Imagine this. You’re on the hot seat, a tough question stands between you and a huge prize, so you ask for help. But what happens when the help is just… wrong? That’s exactly what happened to Shaurya Sarda on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17.
Shaurya Sarda, a contestant from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, wasn’t your average player. This guy is a certified genius. Seriously. He’s in the Limca Book of Records for identifying the days of 95 different dates in just 5 minutes.
And that’s not all. He also holds a Guinness World Record for correctly identifying the currency symbols of 71 countries. So yeah, you’d expect him to go far.
When The Crowd Gets It Wrong
Things were going great until he hit the question for Rs 7,50,000 points. The question was: Who discovered the planet Uranus in 1781? A tricky one for sure.
Feeling unsure, Shaurya did what many contestants do. He used the Audience Poll lifeline. You’d think hundreds of people would get it right, wouldn’t you?

Look, the audience overwhelmingly pointed him towards option D, Johannes Kepler. Trusting the poll, Shaurya locked in the answer. But the correct answer was actually option C, William Herschel. A devastating miss.
A Tough Lesson Learned
Because of that one wrong answer from the crowd, Shaurya’s game ended right there. He had to walk away with his previous winnings of Rs 5 lakh. It’s a huge drop from what could have been.
Even host Amitabh Bachchan had to admit it. He reminded everyone that sometimes, just sometimes, the audience poll can lead you astray. It’s not always a guaranteed win.
What a turn of events. A record-holding brain, stumped by a lifeline that’s supposed to save you. So what do you think? Would you have trusted the audience poll on a question that valuable?
