By Sachin Kaushik 20-Sep-2019

Episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 11 dated 19-09-2019 was anything but ordinary. The show's host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed the second crorepati of season. Babita Tade, a cook from Amravati, became the second contestant of the season to win a prize of Rs. 1 crore. Babita Tade's journey has been nothing short of inspirational. Ms Tade revealed that she cooks food for over 450 schoolchildren in government school, for which she gets a salary of Rs. Rs. 1,500. The question that fetched Babita Rs. 1 crore was: "Which poet in the court of Mughal ruler Bahadur Shah Zafar, wrote the Dastan-e-Ghadar, a personal account of 1857 Revolt?" Babita, who wasn't quite sure about the answer, used her final lifeline and sought the expert's help and she emerged victorious.

The final question, called the "jackpot question" for the night was: "Which of these states has had the most number of its governors become presidents of India?" Babita, who wasn't very confident, decided to quit the game. However, when Big B asked her to guess the right answer, Ms Tade said, "Bihar," which was in fact the right answer.
