KBC 12: This question by Amitabh Bachchan helped contestant win Rs 1.6 lakh! Do you know the answer?

KBC 12: In one of the latest 'Kaun Banega Crorepati 12' episodes, TV show host Amitabh Bachchan asked an interesting question about the South East Central Railway - the show tests knowledge of contestants and allows them to earn a handsome amount if they get it right. It has helped a lot of people find fame overnight. The show hosted by Megastar Amitabh Bachchan explores every domain and puts before contestants interesting set of questions.  

In this instance, Bachchan asked one of the contestants participating in this show about the name of the 2.8-kilometre long freight train. The train was started by the Indian Railways in its South East Central Zone in July 2020.  The answer was that this was actually the longest freight train in India, and has 251 wagons. It was launched on July 2.  

Smita, the contestant, answered the question and it put Rs 1.6 lakh in her winnings. Do you know the answer to this interesting question? 

When Bachchan asked her to give her the answer by naming the train, she replied ‘'Sheshnaag’', which turned out to be the right answer, fetching Smita Rs 1.6 lakh. 

When Bachchan asked this contestant what prompted her to choose this answer, she confidently said that she had read about it and did not even look at the other options before locking her answer.  

The interesting part is that the Railways actually tweeted the same with this message, "In Famous TV show "Kaun Banega Crorepati", @SrBachchan
