IIT Topper Yogesh Sahu Quits Rs 1 Crore KBC Question on Indian Derby Horse
In Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, IIT Bombay topper and UPSC aspirant Yogesh Sahu reached the Rs 1 crore question but chose to quit, securing Rs 50 lakh. The question asked which horse owned by the Maharaja of Baroda won the first Indian Derby in 1943, with options including Princess Beautiful and Prince Pradeep. Sahu ruled out Princess Beautiful, reasoning the question should have said mare if that were correct. The actual answer was Princess Beautiful, a mare, as confirmed by host Amitabh Bachchan.
