KBC 17: Will Mithilesh be able to fulfil the wish of his siblings by answering the question of Rs 50 lakhs?

One of the most popular quiz shows in India, Kaun Banega Crorepati, is back this year with its seventeenth season. The show, which is hosted by none other than the renowned Amitabh Bachchan, never fails to uplift and amuse viewers nationwide.

Since its debut season, KBC has evolved beyond a simple quiz show to a platform where regular people with remarkable tales come forward to test their knowledge, talk about their hardships, and try to win the game-changing prize.

Thousands of people aspire to sit on the hot seat each year in the hopes of winning the KBC title and earning the Rs 7 crore grand prize. There have been several inspirational contenders with lofty goals this season as well. One such man is introduced to viewers in the most recent KBC promo.

After winning the fastest finger first round, Mithilesh—who is from the small Bihar hamlet of Nawada—found himself on the hot seat with Amitabh Bachchan. He talks about his difficulties and the reason he attended the show. The candidate continues by saying that Mithilesh took on the role of caring for his younger sibling after losing both of his parents.

His only goal, in spite of his own struggles, is to provide his sibling a better and more promising future. He continues by discussing the close relationship he has with his younger sibling. He reveals that even though they are not the same age, his younger brother joins him in celebrating his birthday too on the same day. His sibling, who is still very small, aspires to attend an English-medium school, he continues.

However, Mithilesh, who finds it tough to make ends meet, believes that achieving this objective is extremely challenging. He also recalls being asked to purchase a bicycle by his sibling. Mithilesh sobs as he shares this, acknowledging that he does not even have enough money to grant his wish. Then, as Mithilesh answers a question for Rs 50 lakh, the commercial intensifies to a stressful moment. With his signature flair, Amitabh Bachchan asks him, Lock kiya jaye? leaving the viewers wondering what will happen next.

It will be interesting to see if Mithilesh is able to answer this question or not.
