its

with
a
stellar
grand

episode.
The
special
episode
was
graced
by
eminent
personalities
and
celebrities
such
as
Aamir

MC
Mary
Kom
and
Sunil

along
with
India's
first
blade

In
tonight’s
(August
8)
episode,
Amitabh
Bachchan
introduced
the
first
set
of
contestants
of
KBC
Season
14.
Dulichand
Agarwal
from
Mumbai
became
the
first
contestant
to
join
the
host
on
the
hot
seat.
Agarwal
revealed
that
he
has
done
a
PhD
in
Economics
and
is
currently
serving
as
a
professor
at
a
college
in
Durg,
Madhya
Pradesh.
The
contestant
engaged
in
some
fun
banter
with
Big
B.
He
also
asked
the
host
to
call
him
DC
and
not
Dhulichand.
The
62-year-old
played
a
good
game.
However,
he
exhausted
all
his
lifelines
and
won
Rs
50
Lakh
by
the
end
of
the
first
episode.
Dulichand
will
resume
his
game
as
the
rollover
contestant
in
the
next
episode
and
will
attempt
the
Rs
75
Lakh
question.
It
must
be
noted
that
makers
have
introduced
a
new
prize
money
slot
of
Rs
75
Lakh
this
year,
in
order
to
help
the
contestants
take
home
a
larger
sum
of
money.
Meanwhile,
the
question
for
Rs
50
Lakh
faced
by
Dulichand
is
as
follows:
In
1953,
the
Parliamentary
election
of
which
country
was
held
under
the
charge
of
India's
first
Chief
Election
Ccommissioner?
It
came
with
the
following
options:
A)
Nepal,
B)
Afghanistan,
C)
Sudan,
and
D)
South
Africa.
The
contestant
ended
up
using
his
last
lifeline
(50:50)
for
the
aforementioned
question
and
won
the
amount.
The
correct
answer
is
C)
Sudan.
During
the
episode,
Dulichand
shared
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
owes
him
money
since
1970.
He
said,
"I
desired
to
see
your
film
'Muqaddar
ka
Sikandar'.
I
managed
to
procure
Rs
10
somehow
and
travelled
miles
to
a
theatre
after
making
all
possible
calculations
on
how
this
Rs
10,
would
be
spent
or
be
enough
for
the
film
to
be
seen,
I
stood
for
hours,
with
the
Rs
10
and
by
the
time
my
turn
came
to
the
Box
Office
window,
a
rush
for
tickets
and
the
stampede
of
the
audience,
resulted
in
the
Police
being
summoned.
I
got
pushed
as
police
did
'lathi
charge'
to
disperse
the
crowd.
I
fell
to
the
ground
and
had
a
head
injury.
I
swore
never
to
see
your
film
again
and
wished
to
narrate
this
incident
in
front
of
you
and
hoped
one
day
perhaps
we
could
see
the
film
together." Amitabh
gave
him
Rs
20
note
and
said,
"With
added
interest."
