What the Hotseat Reveals
The KBC Season 17 episode on October 1, 2025, showcased the thrilling highs and difficult decisions contestants face. From ancient epics to art history, the challenges were diverse and demanding, proving that only the sharpest minds truly thrive under the spotlight.
- Shraddha’s ₹7.5 Lakh Ramayana Challenge: Contestant Shraddha found herself stumped by a question about the revered Hindu epic, the Ramayana. The question was: “According to the Valmiki Ramayana, who did Lord Rama send as a messenger to Sugreev to remind him of his promise to search for Goddess Sita?”
- A Crucial Lifeline: Struggling for an answer, Shraddha utilized a lifeline. The hint revealed that the messenger had accompanied Lord Rama into exile. This crucial clue helped her identify the correct answer: Lakshman. She successfully secured ₹7.5 lakh.
- Her KBC Journey Ends: After this win, Shraddha bravely proceeded to the ₹25 lakh question. However, she ultimately chose to quit the game, taking home a respectable total of ₹12.50 lakh.
- Kailash’s ₹1 Crore Standoff: In the same gripping episode, contestant Kailash Rambhau Kuntewad demonstrated impressive knowledge, successfully answering 14 questions and reaching ₹50 lakh. His journey led him to the coveted ₹1 crore question.
- The Ultimate Art Question: The challenging ₹1 crore question was related to a painting titled ‘Invention of the Printing Press’ by artist Vivian Forbes. Faced with this high-stakes decision, Kailash Rambhau Kuntewad opted to quit, securing his ₹50 lakh winnings.
