Kumar
Singh
grace
the
hot
seat.
The
30-year-old,
who
suffers

a

called

commenced
the

of
KBC

will
be
seen
fulfilling
the
wishes
and
dreams
of
the
contestants
and
the
live
audience
this
week.
Pankaj
is
a
student
from
Korea,
Chhatisgarh
and
he
was
accompanied
by
his
parents
on
the
quiz
show.
The
contestant
played
a
good
game
and
won
Rs
12.5
lakh
with
no
lifeline
in
hand.
However,
he
wasn’t
sure
of
the
answer
to
the
13th
question
and
decided
to
quit
the
game
show.
The
Rs
25
Lakh
question
that
stumped
Pankaj
is
as
follows:
In
which
present-day
district
did
Shuja-ud-Daula
build
the
Chhota
Calcutta
fort
in
the
eighteenth
century?
It
came
with
the
following
options:
A)
Amethi,
B)
Ayodhya,
C)
Murshidabad
and
D)
Varanasi.
The
correct
answer
is
B)
Ayodhya.
Meanwhile,
during
the
episode,
Pankaj
spoke
to
his
crush
on
actress
Genelia
D'Souza.
Host
Amitabh
Bachchan
decided
to
surprise
the
contestant
and
connected
him
to
his
crush.
Pankaj
was
elated
to
interact
with
the
actress
and
the
first
question
he
asked
her
was
why
she
got
married
so
early.
He
said,
“Since
the
day
I
have
seen
you,
you
have
been
my
first
crush,
love
and
everything.”
Genelia
then
replied
by
saying,
“Pankaj,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
love
and
I
want
to
tell
you
I
love
you
too.”
The
actor’s
sweet
message
left
her
fan
blushing.
On
the
other
hand,
the
contestant
also
opened
up
about
suffering
from
Juvenile
Ankylosing
Spondylitis
and
revealed
that
he
has
been
facing
his
problem
since
he
was
in
class
8
and
the
condition
became
severe
when
he
was
in
class
12.
Pankaj
shared
with
Mr
Bachchan
that
his
main
aim
to
come
on
KBC
13
was
to
earn
respect
and
win
an
amount
so
that
he
doesn't
have
to
financially
depend
on
anyone
in
the
future.
He
also
revealed
that
he
will
have
to
live
with
his
condition
for
the
rest
of
his
life
and
will
have
to
consume
medicines
forever.
