Entertainment: What was KBC 13's ₹7-cr question that wasn't answered by Sahil Ahirwar?

Mumbai: Every night, we sit in front of our TV screens at 9 to watch Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati 13. The quiz show, which is in its 13th season, is immensely popular, not only because it gives fans a chance to win up to Rs 7 crore but because it also gives an opportunity to fans to get to know Big B up close and personal.

Tonight, rollover contestant Sahil Ahirwar, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, took over the hotseat. He started playing the game from the ninth question for Rs 1,60,000.

Sahil won Rs 1 crore tonight. He also went on to attempt the 16th question for Rs 7 crore but was unable to guess the right answer. After his exit, Pallavi Mahida came on the hotseat to play the game. She won Rs 40,000 tonight and will continue to play tomorrow.
