In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, Anshuman Mathur and Paritosh Gupta challenge each other in the Challenger’s round. Paritosh wins the round and takes the hotseat.
He works as a Consultant with a Cyber security company. He lives in a chawl, which is lesser than 100 sq ft. He says, “I have lived there with my mom and dad. Now I have gotten married. My dream is to buy a home and with the money, I wish to fulfill that.”
The game begins with Rs 20,000 question: In Mumbai, which of these names refers to both a railway station and a racecourse? A. Goregaon, B. Parel, C. Mahalakshmi, D. Dadar.
He correctly answers option C.
Big B talks about the racecourse and says that often people go there and get addicted. Then he shares an interesting story saying, “I am saying all this because there was a time, when I used to work in Kolkata, there is also a race course. I used to earn Rs 300-400 but it was no enough for a living. I used to visit that race course in hope of earning from extra money. I would also share everything with my parents and I told them about my visit to the race course. They didn’t say anything but I received a letter from my father and he wrote, ‘dhan kop rapt karne ke liye jab tak khoon paseena na nikle usko prapt nahi karna chahiye’. It was his indication that I should never visit that place and I obeyed.”
He uses his first lifeline – audience poll for Rs 40,000 question and correctly answers it.
Big B asks him about his dream home. He says, “At least Rs 1cr is required to buy 1BHK. But atleast I would wish to win enough for down payment.”
