Both the crorepatis in this season of Kaun Banega Crorepati were from Bihar. Schoolgoers, who are also keen followers of KBC, cannot sit on the hotseat this year but they can always play the quizmaster. The Telegraph asked some of them which celebrity they would want to see on the programme and what questions they would like to ask

Shubham Kumar

Class XII
Patna Central School
Who: Nitish Kumar
Why: He is our cool chief minister and according to me, the most deserving to be on the hotseat. I am sure all Biharis would like to find out how he tackles the tricky questions. Being the architect of the new face of Bihar, Nitishji deserves to be on the quiz show more than anyone else
Questions:
• Which place was actually used as Hogwarts for the shooting of the Harry Potter series?
• Which Bollywood personality once worked as a freight broker for a shipping firm in Calcutta?
• Which brand of mineral water has the punchline Boond Boond Mein Vishwas?
• What 8-lettered word connects Google, HP and Navneet?
• In the story of the life of Naina Catherine Kapur Patel, I died of Cancer. Who am I?

Shashank Anand

Class X
Radiant
International School
Who: Vashishth Narayan Singh
Why: V.N. Singh is an intellectual besides being a great mathematician. Maths has always been my favourite subject and Singh is the mathematician I admire most. I know, despite being unwell, he would come out on top and make Bihar proud on the quiz show
Questions:
• Among Indian mathematicians, who was the first to give the formula for the sum of squares and the cubes of natural numbers?
• Who quoted “mathematics is the art of saying many things in many different ways”?
• Who proposed the quantum theory?
• Who was the youngest Indian professor in mathematics?
• When did Aryabhatta propose his first theory in the field of mathematics?

Sumedha Basu

Class XI
St Joseph’s Convent High School
Who: Shatrughan Sinha
Why: Sushil Kumar and Anil Kumar have made Bihar proud in Kaun Banega Crorepati. Next, our Shotgun should face the volley of questions. He has excelled in different roles: as an actor, as a politician and now as the host of KBC Bhojpuri. It would be very interesting to see how he fares on the hotseat, as a contestant opposite the great Big B
Questions:
• Which museum designed by George Witter was formerly known as Prince of Wales Museum?
• What is the Google headquarters called?
• Who was the first person to reach the North Pole?

• Which was the first film in which Shatrughan Sinha co-starred with Amitabh Bachhan?

Chandrali Mukherjee

Class XI
DAV Public School, BSEB
Who: Imtiaz Ali
Why: He has given several hits. From Jab We Met, Love Aaj Kal to the recently released Rockstar, he has proved his mettle as a director. Given an option as to who I want to see on the most famous quiz show on Indian television, it would be him. Just want to see how a man, who makes others act according to his scripts, reacts in front of Computerji, while facing difficult questions
Questions:
• Who was the father of Ashoka the Great?
• Where can one find hot springs in Bihar?
• Which famous astronomer’s observatory was set up in Khagaul?
• Where is the Bodhi Tree situated under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment?
• Which city is the home to ancient Buddhist International University?

Ashwary Mishra

Class XII B
Radiant International School
Who: Lalu Prasad
Why: He is the most charismatic character in Bihar and has an awesome record in politics. He served Bihar for more than one-and-a-half decades. His wit and sense of humour would add spice to the show. If he makes it to the hotseat, nobody would miss the show
Questions:
• Which country’s National Anthem, apart from India, was written by Rabindranath Tagore?
• Sarang is the name of which weapon of Sri Krishna?
• Which language is the most spoken in China?
• Name the 13-year-old boy, who was the youngest to climb Mount Everest.
