Anupa Das, a schoolteacher from Chattisgarh became the third woman to win Rs 1 crore on the latest episode of the quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. Two more contestants of KBC 12 – Nazia Nasim from Delhi and IPS officer Mohita Sharma -- have become crorepatis by answering the Rs 1 crore question correctly.
The freshly minted crorepati Anupa Das revealed on the show that the quiz money will be used to meet the expenses of her mother’s cancer treatment.
By the time Anupa Das had reached the Rs 1 crore question, she had used three of her four lifelines and was left only with the ‘fifty-fifty’ lifeline. She used it to answer the Rs 1 crore question correctly and became the third crorepati contestant of the 12th edition of KBC.
The correct answer was Major Shaitan Singh.

As the game proceeded, Anupa chose to opt out of answering the Rs 7 crore question, which was: “In One Day International cricket, which team have Riaz Poonawala and Shaukat Dukanwala represented?” The answer was “United Arab Emirates” and it so turned out that the contestant had guessed it right.
