Gautam Kumar Jha, however, will opt to go home with Rs. 1 crore, thus becoming the third contestant to take home such money on Amitabh Bachchan hosted show Kaun Banega Crorepati. A teaser of the show has been leaked, in which Amitabh Bachchan announces Gautam Kumar Jha as the winner of Rs. 1 crore.

Gautam Kumar Jha originally hails from Bihar and is staying with his wife in West Bengal since two years due to his job transfer. Jha works with the Indian Railways and can boast of being the senior section engineer there. He completed his M Tech from ISM Dhanbad and has worked as a bank manager with Canara Bank before the railway job.

Prior to Jha, the show found its crorepatis in Bihar’s IAS aspirant Sanoj Raj and Maharashtra’s mid-day-meal cook Babita Taide. Among them, Sanoj came one step closer to Rs. 7 crore since the answer which he attempted after quitting the show with Rs. 1 crore, too, was correct.
