However, Chhavi Kumar ended up being the first contestant on KBC 12 to win Rs 50 lakh. She chose to quit the game when she was faced with a really tough Rs 1 crore question. Here is the question she was asked by Amitabh Bachchan: 

After which Greek goddess is the US space program to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024 named? 

The correct answer was: Artemis 

The options were: Rhea, Nemesis, Aphrodite, and Artemis. Chhavi had used all her lifelines so she decided to quit the game. When she was asked to guess the answer, she chose Rhea. Fortunately, for her, Chhavi had quit earlier and if she had given this answer, it would have brought her winnings down to Rs 3.20 lakh, leading to a whopping loss of nearly Rs 47 lakh. 

Chhavi Kumar is the wife of an AIR Force Officer. She is an English teacher in Ghaziabad. And her husband is an Air Traffic Control Officer in the Indian Air Force. During the show, she also talked about the difficulties army families have to go through when the husband gets transferred from one city to another.  

Kumar said that she had lived in almost 8 cities in the last 17 years. Since she understands the norms and traditions of the Indian Air Force, she informally counsels newly wedded wives of the Air Force family about the Army culture, she revealed.
