KBC 12: Can you answer 12 questions faced by the season’s first contestant Aarti Jagtap?

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan returned to the small screen with the new season of popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati on Monday. The twelfth season of the show began with a few changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of the usual 10, KBC 12 had eight contestants in the fastest finger first round to maintain social distancing between the participants. There was also no live audience. The first contestant to take the hot seat was Aarti Jagtap who used all her lifelines by the ninth question, but managed to answer two more questions to win Rs 6,40,000. However, the 12th question worth Rs 12,50,00 made Aarti quit the quiz show.
