So, what would you do for Rs 25.5 lakhs? Would you risk it all on one tough question? That’s the exact spot 11-year-old Angel Naithani found herself in on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17. And her story is one you have to hear.
Angel, a sharp sixth-grade student from Garhwal, Uttarakhand, just made history. She became the first girl from her region to ever reach the KBC hot seat during the Junior Special. And she didn’t just sit there. She played a brilliant game, impressing everyone, including host Amitabh Bachchan himself.
Here’s the thing. She was strategic. Angel powered through the Super Sandook segment, correctly answering all five questions which cleverly allowed her to revive her audience poll lifeline. You could see she wasn’t just guessing; she was thinking, planning every move on her way to a huge payday.
The Question That Changed Everything
Everything was going perfectly. She climbed the money tree, question after question. Then she hit the big one: a question worth a whopping INR 25.5 lakhs. But it was a seriously tough mythology question. Ready for it?
The question was: “In Hindu mythology, the asura Muka had taken what form before he was shot by Lord Shiva?”

Tough, right? Angel thought so too. Instead of taking a wild guess and losing everything, she made the incredibly mature decision to quit the game. She walked away with an amazing INR 12,50,000. The correct answer, by the way, was “Wild boar.”
A Star on a Star-Studded Night
Look, her appearance on October 13, 2025, was already part of a massive episode. It was a continuation of Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday celebrations on set. Before Angel took the hot seat, she was a rollover contestant from a segment that featured another junior, Ishit Bhatt.
Just before her turn, special guests Javed Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar were on the hot seat and had just won INR 50 lakhs. So, the energy was already sky-high. But Angel Naithani completely held her own and created her own unforgettable KBC moment.
But honestly, what a smart player. To know your limits at just 11 years old and walk away with that kind of money is the real win. What would you have done in her place? Would you have risked it?
