Kaun Banega Crorepati 16: Contestant Zoha talks about running 42kms marathon; host Amitabh Bachchan recalls ‘I would also participate in college but we would stop at sweet shops’

The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 featured Zoha Fatima from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, who secured her place on the hot seat after winning the Fastest Finger First round.
A brilliant student, Zoha cleared NEET and is currently studying at the Armed Forces Medical College. Sharing her aspirations, she said, “I can join the army, and I find it fascinating. I love the uniform and the discipline it represents. Being a doctor itself is a noble profession, and serving in the army adds another layer of purpose.”

Host Amitabh Bachchan acknowledged her passion and added, “All that is fine, but I believe the most important thing is discipline. If it were possible, I think every citizen should undergo military-style training for at least three months. It would be a great experience.”
As the game began, Zoha’s first question for Rs 1000 was: Which of these is not commonly sweet in taste? A. Jalebi, B. Gulab Jamun, C. Kachori, D. Rasmalai.
She correctly answered option C – Kachori.

Discussing her disciplined life at the Army college, Zoha shared her experience, prompting Big B to recall a shoot at a military academy. He noted how cadets followed a strict schedule, including designated meal times. Curious, he asked Zoha if she maintained the same routine at home. She laughed and admitted that the disciplined lifestyle usually lasted for only about half an hour.
During the Super Sawaal round, Zoha was asked: In which city would you come across the Bara Imambara and the Rumi Darwaza?

She correctly answered Lucknow, winning the Dugnaastra.
Zoha also revealed that she ran a full 42km marathon and ranked third. Shocked, Big B humorously recalled his college days, saying, “We had marathons too, but we took them as a joke. We would run only to stop at sweet shops along the way!”
The game continued with excitement.
