Punjab youth brings laurels: It’s a dream come true for UPSC candidate Jaskaran Singh, 21, of Khalra, Punjab, who is expected to become the season’s first crorepati in the forthcoming season.
The most popular Indian television game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati” (KBC), the Indian equivalent of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” presented by Amitabh Bachchan, is about to make history when 21-year-old Jaskaran Singh from Punjab becomes the first crorepati of KBC Season 15.
A Sony TV promo leaves viewers wondering and guessing whether or not a Punjab kid would win Rs 7 crore.
Punjab youth leaves the audience and viewers impatient, and Jaskaran Singh can be seen uncomfortable and attempting other answers to the question.
“Paar kar har mushkil Punjab ke chhote se gaon Khalra se aaye Jaskaran pahunch chuke hain iss khel ke sabse bade 7 crore ke sawaal par!” Sony TV posted on Twitter.
Who exactly is Jaskaran Singh?
Jaskaran Singh, a 21-year-old competitor from Punjab’s Khalra, comes from an impoverished household and aspires to provide a better and better life for his family. Jaskaran Singh is currently studying for the UPSC exam and will take his first UPSC exam next year.
Singh’s father is a seasonal caterer, his grandfather has a street food cart, and his grandmother operates a small grocery store.
As the family’s eldest son, Jaskaran Singh aspires to provide a better and more comfortable lifestyle for his family.
The Kaun Banega Crorepati episode with Singh in the hot seat will air on September 4 and 5.
Notably, KBC features participants answering a series of increasingly difficult multiple-choice questions for cash rewards, with the ultimate objective of winning one crore (ten million) Indian rupees. KBC has garnered enormous popularity in India and has played a significant role in transforming the lives of many participants who have won large sums of money.
