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 brothers, who hail from Delhi, emerged victorious after answering all the 14 questions 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. “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,” he later tweeted, followed by a photograph of the winners.
