take
to
the
hot
seat.

He
was
accompanied
by
his

also
a

posted
in

Ashutosh
played
a
good
game
until
he
reached
the
Rs
25
lakh
question.
The
contestant
had
successfully
cleared
the
Rs
12.5
lakh
with
the
help
of

The
Expert
lifeline.
However,
he
gave
an
incorrect

to
the

question
and
came
down
to
Rs
3.2
lakh.
The
Rs
25
lakh

is
as
follows:

grounds
after

in

It
came

Jaffer
Sharief,

Nitish
Kumar
and

Narayan
Mishra.
The
correct
answer
is
C)
Nitish
Kumar.
Meanwhile,
during
the
episode,
contestant
Ashutosh
Shukla
really
impressed
Amitabh
Bachchan
with
his
confidence.
The
megastar,
being
the
fun
host
he
is,
was
also
seen
enquiring
about
Ashutosh’s
equation
with
his
wife
on
the
show.
Mr
Bachchan
even
sided
with
the
contestant
and
said
wives
keep
calling,
asking
for
our
whereabouts
all
the
time.
He
jokingly
added
that
it's
the
same
story
in
every
household.
Meanwhile,
when
Ashutosh
complained
about
his
wife
not
taking
take
enough
leaves
to
spend
time
with
him,
Big
B
ended
up
speaking
in
her
favour.
At
this
point,
the
contestant
told
the
host:
"Your
answers
are
diplomatic.
Whose
side
are
you
on?" This
sent
the
audience
into
a
fit
of
laughter
as
Mr
Bachchan
replied:
"The
wife
is
always
right."
The
episode
also
witnessed
roll-over
contestant
Kinnori
Joshi
complete
her
game
and
take
home
a
cash
prize
of
Rs
3.2
lakh.
