Father of One Wins Big, Loses Bigger on Kaun Banega Crorepati

In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, which aired on October 23, 2025, contestant Rachit Uppal continues his impressive run on the show. Uppal, who is a father, begins the episode by correctly answering the ₹25 lakh question about the youngest-ever winner of a National Film Award. He then goes on to win the ₹50 lakh question, identifying Bauxite as a mineral named after a French village where it was first discovered.

However, Uppal's luck takes a turn when he risks his ₹1 crore question. He incorrectly answers about a 1973 underwater rescue, dropping his winnings down to ₹5 lakh. During the episode, host Amitabh Bachchan asks Uppal about the changes in his life since becoming a father. Uppal explains that while his workload and household responsibilities have increased, seeing his child's face makes it all worthwhile. He also expresses gratitude for the support of his wife and parents.

Despite the dramatic twist, Uppal's journey on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 has been an eventful one, showcasing his knowledge and resilience on the show.
