Host Amitabh Bachchan was left surprised when a contestant of his show Kaun Banega Crorepati 14 got an answer wrong after following the suggestion of an expert.
Divit Bhargava, a KBC 14 junior contestant from Bengaluru, was on the hot seat and he was not sure about the answer for the Rs 6,40,000 question. The question was, “In which field has a husband-wife pair not been awarded the Nobel Prize jointly?” Since he was not sure about the answer, Divit decided to use the ‘Ask an Expert‘ lifeline. The expert for the episode was Mr Srijan Pal Singh, who served as advisor to late Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam and is a well-known lecturer, scientist and author.
Although Srijan was not sure about his answer, he suggested Divit to go with option D, which was Physics. However, the correct answer was option B – Peace. This brought Divit back to Rs 3,20,000 prize money, which he took home. (Indian Express)
