KBC 18: The latest episode of Amitabh Bachchan-hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 featured a contestant from Bengaluru, Karnataka, who attempted the 13th question for Rs 25 lakh. Kritagaya Nayar reached the hot seat on Monday’s episode, but his gameplay started on Tuesday. An IIT Roorkee graduate, Kritagaya revealed that he works at Adobe and is also a content creator with his wife, an AI researcher.

Kritagaya managed to answer the first 12 questions of the game, but it was the 13th question that left him stumped. For Rs 25 lakh, he was asked: Which item that belonged to ISRO scientist Nandini Harinath is displayed at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum? The options were: A pair of spectacles, a saree, a diary, a handbag.

Kritagaya was not sure about the answer so he quit the game and walked away with Rs 12.5 lakh. Upon quitting, when he was asked to guess the correct answer, he guessed ‘a saree’, which was the correct answer.

About Nandini Harinath

Nandini Harinath was the deputy operations director for Mangalyaan, India’s maiden Mars Orbiter Mission. On December 1, 2013, when Mangalyaan left Earth’s orbit and began its journey towards Mars, Nandini was wearing a red and blue saree. Nandini’s saree became the first object from India for the museum’s interplanetary science collection. It was also the first saree that they ever displayed.
