In
a
recent
episode
of
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
12,
Ruchika
Tripathi
from
Haldwani,
Uttar
Pradesh
took
to
the
hot
seat
with
Amitabh
Bachchan.
A
Research
Officer
at
an
NGO,
Ruchika
revealed
that
the
last
two
years
have
been
very
difficult
for
her
and
her
family
as
they
had
to
repay
many
debts
and
loans.
The
contestant
also
confessed
that
she
feels
that
her
family's
financial
condition
would
have
been
better
if
she
had
chosen
another
career.
Mr
Bachchan
was
amazed
when
he
got
to
know
that
Ruchika
chose
Genetics
and
Anthropology
as
her
subjects
for
higher
education
and
is
seen
asking
details
about
it.
Ruchika
reveals
that
she
is
worried
about
her
parents'
old
age
and
their
financial
condition
and
this
prompted
her
to
come
on
KBC.
During
the
game,
Big
B
asks
Ruchika
why
the
seat
of
the
companion
is
empty
and
didn't
she
get
anyone
with
her
for
the
show.
She
replies
by
revealing
that
her
father
Jagat
Narayan
Tripathi
had
accompanied
her.
However,
on
arriving
here,
he
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
and
as
a
result,
he
was
isolated
and
could
not
make
it
to
the
show.
She
adds
that
he
was
very
eager
to
meet
him
and
Bachchan
through
the
show
prayed
for
his
recovery.
Eventually,
Ruchika
couldn’t
answer
the
25-lakh
rupee
question
as
she
was
unaware
of
the
answer
and
had
already
exhausted
all
her
lifelines
by
then.
As
a
result,
after
having
Ruchika
decided
to
quit
the
show
and
took
home
12.5
lakh
rupees
