UPSC Aspirant Quits Rs 1 Crore KBC Question Over Wording Doubts
In the August 19 episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, 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 others. Sahu doubted the question's wording, believing it should have referred to a mare if Princess Beautiful was correct. The host confirmed Princess Beautiful as the right answer, noting it was indeed a mare.
