Ramayan question stumps contestant
In an episode, aired on October 1, contestant Shraddha failed to answer a question on Ramayan which was for ₹7.5 lakh money. The question asked was:
According to the Valmiki Ramayana, who did Lord Rama send as a messenger to Sugreev to remind him of his promise to search for Goddess Sita?
The options were: A. Lord Hanuman, B. Lakshman, C. Angad, and D. Bharat.
Shraddha, who had been playing the game with full confidence until then, suddenly found herself unsure of the answer. To clear her confusion, she decided to use a lifeline, where she received a hint – that the person in question had accompanied Lord Rama into exile. Following this, she replied by saying, Lakshman, as her answer and won ₹7.5 lakh.
Later on, she was seen making it to the ₹25 lakh question but chose to quit at the 13th, taking home ₹12.50 lakh.
As per the Hindu epic Ramayana, Sugreev forgot about his promise which he made to Lord Rama after he became the king. He was acting carefree in his duties and was not willing to step out of his palace. That’s when Lakshman decides to go to Kishkindha himself and remind him about the promise. Following this, Sugreev honoured his promise and organised the search for Goddess Sita.
