The Narula brothers, Achin and Sarthak, became the
first ever contestants to win the highest prize of Rs 7 crore in reality
game show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', hosted by Bollywood megastar Amitabh
Bachchan.
The Narula brothers, who hail from Delhi, emerged
victorious after answering all the 14 questions correctly with the help
of four lifelines.
Achin is a marketing manager and Sarthak is a
student. Achin has been trying to be a part of the iconic show for the
last 10 years but always fell short of being selected for the fastest
finger first contest.
Bachchan, 71, hinted about the big win on his official blog and Twitter handle while posting his pictures from the show.
He
wrote, "It is a topsy turvy world tonight and KBC is the one that needs
to be blamed!! What incredible moments, what brilliance and what an
incredible play ...! That is all I am permitted to say."
"The
beauty and the excitement of KBC at its very maximum! Just an incredible
moment," Bachchan tweeted, followed by a photograph from the sets of
the show featuring the winners.
"Bazuumbaaa," the actor posted along with the snap adorned with the Rupee symbol.
Bachchan, who has been hosting the show for 14 years, was reportedly speechless as the brothers made it to the top prize.
Siddhartha Basu, who is the producer of the show, said the jackpot win was a moment to cherish.
"We
have been waiting for a moment like this since the inception of this
show. It is a pleasure to see bright brains like Achin and Sarthak
battle it out for the Maha Jackpot."
Gaurav Seth, senior
vice-president marketing, Sony Entertainment Television called the win a
"momentous occasion" while congratulating the brothers on their win.
