Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati 15 is set to write history soon. 21-year-old Jaskaran Singh from Punjab is set to become the first crorepati of the season. A promo of the episode, however, leaves audiences guessing whether he would also win the grand prize of Rs 7 crore.

In a video shared by Sony TV, host Amitabh Bachchan spoke about how he has seen many contestants become crorepati on the show. However, when the big question for Rs 7 crore comes up, it not only leaves them but also audiences with bated breath. He then asks the 16th question worth Rs 7 crore to Jaskaran who is seen gulping water as he considers his options.

The 21-year-old contestant from Khalra, Punjab comes from a humble background and wants to give his family a better life. Jaskiran is a UPSC aspirant and comes from a family of caterers. The channel is yet to reveal whether he would attempt the Rs 7 crore question or quit at the Rs 1 crore mark. The Kaun Banega Crorepati episode featuring Singh on the hot seat will be aired on Tuesday and Wednesday, 4 and 5 September.
