The November 15 episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 welcomed 11-year-old Alinah Patel to the hot seat opposite host Amitabh Bachchan. Hailing from Mumbai, she won the fastest-finger-first round and participated in the Students Special Week of KBC 12.

Alinah Pandey displayed her intelligence on the show and even Amitabh Bachchan praised the little girl. She opened up about how she wanted to be an engineer once but then gave up on it after watching 3 Idiots. She then said that she set her eyes on being an astronaut, but once her father told her how difficult it is, she decided otherwise. Big B soon called Alinah baatuni and the contestant also complained that the actor was favouring her younger sister who was there to support her.

Amitabh shared his favourite chaat place in the world in the episode and it is in New Delhi. He said that during his college days, he would frequently visit the Bengali market and gorge on chaat.

As for Alinah, she played a splendid game but got stuck at the question for Rs 25 lakh. Unable to answer it, she took home a prize money of Rs 12.5 lakh.

The Rs 25 lakh question that made Alinah quit the show was:

Princess Catherine of Portugal was married to which British monarch who was given Bombay as part of his dowry?

The options were: Charles I, Charles II, James III, William III

The correct answer was: Charles II

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan shared that just like other children around the world, his granddaughter Aaradhya too has been doing her classes online. He then revealed that once when he entered Aaradhya’s room while her online class was on, he spotted her doing yoga. When asked about what she was doing, he was sent away for the purpose of discipline.
