Aditya Kumar KBC 17

A participant named Aditya Kumar made headlines in the most recent season of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) by earning Rs 1 crore and trying the Rs 7 crore question, demonstrating incredible bravery and intelligence.

KBC's official streaming partner posted a teaser for the next episode on their social media site, X. Aditya Kumar from Uttarakhand is the first competitor of the season to win Rs 1 crore, according to the most recent ad released by Sony TV. He even attempts to answer the Rs 7 crore jackpot question, but it is still unknown if he will be able to earn the grand reward.

Aditya Kumar, the contestant, told presenter Amitabh Bachchan a funny story about how he once tricked his college pals into getting ready for a fake shoot by pretending he was chosen for KBC. His buddies were dubious when he showed them the official message after he actually received the call this time. Both Big B and the audience were enthralled with Aditya's transformation from a lighthearted practical joker to a serious competitor on the hot seat. Aditya's accomplishment as Season 17's first crorepati is noteworthy. Despite the hazards, he decided to attempt the final Rs 7 crore question rather than stop at Rs 1 crore. Let's see if taking this chance will pay off for him or not.
