The program has already passed 15 seasons and is running the 16th season at present with Amitabh Bachchan, the ever-popular actor hosting the show.

The happiness of the previous question has been followed with 7 crore-the question of who was the first child born to the English parents in North America in 1587. He had till now solved all questions correctly, but when he faced the question of 7 crore he just remained dumbfounded, unable to present an answer.

By now, he had already exhausted all his lifelines. He didn’t have any option but to leave the game. After leaving, Amitabh asked him to reveal the answer. Chander Prakash, who was sitting in the show and felt that Big B has wronged him, promptly declared the answer as option A, Virginia Dare. Big B confirmed that it was the correct answer. The discussion among the audience about how he missed 7 crore rupees he could have earned if he had not been a chickenshit and guessed the answer.
He had received many messages from viewers who said that if he had shown courage and replied earlier, then he would have received the prize money of 7 crores. Others felt that quitting without taking a risk was the correct thing to do.
