KBC 18: SSC aspirant from Dharavi wins enough to buy a home, to attempt Rs 1 cr question

Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 recently showcased a contestant from Mumbai's Dharavi area who won Rs 25 lakh, leaving viewers amazed. Ruchita Adhalrao, an SSC aspirant, shared her family's struggle to pay rent for a cramped 10-by-10-foot room in the Dharavi slum. Using only two lifelines during her game, she secured the substantial prize, setting her sights on attempting the Rs 1 crore question on an upcoming episode.

The 13th question, tackled with the 50:50 lifeline, asked about the original name of Fort William in Kolkata. Among the choices of William of Orange, William Rufus, William the Conqueror, and William the Silent, Ruchita confidently guessed William of Orange, which turned out to be the correct answer. In her revealing interview, Ruchita expressed her family's financial hardships, emphasizing her father's limited earnings as a patient caretaker.

Her ultimate goal is to secure a government job to lift her family out of poverty. Ruchita's home, lacking basic amenities such as a bed, reflects the dire financial situation of her family. Despite the challenges, she remains determined to pursue her dreams, including studying for the SSC exam through free resources like YouTube videos.

Praising her dedication, Ruchita's father commended her sincerity in academics. The upcoming episode promises to take Ruchita's quest for a life-changing Rs 1 crore question to the next level.
