health Organisation.
That is universal too.
[pensive music playing]
You won Rs. 1,60,000.
[audience applauding]
Well played!
You guessed it well.
With UNICEF and WHO's cooperation,
on 10th March 1954,
HAL became India's
first pharmaceutical manufacturing unit to
produce antibiotics like penicillin and streptomycin
on an industrial scale.
The unit was established.
WHO!
All right! It is time for another break, ma'am.
Mansi, the tenth question for Rs. 3,20,000 is next.
You have played beautifully until now.
Be careful now.
Please don't take any chances...
- Only once... - You won't get this opportunity again.
If you falter, you will fall to Rs. 10,000
and I know what you wish to do with the prize money
- that you will win today. - Very important.
The tenth question, the second threshold,
for Rs. 3,20,000,
all three lifelines intact,
appears on your screen now.
[music playing]
Options.
[clock ticking]
[sighs]
Sir, I do watch cricket,
but I really don't have an idea about this.
Um...
The name Renuka Singh sounds familiar.
- She is famous. Something like that. - Hmm.
If you find it hard, you have all three lifelines.
- Okay, sir. - You can use them.
- Sir, I'll take Audience Poll. - Okay. Please stop ticking.
She wishes to take Audience Poll. Please activate it, Mr. Computer.
Audience, your turn is here.
Your time starts now.
[music playing]
[buzzer sounds]
- D, Sneh Rana, got the majority of votes at 58%. - Yes.
I was thinking of that too.
What do you think?
The same thing.
- Did you think of it too? - Yes.
- Oh. - And the surname Rana...
Quickly tell me what it will be.
Sir, lock Sneh Rana. I'll go...
She wishes to lock D, Sneh Rana.
Well played, audience. It's the right answer.
Thank you. Thank you...
[audience applauding]
After Neetu David,
Sneh Rana is the second Indian woman
to accomplish this feat.
This match was played against South Africa in Chennai
and India won it.
- Okay. - Sneh Rana.
Well played, audience.
And, Mansi,
you answered ten questions correctly and won Rs. 3,20,000.
And a cheque is coming your way.
[audience applauding]

[audience applauding]
Congratulations, Mansi.
I know what value this money holds for you.
Sir, I have made my annual salary in a few minutes.
- Wow. Congratulations. - So, I am...
[audience applauding]
I believe that this money
will help you with your financial problems.
- It'll help. - It will help you
- get through your crisis. - Yes, sir.
You've won Rs. 3,20,000.
As you know,
once you cross ten questions, it's time for Super Sandook.
You now have another chance to win more prize money.
I'm sure you are familiar with Super Sandook.
Would you prefer the questions in English or Hindi?
- Sir, Hindi. - Hindi.
All right, be prepared.

Congratulations, Mansi.

'It has been about four years.'
'Sir, I've been preparing for IAS since 2020.'

Did they tell you in the interview that Australia has feral camels?
'Sir, we have a subject called Environment.'
'I am also a faculty'
'and teach that subject at an institution.'
'I've read about this in the newspaper too.'
'I have done extensive research'
'on what number of animals is the largest and where, sir.'
If you've done that, then it must be right.
It's the right answer!
Whoa!
[audience applauding]
Nobody would have guessed
that it was Australia.
- Congratulations. - 'Congratulations.'
She won Rs. 6,40,000 because of you.
'Sir, I want her to give me half when she returns. That's all, sir.'
[laughs]
- Well played, Ms. Gangwani. - 'Thank you, sir.'
Congratulations.
Australia has over ten lakh feral camels.
In the nineteenth century,
camels were predominantly
imported by Australia as a mode of transport.
Yes.
She was right, wow.
She helped you win Rs. 6,40,000.
She's gone. Don't give her Rs. 3,20,000.
[laughter]
- Or your game will be ruined. - Yes, sir.

[poignant music playing]
During my childhood,
when I would look at the other kids,
all the kids would go out during lunchtime
and play on the ground.
I would feel very lonely.
I would ask God
why do only I have these problems?
[solemn music playing]
He couldn't walk and he used to struggle a lot.
If we had to go anywhere,
then we would have to carry him.
We've struggled a lot for him.
[mellow music playing]
My grandpa has a very important role in my life.
Whatever I am today, is because of him.
He would say, 'If we let him'
'take the support of a wheelchair'
'or a walking stick,'
'then he will be dependent on someone'
'for the rest of his life.'
'He won't be able to become independent.'
[dramatic music playing]

[motivational music playing]
I'm coming to Kaun Banega Crorepati
because I want to earn money
for the treatment of my legs.
There may be many people like me
who are facing similar challenges like me.
I want them to realise
that if I can do it despite so many challenges,
then they can also do it.
[solemn music fades]
[audience applauding]
When I heard your grandpa speak,
- there was no doubt that a soldier was speaking. - Yes, sir.
He never gives up.
Keep trying.
You will certainly achieve something.
Now that you are
on KBC and are sitting on the Hot Seat,
which dreams would you like to fulfil?
Sir, I want to get a good treatment
for my physical disability.
At birth itself,
I had an extra growth on my hip due to Meningomyelocele.
- Okay. - And because of that growth,
I could not sleep on my back.
It was very tough and very painful.
When I was around six or seven months,
my family took me to the doctor
and showed the extra growth.
The doctor said
that it has to be surgically removed.
But inside the extra growth,
the nerves that go towards the legs
had got entangled into a complex network.
Due to that, while cutting the extra growth
during the surgery,
the nerves also got cut.
[solemn music playing]
And because of that
both of my legs
have become very weak.
And they could not
grow fully.
[solemn music playing]
What do the doctors say? Is this treatable?
Sir, it's like this now.
We have gathered a little bit of information.
But the cost of treatment is very high.
It's around ten to twelve lakhs.
- Okay. - It can reach that amount.
And we don't have any funds now.
That's why...
[solemn music playing]
[solemn music continues playing]
- There are several hospitals in Mumbai - Sir.
Which have doctors
- who are specialized in this. - Okay, sir.
They specialize in nerves.
- They treat the nerves. - Treat the nerves.
They are world famous.
- I have heard that about them. - Okay, sir.
If you give us
your information, then I will try
- Okay, sir. - Then I will,
speak to them
and see if I can
contribute in anyway to your treatment.
- I would like to do my bit. - Thank you, sir.
You see, Prashant,
there were a lot of accidents
- in my body too. - Okay, sir.
And they keep happening.
That is how I keep getting all this information.
- Recently, I found out. - Okay.
That on my hand
all the fingertips have become numb.
Oh, okay.
I was told,
'This is not good.' I said, 'Yes, I know it's not good.'
And...
In this context, I found out
that there is a doctor in Bombay Hospital
- Yes, sir. - who specializes in this. In fact, in all hospitals,
in big hospitals there are neurologists.
You can talk to them. I will take your details.
- Okay, sir. Thank you. - After the game. All right.
I hope you recover as soon as possible.
[audience applauding]
Who have you brought along with you today?
Sir, my father and younger brother are with me today.
Greetings to you.
Welcome to both of you, to our show.
All right. Prashant, I would like you to shift
- your focus towards the game. - Yes, sir.
You are aware of the rules.
You must have heard it and seen it many times.
There is no need to repeat them.

Oh, come on!

- We will have to end the game for today. - No problem, sir.
Whether it is life or a game, if doubt
makes its home in our mind
then we lose our near ones and our dreams too.
That is why always have faith in your minds.

we will take leave from you. Good night, good night, good night.
Thank you very much.
