Drama on the Hot Seat: Biplab Biswas and the Big KBC Moment
Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 is back with its usual mix of tension, tears and triumphs, and one contestant has viewers talking. Biplab Biswas walked into the hot seat and sailed through several rounds to reach a pivotal moment — the Rs 1 crore question. With the top prize standing at a dazzling Rs 7 crore this season, fans are asking: can Biplab keep his nerve and go all the way?
Who is Biplab Biswas?
Biplab Biswas, who caught the audience’s attention with his calm demeanor and steady quiz skills, has become one of the memorable faces of this KBC 17 run. While every contestant brings a personal story to the show, it’s their performance under pressure that makes or breaks the journey. Biplab’s clarity of thought and occasional wit have helped him navigate tricky questions and build momentum on the show.
The Rs 1 Crore Question — Can You Answer It?
Viewers at home were glued to their screens when the Rs 1 crore question appeared. This is the kind of question that separates confident contenders from those who choose to walk away. Before we reveal the answer, try it yourself:
- Question: Who wrote India’s national anthem, “Jana Gana Mana”?
- Options:
- A) Bankim Chandra Chatterjee
- B) Rabindranath Tagore
- C) Kavi Pradeep
- D) Harivansh Rai Bachchan
Think you know it? Keep your choice in mind — we’ll reveal the answer below with a short explanation.
Answer and a Quick Explanation
The correct answer is: B) Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore composed the verse that became India’s national anthem. A towering literary figure, he penned the song in Bengali and it was later adopted as the national anthem for India.
Will Biplab Go for Rs 7 Crore?
Reaching Rs 1 crore is a major milestone on KBC. From here, the questions typically grow tougher and the risk–reward decisions become more intense. Whether Biplab can push on towards the Rs 7 crore prize depends on several factors:
- Knowledge depth: The higher-value questions often require specialized or lateral- thinking knowledge.
- Use of lifelines: Smart use of 50:50, Ask The Audience, Phone-a-Friend (or newer formats introduced in the season) can change the game.
- Composure under pressure: Many contestants know the answer but panic; staying calm is half the battle.
- Risk appetite: Some players prefer to walk away with a guaranteed sum rather than gamble on an uncertain question.
Historically on KBC, reaching the final stretch is as much about temperament and tactics as it is about trivia. If Biplab plays smart and keeps his cool, there’s every chance he could edge closer to — or even attempt for — the Rs 7 crore jackpot. But one tough question is all it takes to change the outcome.
