The latest episode of KBC 12 began with Ashish Sharma, who was the roll-over contestant from the previous episode. Host Amitabh Bachchan introduced Ashish along with a video clip about his life. Contestant Ashish Sharma successfully reached the bar of Rs 1.60 lakhs, but failed to answer the next question. 

KBC 12 contestant Ashish Sharma stuck on this Bollywood question

Kaun Banega Crorepati has managed to transform the lives of many in its run for over 12 years. In the recent episode of KBC 12, Ashish Sharma was the roll-over contestant from the previous episode who was all excited to win a huge amount of money. He managed to win Rs. 1.60 Lakhs and was prepared to go ahead for the next one, but had no lifelines left. The next one was an audio question in which a song was played from a Bollywood movie. Here’s the question for Rs. 3.20 Lakhs which Ashish Sharma failed to answer.

Question: The movie that features this song is loosely based on which battle between India and Pakistan?

A. Battle of Longewala

B. Kargil War

C. India-Pakistan War 1965

D. Kashmir First War

The audio was for the song Sandese Aate Hain from the popular Sunny Deol movie, 'Border'. The movie released in 1997 and was based on the India-Pakistan war of 1971 called the Battle of Longewala. So, the correct answer to the question was option A. Ashish Sharma was speculating option B as the correct one, but as he wasn't sure about the answer and had no lifelines left. He thus chose to quit the game with Rs.1.60 lakh.
