Ever faced a choice so big it could change everything? Well, a young sixth-grader from Noida just did, right in front of millions on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17. And his decision has everyone talking.
Meet Vivaan Srivastava. He’s a math enthusiast, a foodie, and apparently, an incredibly smart game show player. This young contestant from Uttar Pradesh played with a calmness that impressed even the host, Amitabh Bachchan.
He didn’t just play well; he played brilliantly. Vivaan confidently crossed the ₹5 lakh mark without using a single lifeline. Think about that. He also aced the Super Sandook round, bagging ₹80,000 and reviving his “Ask the Expert” lifeline, just in case.
The ₹50 Lakh Stumper
Everything was going perfectly. Then came the question for 50 lakh points. A question that could have doubled his winnings to a massive sum. But it could also have dropped him way down if he got it wrong.
Here’s what the screen showed: “What are the oldest known minerals found on earth?”
The options were:
- A. Beryls
- B. Feldspars
- C. Zircons
- D. Tremolites

You could feel the tension. Vivaan thought hard. He later explained he was torn between two options, B and C. Taking that kind of risk is tough for anyone, let alone a sixth-grader. So what did he do?
Right Answer, No Regrets
He made a strategic call. Vivaan decided to quit the game. He locked in his winnings of ₹25 lakh, a massive achievement. A smart, safe play.
But here’s the thing. Before leaving the hot seat, Amitabh Bachchan asked him what he would have chosen. Vivaan took a guess. He said his answer would have been C. Zircons.
And guess what? It was the right answer. Bachchan himself confirmed it. Instead of regret, there was only praise. The host lauded Vivaan’s maturity and smart decision-making, calling his gameplay “exceptional for his age.”
He walked away with ₹25 lakh, proving that sometimes the smartest move isn’t about taking the biggest risk, but knowing when to walk away. So, what do you think? Did he make the right choice?
