Amitabh Bachchan.
One of the most popular TV shows ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’ has changed the lives of many people overnight. The show has seen many struggle and success stories. It has also fulfilled the dreams of many people. At the same time, the live audience present in this show has also played an important role for many years. In the last several years, the public has been a great support to the contestants in getting one step closer to their goal. For the KBC contestants sitting on the hot seat opposite megastar Amitabh Bachchan, ‘Audience Poll’ lifeline has been helpful in climbing the stairs of dreams. Recently, in the latest episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’, something happened which is rarely seen in this show – even the audience could not answer the question correctly and the flow of play of the contestants became a big hindrance.
Mansi Laheru stuck after choosing audience poll
Mansi Laheru of Rajkot, Gujarat reached the hot seat in the episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’ telecast on Monday. She was playing the game very intelligently, but she got stuck on the 12th question, the question for Rs 12 lakh 50 thousand was – ‘Which play of William Shakespeare was adapted into Hindi by Bharatendu Harishchandra under the name ‘Durlabh Bandhu’?’ The options were- A: Hamlet, B: The True Gentleman of Verona, C: The Merchant of Venice, D: The Comedy of Errors.
At this time Mansi had two lifelines left and she chose the audience poll. In the results of the audience poll, most people voted for option B, ‘The True Gentleman of Verona’, but Mansi was not satisfied with this answer. She also took the ‘double dip’ lifeline, through which she could choose two answers. As soon as they locked option B, it went wrong. A very rare incident happened with Mansi in the show and the answer chosen by the audience turned out to be wrong. After this, Mansi chose option C, which turned out to be correct and she somehow won Rs 12 lakh 50 thousand. Without taking any further risk he quit and won a total of Rs 12 lakh 50 thousand. However, do you know that this was not the first time that the live audience of KBC 16 has disappointed the contestants.
Sandhya Gupta could win only Rs 10 thousand
In the 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Sandhya Gupta from Alwar, Rajasthan also got cheated by the ‘Audience Poll’ Lifeline. She had easily won 10 thousand, but got stuck on the question of 40 thousand. They chose an audience poll and most of the audience sitting in the studio voted for Option C. After listening to the audience, Sandhya got this option locked and her answer turned out to be wrong. As soon as his answer was declared wrong, there was silence in the studio. Amitabh Bachchan also felt very bad for Sandhya and had to ask her to get down from the hot seat.
Shobhika Shree also failed by live audience
In KBC 16 itself, the ‘Audience Poll’ had also played a trick on Shobhika Shri, a resident of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Shobhika, who had won Rs 3 lakh 20 thousand, attempted a question worth Rs 6 lakh 40 thousand. He had only one lifeline left – audience poll. Due to not knowing the correct answer, Shobhika chose this lifeline and the audience poll proved wrong. He had to leave the game after winning Rs 3 lakh 20 thousand. ‘Audience Poll’ has been quite reliable in the record of Kaun Banega Crorepati and contestants mostly use this lifeline in the beginning of the game, but in KBC 16, this lifeline trapped the contestants thrice.
