As the show progressed, Mr. Bachchan read out the Rs 1 crore question for Nareshi. The question was, "Whom did Leela Row Dayal beat to become the first Indian woman to win a singles match at the Wimbledon Tennis Championship?" After a lot of thinking, Nareshi admitted that she was confused between two options, Option B and Option D. Despite the immense pressure, she decided to play it safe rather than risk losing a significant amount of money. She chose to quit the game and took home her winnings of Rs 50 lakhs.

 
After announcing her decision to quit, Nareshi guessed Option A) Lottie Dod, but it was revealed that the correct answer was Option B) Gladys Southwell.

He also acknowledged the emotional strength she displayed throughout the game, which deeply resonated with the audience and viewers alike.

Reflecting on her journey, Nareshi shared in a press statement that her experience on KBC had been life-changing. She mentioned that she had always watched the show, knowing it had the power to transform lives, and deep down, she believed it could do the same for her. Her goal in participating in the show was to win the prize money necessary for her proton therapy without further burdening her parents, who had already done so much for her.
