The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 saw Pranshu Tripathi, a 28-year-old contestant hailing from Umariya, Madhya Pradesh, attempt a question that would have made him the second crorepati of the season. However, he had to quit the game after he failed to guess the correct answer to the question. Not wanting to take a risk, he decided to quit Amitabh Bachchan’s quiz show.

The question that Tripathi could not answer was, “The royal ship, Ganj-i-Sawai, which was looted by the British pirate Henry Every, was the property of which Indian ruler?” The four options were: Tipu Sultan, Haider Ali, Aurangzeb and Baji Rao II.

After Pranshu gave up, Bachchan announced the correct answer to the question, which was Aurangzeb, and shared some trivia around it too in his signature style. He said, “On September 7, 1965, when Ganj-i-Sawai was heading back from Mecca, the pirate Henry Every seized the ship. It is considered one of the most high-value heists by a pirate. This heist not only made the Mughal king lose gems and wealth but also most of his artillery crew.”
